L’agroécologie s’inscrit dans le registre de l’écologie, qui s’intéresse aux interactions - et à leurs conséquences - entre l’homme et son milieu, en tentant de minimiser les effets négatifs de certaines des activités humaines. Elle vise la préservation de l’environnement, le renouvellement durable des ressources naturelles nécessaire à la production (eau, sol, biodiversité...) et l’économie d’utilisation des ressources non renouvelables.
