Hunger and malnutrition affect nearly 800 million people in the developing
world. Those problems are not due to absolute scarcity of food, but due to the
complex issues of who grows the food and where it is grown, how it is
distrubuted, and finally, who has acess to it.
Since 1960, world food production has grown faster than population, mainly
because of the Green Revolution, an effort to increase biodiversity in
agriculturally less advanced regions of the world. But, this attempt resulted in
failure because it was based on improved seeds , which required heavy use of
fertilizers, pesticides , irrigation and machinery. Consequently, the
environmental and socio-economic impacts have been negative, and most
importantly, the project has not ended world famines.
The alternative is a viable and productive small farm agricultural system
using the principles of agroecology. This scientific discipline studies
agricultural systems from an ecological and socio-economic perspective. It
integrates indigenous knowledge with modern technical knowledge and
emphasizes the interrelationship of all the elements in an agroecosystem,
including human elements. In contrast to the conventional Green Revolution
approach that focuses on uniform technologies and heavy use of chemicals,
agroecology is based on plant and animal conservation, minimal dependence
on agrochemicals, natural pest control, and regeneration and scarcity of
resources.
