The intention of this book is to provide a common analytical framework for agroecological collective action. It aims to offer the epistemological and theoretical arguments that drive the construction and development of this field, in order to operationalize the struggle for agricultural or agri-food sustainability. It also seeks to develop a narrative of the agri-food crisis that can not only be shared by a significant majority of those working in this field, but also provide a common analysis within which to integrate proposals that can appropriately guide collective action from an agroecological perspective. Many diagnoses of the agri-food crisis exist, and many of them lack agroecological content. Ultimately, the goal is to establish the theoretical and methodological foundations of a common agroecological strategy, built from within agroecology itself, that encompasses the different levels at which collective action is considered and the various instruments with which it can be developed. Every strategy consists of defining the tasks necessary to advance the transition towards agri-food sustainability, but also prioritizing them and defining the most effective instruments to achieve that goal.
