Description
Anna-Camilla Moonen is an agroecologist focusing her research on the development and promotion of sustainable cropping systems following a landscape agronomy approach and applying agroecological principles. She applies these principles to vegetation management in and around cropped fields with the objective to maximize synergies between vegetation and beneficial organisms to foster ecosystem service provisioning. Examples are optimization of intercropping and cover crops or living mulches, and semi-natural habitat management to optimize floral resource provisioning for pollinators and natural predators. Following the principles of agroecology, her research is mostly based on participatory approaches involving farmers with the aim of supporting socially just and economically viable systems besides providing environmentally sustainable solutions.
