Abstract: In the present context of climate change and increasing concerns to develop healthy agri-food systems, agro-ecology gains ground and visibility as a scientific discipline, sustainable approach to agriculture and social movement. There is an increased interest in terms of its multiple benefits, from climate resilience to agricultural productivity. However, its promotion in agricultural public policies, research and extension is still limited. The main objective of this study is to strengthen the theoretical knowledge base on agro-ecology, as well as on its economic, ecological and social benefits.
