Principles, barriers and enablers to agroecological animal production systems: a qualitative approach based on five case studies by B. Dumont, C. Barlagne, P. Cassart, J.E. Duval, A. Fanchone, J-L. Gourdine, O. Huguenin-Elie, Y. Kazakova, J. Klötzli, A. Lüscher, E. Oteros-Rozas, D. Pomies, M.G. Rivera Ferre, W.A.H. Rossing, V. Stefanova, A. Swartebroeckx, C. Zagaria

“…Though we could observe activities related to each agroecological principle in each case study, the relative importance of each principle differed. For instance, in Switzerland, the focus was on ecological processes operating in multispecies mixtures, and therefore on mobilising principles of input reduction, synergy, soil health and biodiversity, while in Andalucía, a civil society organisation, a regional agricultural office, researchers, and farmers mainly mobilised transformational principles at the food system level, e.g. social values, connectivity and participation. …”
