Complex traditions: theoretical frameworks’ intersection on agroecological research
Traditional knowledge of farmers is vast and permanently evolving, as they keep learning from daily experiences and mutual exchange with other farmers. Ecological modern science is (or should be) the scientific basis for agroecology and should work in synergy with the constant accumulation of knowledge of small-scale producers. Traditional agricultural knowledge is however deep, limited; while modern ecological knowledge is broad but not deep. The intersection of both could generate new knowledge that is both wide and deep.
