Abstract
This paper delves into the critical issues surrounding agroecology, with a specific focus on the intersection of ecology, polity, society, and economy. In the context of the Anthropocene era, the global threat of climate change poses significant challenges such as rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and disruptions in food production. The paper highlights the predicted impacts of climate change on food security, particularly in the tropics, emphasizing the need for social and environmental justice in mitigation and adaptation efforts. Furthermore, it discusses the concept of political agroecology as a lens to address sociological and political aspects within the realm of agroecology. Through an exploration of feminist goals in agroecology, the paper also examines the role of women empowerment in advancing sustainable agricultural practices. Overall, this paper aims to contribute to the discourse on agroecology by shedding light on key themes and challenges at the nexus of ecology, society, and politics.
