Advancing food sovereignty through farmer-driven digital agroecology

Abstract Agroecology, as a science, practice, and social movement, has been posed as a potential pathway to revitalize global food systems through a shift towards social and ecological justice. Complex and diversified agroecological systems vary widely globally and have been poorly characterized by...

The farmer-scientist research team aims to chart a course for researchers to investigate how trade-offs among productive, sociocultural, economic, and/or environmental indicators might be minimized to enhance overall system sustainability across diverse contexts globally while also providing tools of use to agroecological farmers and their organizations, who can then autonomously capture (some of) the benefits of the digital agricultural revolution without ceding data sovereignty.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.Facultad de Agronomía e Ingeniería ForestalInternational journal of agriculture and natural resources v.47 n.3 20202020-12-01text/htmlhttp://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S2452-57312020000300235en10.7764/ijanr.v47i3.2299
