Agroecosystems Discussion Group
This discussion group aims to connect early career scientists for lively discussions on agroecosystems in different contexts. We hope to discuss a wide range of topics including the application of production ecology and systems theory in rural contexts across the world, from a bio-physical and a socio-economic perspective, at the level of the field, the farm(ing household) and the farming system. This group will pay special focus to often neglected issues related to biodiversity preservation looking at the role of biodiversity across topics such as agroecology, sustainable diets, ecosystem services and evolution. We meet once every month, in hybrid form. In these discussion sessions we learn from the experience and expertise of each other, and of invited speakers.
Every meeting, two group members are responsible for planning and moderating. Discussion topics can be based on publications, news articles / public debate, videos, and your own experiences (methodological successes and learnings). Presentations are kept short, so that there is ample time to discuss the process, problems and progress of research on agroecosystems. In addition to the monthly meetings, there are one or two excursions per year.
