AgroEcoSOS (until 2018)

Today, intensive agriculture makes a substantial contribution to exceeding the limits of our planet's ecological sustainability. At local and regional level, too, agriculture is often anything but sustainable. AGROECOSOS will define so-called Safe and fair Operating Spaces (SOS), a scope for action for agriculture within which the limits of sustainability are not exceeded. In recent years, agro-ecological research has proposed a variety of solutions to improve both yields and the resilience and sustainability of agriculture. A promising concept is permaculture, which reproduces the properties of natural systems in a design process and incorporates socio-ecological approaches. Permaculture is based on design principles that include multifunctionality, biodiversity, yield reliability with low use of agrochemicals, but also social-philosophical dimensions.
