This publication is an effort by Heifer Ecuador to substantiate the importance of small-scale family farming and agroecology in Ecuador. The five chapters comprising this book will take reads through the different puzzles making up Ecuador’s agrarian sector, from the perspective of small farmers, who grow most of our food, and of agroecological farmers in particular.
 
This study shares a vision with readers of the situation of agroecology in Ecuador, its potential, its weaknesses (largely, lack of support) and offers a series of recommendations about public policies to encourage agroecological production in this country.
