Our authors
The dictionary of agroecology associates a diversity of authors in the writing of definitions. More than 170 authors are mobilized for the dictionary. A wide range of disciplines from the biotechnical sciences and the humanities and social sciences are represented: sociology, economics, zootechnics, geography, ecology, agronomy, organizational sciences, etc. In the same way, the diversity of generational affiliation and the institutional and professional attachment of the authors represents a source of plurality of approaches, styles and points of view from which the dictionary benefits. Each definition is written, according to precise specifications, by one or more scientific experts, sometimes accompanied by professional partners and actors from the agricultural world, such as the National Botanical Conservatory, the Scientific Interest Groups (GIS), the Regional Nature Parks, the Chambers of Agriculture, the Agricultural Technical Institutes, etc., as well as students from Toulouse schools of higher education in agrobiosciences
