Agro ecology is the basis for an alternative sustainable agricultural approach that incorporates the economic, environmental and social dimensions. This approach is rooted within the broader forms of social, political and economic forms of resistance. Traditional and local knowledge of farmers are central to implement sustainable agriculture. The chemical industrial model of agriculture, which is export driven, actively using agro chemicals, promotes the use of genetically modified organisms and agro fuels that impacts negatively on the health, environment and land based livelihood of small scale farmers and farm workers. This corporate profit driven model of agriculture further entrenches the neo liberal onslaught. Agro ecological farming is a direct alternative to the dominant corporate model of agriculture. SPP actively promotes and support this approach as an alternative.
