The challenges posed by population growth and the need to ensure access to healthy and nutritious food in sufficient quantities imply the need to change the paradigm and the way of thinking about new production and consumption patterns, scalable, integrated and adaptable to the requirements of agroecological production, on the principles of sustainability. Thus, we will be able, at the same time, to quantify the effects on socio-ecological systems, in a context of consumption that puts more and more pressure on the planet’s resources. Discussions, but especially solutions, on sustainability and innovation in agriculture are urgent, due to the need to ensure the source of basic foodstuffs and to meet primary food needs, as well as consumer access to them. Ensuring the need for food for a growing population must be based on maintaining productive ecosystems (in this case land) and sustainable production systems, without affecting the evolution and even the existence of upcoming generations, by ensuring a responsible and sustainable future. The main purpose of this scientific paper is to promote agroecology and encourage innovation, by promoting organic farming, in conjunction with sustaining steady economic growth, so necessary for the population’s access to nutritious and sufficient food, with direct effects on a healthy and active life.
