Ecologists, agronomists, and others who may question the validity
of current models for determining sustainable growth of
agroecosystems, need a new set of analytical tools that more
effectively address the complex nature of related processes. Those
who challenge traditional assumptions of optimization and static
factors in agricultural modeling demand new methods beyond
differential equations and traditional statistical tests.
Multi-Scale Integrated Analysis of Agroecosystems explores
alternative ways to study agricultural sustainability, presenting
new approaches to organizing data and applying complex systems
theory to actual cases. This innovative text recognizes the
changing dynamics of the multiple processes and cross-relations
within an environment, proposing a clearer analysis of
agroecosystems than that which can be provided by rigid,
reductionist methods. Main concepts, new vocabulary and narratives,
and practical examples open the book, followed by technical
chapters that provide a more detailed explanation of concepts. The
final section of the book presents a tool kit based on these
concepts, resulting in strong support of empirical observations
that challenge traditional notions regarding the sustainability of
farming systems, food systems, and agroecosystems.
