Presentation Title
Terms and Concepts in Alternative Agriculture: Critical Discourse and Bibliometric Analysis
Abstract
Transforming agri-food systems is a key goal for the 21st century, necessary to solving the twin crises of food insecurity and environmental degradation. While there is consensus on this statement, the efforts made to transform the system are subject to substantial conflict, and an enormous proliferation of terminology. I present analysis of various terms for ecologically friendly agriculture, shining light on the similarities and differences between terms, both with regards to agronomy and political economy.
