Abstract
In the last years, agroecology has gained prominence as one of the innovative approaches that could positively contribute to achieving sustainable food systems. As a transdisciplinary science, agroecology could benefit from the contribution of the economic toolbox. This study aims to give an overview of how the agricultural economics discipline have contributed to this field of study. A scoping review was conducted by using the PRISMA methodology and its extensions for scoping reviews. After the identification, screening and selection stages, a total of 196 papers were included in our review, both from Scopus and Web of Sciences databases, according to eligibility criteria. The selected body of literature provides an overview of the key topics investigated, the main methodological approaches applied, and the main results achieved by scholars.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
