TL;DR: In this article, the authors make the case for a science that develops the best ecological means to produce food in a way that has substantially less negative effects on biodiversity and associated ecosystem services and indeed, should be able to contribute to their persistence and enhancement.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify and address what we poorly know, that is understanding bio-ecological mechanisms at work in agro-systems, using agrobiodiversity as leverage for intensification, exploring the multiple and complex links between the technical dimension of practices and socioeconomic and political changes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model of a modele d'organisation de l'espace et des dynamiques spatiales d'un district d'Afrique du Sud montre les espaces bien delimites et dissymetriques issus de la politique d'apartheid.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors identify three main pillars: (1) the mobilization and management of ecological processes for the sustainable production and the resilience of agroecosystems; (2) the development of interactions between technical, social, environmental, and institutional components of AgroecOSystems for a holistic approach to agro-ecology; and (3) the scaling up of agriculture that takes place with a plurality of actions and pathways at different organization levels rather than an increase in resources and a replication of standardized technical processes.
