The Perfecto Agroecology Lab is interested in biological diversity in managed ecosystems and the contributions of biodiversity to rural livelihoods. Research focuses on the effects of agricultural intensification and its impact on biodiversity and well as the roles and ecological functions of biodiversity in diverse farming systems. More general interest is related to sustainable agriculture, the role of the agroecological matrix in biodiversity conservation in Latin America as well as the contributions of agroecology to biodiversity conservation to rural livelihoods and food sovereignty.
