It defines the disciplinary field responsible for designing and producing actions, institutions and regulations aimed at achieving agrarian sustainability. In short, it aims to build a political theory that makes the scaling-up of agroecological experiences possible, turning them into the foundation of a new and alternative food regime.

It establishes a framework for a common agroecological strategy, covering the different levels of collective action and the different instruments with which it can be developed.
