Agroecology is a scientific and holistic approach to agriculture that focuses on the principles of ecology, sustainability, and social justice. It seeks to  understand and utilize the interactions between plants, animals, humans, and the environment in agricultural systems.

Agroecology recognizes the importance of biodiversity, natural resource conservation, and the promotion of ecological processes in farming practices. It emphasizes the integration of traditional knowledge, local expertise, and scientific research to develop regenerative agricultural systems that are resilient, productive, and restore local ecologies.
