Defines the relationship between agroecology and sustainable development, and explores strategies for helping farmers make the transition to sustainable farming systems. The eleven contributions discuss both management practices specific to a particular region and more global efforts to develop set of indicators of sustainability. Topics include increasing sustainability in Mediterranean cropping systems with self-reseeding annual legumes, manipulating plant biodiversity to enhance biological control of insect pests, nematode communities as ecological indicators of agroecosystem health, and a policy oriented analysis of socioenvironmental dynamics with special reference to forest margins in North Lampung, Indonesia.
