可持续农业生态系统的设计对于应对生物多样性丧失和全球变化等当代环境挑战至关重要。生态知识，虽然预计是这样的努力的一个重要组成部分，迄今为止主要是在解决问题的范式下使用。应用最新的设计理论，突出创新设计和解决问题之间的差异，我们评估了在农业生态系统设计中使用生态知识的潜力，在三个对比的法国案例研究中，代表了全球农业集约化。在所有情况下，设计方法产生了未经探索的农业生态系统配置和管理方法。该分析强调，生态科学对于设计可持续的社会生态系统至关重要，因为它通过确定要维护的关键生态特性来确定设计过程的方向，同时开放利益相关者可以探索的管理选项范围。合成与应用。以生态知识为基础的农业生态系统的前瞻性设计方法可能是规划和变革的关键：它们使各种利益攸关方能够为制定解决方案作出贡献，从而加强他们的主人翁感和责任感。与生态研究中心密切相关的支持参与式设计过程的可持续结构，有可能成为可持续社会生态系统创新的新基石。
The design of sustainable agroecosystems is crucial to meet contemporary environmental challenges such as biodiversity loss and global change. Ecological knowledge, although expected to be an important component of such an endeavour, is to date mainly used under a problem‐solving paradigm. Applying recent design theories, which highlight the differences between innovative design and problem solving, we assess the potential of using ecological knowledge in agroecosystem design in three contrasted French case studies representative of agricultural intensification world‐wide. In all cases, a design approach generated unexplored agroecosystem configurations and management alternatives. This analysis highlights that ecological science is critical for designing sustainable social‐ecological systems, because it orients the design process by identifying key ecological properties to maintain, while opening the range of management options stakeholders can explore. Synthesis and applications. Participatory design approaches of agroecosystems based on ecological knowledge might be key for planning and change: they allow a diversity of stakeholders to contribute to building solutions, thereby strengthening their sense of ownership and responsibility. Infrastructures in support of participatory design processes, set up in close relation to ecological research centres, have the potential to become new cornerstones of innovation for sustainable social‐ecological systems.
