The study of the ecological processes that are applied to agricultural production systems is known as agroecology. It is involved in the study of various agroecosystems. Agroecology explores the methods by which technology can be used in combination with social, natural and human assets.

There are different approaches in this field, like inclusive agroecology, indigenous agroecology and agro-population ecology. It is closely related to the fields of organic agriculture and integrated farming. This textbook attempts to understand the multiple branches that fall under the discipline of agroecology and how such concepts have practical applications. It studies, analyses and upholds the pillars of this field and their utmost significance in modern times.
