Zusammenfassung
Agro-ecological movements are spreading and many local experiences are being carried out. But Agroecology has not still developed instruments and approaches to elaborate state and regional strategies, where the political and institutional aspects play a key role. This text contributes to overcoming these oversights by means of a theoretical foundation that demonstrates why Agroecology should engage politics. Firstly we argue that agro-ecosystems, as socio-ecological constructions, are produced through power relations. Secondly, we show the close relationship between agro-ecosystem dynamics and politics, and therefore, the crucial role that political Agroecology plays in the agro-ecological transition. Finally we evaluate the world food system as the context in which agro-ecological experiences should be developed.
