Description: Agroecological practices are sustainable farming methods that enhance biodiversity, improve soil health, and reduce chemical inputs. These practices are based on ecological principles and aim to create agricultural systems that are resilient and self-sufficient. By integrating traditional knowledge with scientific innovations, agroecological practices promote a holistic approach that considers not only food production but also community well-being and environmental conservation. Key characteristics include crop rotation, the use of organic fertilizers, water resource conservation, and the promotion of biological diversity. These practices not only help mitigate the environmental impact of conventional agriculture but also foster food sovereignty and sustainable rural development. In a global context where agriculture faces challenges such as climate change and soil degradation, agroecological practices emerge as a viable alternative that seeks to balance agricultural production with ecosystem conservation.
