Agroecology presents a dual role as both a response to and a solution for environmental challenges. It emphasizes the regeneration of ecosystems through practices rooted in biodiversity and local knowledge, framing farming as a restorative process. Agroecological design focuses on adapting spaces to support ongoing cycles of care rather than control. This approach extends beyond rural areas, influencing urban infrastructures and addressing complex questions about stewardship and the relational aspects of food systems. Agroecology encourages treating resources as commons, fostering a cooperative ethos in agricultural practices.
Agroecology reframes farming not as extraction, but as a regeneration of ecosystems, communities, and the soil itself, integrating ecological principles with agricultural practices.
Unlike conventional forms of sustainable agriculture, agroecology seeks to regenerate ecosystems through diversity, reciprocity, and care, treating soil, water, and seed as living commons.
Agroecological design asks how buildings can host living processes and adapt to ecological rhythms, posing questions about supporting not just production, but stewardship.
The architectural implications of agroecology extend to the design of infrastructures that connect cultivation with transformation, distribution, and exchange, impacting both rural and urban spaces.
