Transdisciplinarity in agroecology: practices and perspectives in Europe

Abstract: Agroecology, as a science for the study, design and management of sustainable food systems, retakes epistemic, methodological and practical approaches of transdisciplinarity. However, there is not a unanimous understanding of these approaches and few studies investigate its implementation.Transdisciplinarity is defined lato sensu as the practices of collaboration and knowledge integration between non-academic actors and scientists. This approach is at stake in Europe, especially in the field of food systems. O… Show more

“…Clusters 2 and 3 encompass projects applying a problem focus, but limited interactions with practitioners, focused on responding and reacting to the research in alignment with the features of Mobjörk's ‘consulting transdisciplinarity’ category ‘Participatory transdisciplinarity’, where practitioners are fully included in the knowledge production process, can be related to Cluster 4 and, by this standard, also to Cluster 5. Furthermore, in this our results show similarities to the division between ‘classical consultative research’ and ‘practical problem‐solving and co‐innovation’ as defined by a cluster analysis of transdisciplinary research in agroecology by Fernández González et al (2021).…”

“…Yet, in reality, a spectrum of more or less transdisciplinary research modes may be expected due to design decisions to navigate sustainability research within the boundaries of societal and scientific requirements. Empirical research on transdisciplinarity has illustrated the diversity of research approaches and revealed relationships between individual characteristics of research processes (Brandt et al, 2013; De Jong et al, 2016; Fernández González et al, 2021; Lux et al, 2019; Phillipson et al, 2012; Schneider, Giger, et al, 2019; Zscheischler et al, 2018). However, the literature is still lacking a robust and empirically grounded identification of different modes of research.…”

“…Students appreciation of experiential learning on farms coheres with scholarship advocating for contextual, place-based learning within agroecology education Code, 2017;David and Bell, 2018;Fernández González et al, 2021). Students' reports of integrating experiential and abstract learning are particularly important in addressing the ontological reversal that defines much of the theory-centric pedagogy within institutions of higher education.…”

“…Moreover, the authors claim that exposure to low-level disturbances promotes heterogeneity in the landscape and promotes renewal and reorganization within the system. It is important to emphasize that the most recognized and accepted literature uses the agroecosystem as a scale of analysis in agroecology (Gallardo-López et al, 2018) and that the conjunction of the agroecosystem and agroecological practices is called a mixed conception (Fernández González et al, 2020). The authors indicate that in this mixed conception, there is no unanimous understanding of transdisciplinary approaches and few studies investigate their implementation.…”
