Agroecology Group (TT)

Last modified: 02. February 2024

The Agroecology Group is dedicated to the multidisciplinary study of agroecosystems, encompassing educational, research, and service-oriented activities. Comprising independent scientific subfields within the group, such as agroecological modeling, sustainable farming practices, biodiversity conservation, and ecosystem services evaluation, collectively establish the foundations for robust and scientifically rigorous education. Additionally, the group actively engages in various domestic and international research initiatives, exemplifying their commitment to advancing agroecological knowledge.

One of the primary research focuses of the Agroecology Group lies in the development and application of agroecological models. These models aim to simulate and analyze the dynamics of ecological processes within agricultural systems, providing valuable insights into sustainable farming practices. The group also investigates the intricate relationships between agricultural activities and biodiversity conservation, recognizing the critical role biodiversity plays in enhancing ecosystem resilience.

Furthermore, the Agroecology Group emphasizes the evaluation of ecosystem services within agroecosystems. Through comprehensive assessments, the group seeks to quantify and understand the diverse benefits that agricultural landscapes provide, ranging from pollination services to soil fertility enhancement. This approach aligns with the broader goal of promoting agroecosystems that are not only productive but also environmentally sustainable.

In the realm of education, the group actively contributes to the development of academic programs in agroecology. Their involvement spans across various levels of education, from foundational courses to advanced research programs. This ensures a comprehensive and integrated approach to agroecological education, fostering the next generation of professionals equipped to address the complex challenges of sustainable agriculture.
