Ecology: an integrated science for the artificialization of nature

The main challenges confronting contemporary agronomy are being addressed according to the emerging and complex problems of our era. Agronomy corresponds to the science and profession of solving the problems ofagriculture. The emergence of agronomy in sociocultural processes and their coevolution is...
