Abstract

We discusse in this paper which the most appropriate strategies can be for spreading Agroecology in Europe, where the agriculture is highly industrialized, very dependent of the public subsidies, and where the peasant has disappeared practically. We claimed for a sustainable agrifood systems, that they are neccesary not only for the health of european agroecosystems and the well-being of the farmers, but also for the food autonomy of peripheric countries whose production is overturned too much to meet the European demands of animal feeding and to maintain an unsustainable diet. From a agroecological perspective the most coherent solution is promoting the sustainable degrowth of the european agrifood system. The organic agriculture and the fair coonsumption could be the most siutable way to o achieve it, two proposals they should go indissolubly united.
