Agroecosystems are ecosystems that have been altered or designed by humans for the purpose of producing food, fiber, or other agricultural products. These systems incorporate a combination of plants, animals, microorganisms, soil, and environmental conditions to create sustainable and productive agricultural landscapes. Research in agroecosystems focuses on understanding the ecological interactions within these systems, including nutrient cycling, pest and disease dynamics, biodiversity, and ecosystem resilience. Scientists study how different agricultural practices and management strategies impact the sustainability, productivity, and environmental impact of agroecosystems. Overall, research in agroecosystems aims to develop and promote sustainable agricultural practices that are environmentally friendly, economically viable, and socially responsible. This research area plays a crucial role in ensuring food security and the overall health of our planet.
