Advances in Agroecology


About the Series

Edited by Stephen Gliessman and Helda Morales, the Advances in Agroecology series has been a keystone of the CRC Press Ecology and Agriculture book portfolio for nearly 25 years. The books span a diverse range of topics from Agroforestry, Soil Science and Microbial Ecology to food system transparency, environmental resilience and urban agroecology. The readership is international, with authors and editors from across the globe, targeting academic researchers, professionals – from ‘on-the-ground’ practitioners to policy makers - and graduate level students. Advancing ecological, political, social and environmental change since the first book published in 1998, this series continues to aid the transition of our current food system to new farming practices that mitigate climate change and prioritise local supply chains.
