Abstract

The concept of agroecology in the United States is born out of a dialectical process of co-production of knowledge whereby the science of agroecology has shaped and been shaped by alternative agri-food movements, policy, and local practice. This article examines the relationship between agroecology and alternative agri-food movements and identifies opportunities for greater engagement.The article concludes with a discussion of the challenges and opportunities to scaling up agroecology and sustainable agri-food systems.
