La agroecología es una ciencia y práctica que estudia promueve sistemas agrícolas sostenibles, basados en principios ecológicos, integran la biodiversidad, los ciclos naturales procesos biológicos para producir alimentos de manera eficiente, respetando mejorando salud del suelo, el agua, biodiversidad bienestar humano. Este estudio presenta un análisis comparativo producción bibliográfica torno a entre años 2010 e inicios 2023, cinco regiones: América Latina Caribe, África, Asia, Europa Norteamérica. Mediante búsqueda diversas bases datos utilizando términos específicos, se identificó amplia gama información, luego delimitó 40 documentos por región. El método utilizado hermenéutico, con cual llevó cabo lectura interpretación documentos, destacaron métodos, enfoques, temas desafíos abordados autores relación cada Al respecto puede deducir está convirtiendo crucial, aborda globales fundamentales como cambio climático seguridad alimentaria, así soluciones progresivas al desabastecimiento alimentario, pobreza inequidad. Su consolidación holística transdisciplinaria, refleja su madurez capacidad ofrecer integrales problemas complejos.

The climate crisis, natural resource exploitation, and concerns around how to feed a growing world population have resulted in chorus identifying the need for Plan B. For some, this B entails preparing long-duration space missions development of human settlement on Mars. To plan missions, food production technologies that can withstand extreme conditions such as poor soil, lack gravity, radiation are increasingly prioritized. These may include genetic engineering, digital agriculture, 3D bioprinting, synthetically grown meat more. Government corporate proponents missions—NASA SpaceX, among others—are actively funding agricultural research space. They argue developed will positive implications beyond Mars—directly benefitting Earth its inhabitants. This paper demonstrates news reporting technology has been overall uncritical. Media narratives surrounding issues growth not studied. study analyzes English media coverage ( n = 170) from 67 publications report feasibility settlements, high-tech technologies. We provide cross-section types being covered, key organizations actors field, critical analysis narratives. Using mixed methods content discourse analysis, finds overwhelmingly portray both inevitable good humanity. Without critically assessing societal vis-à-vis their benefits Earth, we risk glossing over systemic structural inequalities system.

The dexterity and affordability of gene-editing technologies promise wide-ranging applications in agriculture. Aiming to take advantage this, proponents emphasize benefits such as the climate-mitigating promises gene editing. Critics, on other hand, argue that editing will perpetuate industrialized forms agriculture its concomitant environmental social problems. Across a representative sample US Canadian residents (n = 1478), we investigate public views perceptions agricultural We advance existing survey-based studies, which tend focus whether knowledge, familiarity, trust, or naturalness predict Instead, examine broader societal concerns about food systems—a key claim genetic engineering launched by critics—predicts comfort with also explore predictive power climate change an urgent problem, following proponent arguments. Survey results reference specific cases (e.g., drought-tolerant wheat) alternatives versus pesticide use). find people critical systems were most likely express overall absolute opposition technology, whereas those concerned imminence more support climate-relevant Our findings suggest need for further research into conditions upon groups compelling not—namely, if enhance counter industrial systems, offer particular adaptive benefits.
