EcoAgri

EcoAgri is a conceptual framework and a movement advocating for agricultural practices that prioritize ecological sustainability and social equity. It emerged as a response to the perceived environmental and social shortcomings of conventional industrial agriculture, often characterized by monoculture, heavy reliance on synthetic inputs, and large-scale mechanization. EcoAgri aims to integrate ecological principles into farming systems, fostering biodiversity, soil health, and water conservation.

Key principles often associated with EcoAgri include organic farming methods, agroforestry, permaculture, and regenerative agriculture. These approaches typically emphasize reducing or eliminating synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, enhancing soil organic matter, and promoting closed-loop systems where waste is minimized and resources are recycled. The movement also frequently champions local food systems, fair labor practices, and the empowerment of smallholder farmers.

The goal of EcoAgri is to create food production systems that are not only productive but also resilient, environmentally sound, and socially just. Proponents believe that by working with natural processes rather than against them, agriculture can contribute positively to ecosystems and human well-being. While specific implementations vary, the overarching vision of EcoAgri is a transformation of food production towards greater harmony with nature and society.
