At a time of ecological collapse<\/a> and rising food insecurity, architecture is increasingly called upon to engage not only with landscapes but with the systems that sustain and regenerate them. Among these systems, agriculture<\/a> occupies a paradoxical role, as both a leading contributor to environmental degradation and a potential agent of ecological recovery. Industrial farming<\/a> has depleted soils, fragmented habitats, and driven climate change through monocultures, fossil-fuel dependency, and territorial standardization. In response, agroecology<\/a> has emerged as a counter-practice rooted in biodiversity, local knowledge, and the cyclical rhythms of nature. It reframes farming not as extraction, but as regeneration of ecosystems, communities, and the soil itself.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

This reframing opens space for architecture<\/a> to contribute meaningfully. To align with agroecology is not only to support food production<\/a>, but to engage with the broader cultural, spatial, and ecological conditions that sustain it. It implies designing with seasonal variation, supporting shared use, and building in ways that respect both the land and those who work it. Architecture<\/a> becomes more than enclosure \u2014 it becomes a mediator of cultivation, reciprocity, and coexistence.<\/p>\n
