农业生态学有三种实践形式：科学学科、农业实践和社会运动。它们的一体化提供了一种集体行动模式，可用以挑战占主导地位的农业粮食制度，并创造替代办法，特别是通过与粮食主权的联系。与此同时，生态农业最近也被一些促进传统农业的行为者采用。农业生态学可以发挥不同的作用，要么符合占主导地位的制度，否则帮助改变它的具体授权战略。在欧洲的农业生态研究中，可以发现“整合与改造”作用之间的紧张关系，特别是在以下三个领域：农场一级的农业生态系统发展;参与性植物育种;以及使农业生态方法有利可图的短食品供应链。为了发挥变革作用，合作战略需要超越科学家“转让”技术或农民“应用”科研成果的线性定型观念。只要农民-科学家联盟共同创造和交流知识，这些成果就可以改变研究系统。
Agroecology has three practical forms—a scientific discipline, an agricultural practice, and a social movement. Their integration has provided a collective-action mode for contesting the dominant agro-food regime and creating alternatives, especially through a linkage with food sovereignty. At the same time, agroecology has been recently adopted by some actors who also promote conventional agriculture. Agroecology can play different roles—either conforming to the dominant regime, or else helping to transform it—contingent on specific empowerment strategies. Tensions between “conform versus transform” roles can be identified in European agroecological research, especially in three areas: farm-level agroecosystems development; participatory plant breeding; and short food-supply chains remunerating agroecological methods. To play a transformative role, collaborative strategies need to go beyond the linear stereotype whereby scientists “transfer” technology or farmers “apply” scientific research results. To the extent that farmer–scientist alliances co-create and exchange knowledge, such gains can transform the research system.
