A comprehensive meta-analysis* of 170 studies conducted across 21 European countries finds that shifting to agroecological farming practices reduces agriculture’s negative impacts on nature and contributes to climate mitigation.
The research, led by Horizon EU project Agroecology-TRANSECT and published in Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment journal, brings together scientific evidence showing that agroecology, an ecological, sustainable and integrated approach to farming, consistently benefits ecosystems and contributes to climate mitigation.
