What do we mean by agroecological scaling?
As support for agroecology grows around the world, an urgent question spanning our field’s
scientific, practical, and movement dimensions is how agroecology can “scale” to includemore
people in more places in fair, sustainable food systems. Our challenge is to seize this opportunity
while pushing back against the tendency to strip agroecology of its transformative potential
by reducing it to a set of technical solutions for the resource degradation produced by
agribusiness (Giraldo and Rosset 2017). Here, we lay out what we mean (and do not mean)
by agroecological scaling and explain the scope of this special issue.
