A Transformative (r)Evolution of the Research on Agriculture through Fostering Human-Nature Connectedness—A Special Issue Editorial.

In addition, agricultural intensification is currently threatening the maintenance of traditional indigenous and peasant farming, whose practices have been proven to be beneficial for building up resilient agroecosystems that sustain both ecosystems and societal well-being [[15]]. However, so far, in the Global North, the majority of the proposed frameworks have been based on applying incremental or reformative practices (e.g., sustainable intensification, sustainable agriculture, conservation agriculture, or integrated pest management) [[32]], whereas agroecology has been more frequently applied in countries of the Global South [[33]]. A Transformative (r)Evolution of the Research on Agriculture through Fostering Human-Nature Connectedness - A Special Issue Editorial For instance, very often, agroecology is combined with the use of participatory research methods, such as participatory action research [[41]], and on the other hand, over the last few years, citizen-science methods have become an emerging topic in sustainable agriculture [[42]].
