This book represents a first attempt to investigate the relations
between Law and Agroecology. There is a need to adopt a
transdisciplinary approach to multifunctional agriculture in order
to integrate the agroecological paradigm in legal regulation. This
does not require a super-law that hierarchically purports to
incorporate and supplant the existing legal fields; rather, it
calls for the creation of a trans-law that progressively works to
coordinate interlegalities between different legal fields,
respecting their autonomy but emphasizing their common historical
roots in rus in the process. Rus, the rural phenomenon as a whole,
reflects the plurality and interdependence of different complex
systems based jointly on the land as a central point of reference.
“Rural” is more than “agricultural”: if agriculture is
understood traditionally as an activity aimed at exploiting the
land for the production of material goods for use, consumption and
private exchange, rurality marks the reintegration of agriculture
into a broader sphere, one that is not only economic, but also
social and cultural; not only material, but also ideal, relational,
historical, and symbolic; and not only private, but also public. In
approaching rus, the natural and social sciences first became
specialized, multiplied, and compartmentalized in a plurality of
first-order disciplines; later, they began a process of integration
into Agroecology as a second-order, multi-perspective and shared
research platform. Today, Agroecology is a transdiscipline that
integrates other fields of knowledge into the concept of
agroecosystems viewed as socio-ecological systems. However, the law
seems to still be stuck in the first stage. Following a
reductionist approach, law has deconstructed and shattered the
universe of rus into countless, disjointed legal elementary
particles, multiplying the planes of analysis and, in particular,
keeping Agricultural Law and Environmental Law two separate fields.
