Agroecology is an essential innovation pathway for sustainable land use, maximising the use of ecological processes in the functioning of agroecosystems (Poux and Aubert, 2018; Food, Farming and Countryside Commission, 2020). However, there is limited social science analysis of how this agro-ecological transition is understood, practised and imagined from a farmer perspective (van der Ploeg et al, 2019). This PhD aims to fill this gap through a socio-cultural analysis of perceptions and practices on livestock and arable farms. Advocating 'mixed farming' portfolios, it considers how ruminant livestock and all-arable systems can adopt agroecology. The student will be located within the Soil Association's Farming and Land Use Policy group and will be part of an exciting new socio-economic programme related to agroecology.

生态农业是可持续土地利用的重要创新途径，最大限度地利用农业生态系统功能中的生态过程（Poux 和 Aubert，2018；粮食、农业和农村委员会，2020）。然而，对于如何从农民的角度理解、实践和想象这种农业生态转型，社会科学分析有限（van der Ploeg et al, 2019）。该博士旨在通过对牲畜和耕地的看法和实践进行社会文化分析来填补这一空白。它提倡“混合农业”组合，考虑反刍牲畜和全耕系统如何采用生态农业。该学生将加入土壤协会的农业和土地利用政策小组，并将成为与农业生态学相关的令人兴奋的新社会经济计划的一部分。
