Agroecologists do not always agree about what agroecology is or should be in the long-term. Different definitions of the term agroecology can be distinguished largely by the specificity with which one defines the term "ecology," as well as the term's potential political connotations. Definitions of agroecology, therefore, may be first grouped according to the specific contexts within which they situate agriculture. Agroecology is defined as "the study of the relation of agricultural crops and environment." This definition refers to the "- ecology" part of "agroecology" narrowly as the natural environment. Following this definition, an agroecologist would study agriculture's various relationships with soil health, water quality, air quality, meso and microfauna, surrounding flora, environmental toxins, and other envimornental contexts. A more common definition of the word can be taken from Dalgaard et al., who refer to agroecology as the study of the interactions between plants, animals, humans and the environment within agricultural systems. Consequently, agroecology is inherently multidisciplinary, including factors from agronomy, ecology, sociology, economics and related disciplines, in this case, the '- ecology" portion of "agroecology is defined broadly to include social, cultural, and economic contexts as well. in the global south, the term offer carries overtly political connotations. Such political definitions of the term usually ascribe to it the goals of the social and economic justice; special attention, in this case, is ofter paid to the traditional farming knowledge of indigenous populations. North American and European uses of the terms sometimes avoid the inclusion of such overtly political goals. In this cases, agroecology is seen more strictly as a scientific dicipline with less specific social goals.
