Description
The investigation of the relationship between ecology and sociology, in a sustainable agricultural matrix, provides possible complete answers to the problems generated by the respect of the environment and building a favourable environmental matrix. The interdisciplinary perspective imposes the investigation of the following dimensions in sociological terms: environmental, economic and social processes induced by land use or land use changes, spatial interactions of processes and driving forces in anthropogenic landscapes.
The specific trends of ecological farming are largely influenced by the behavioural factors, by the cultural and social capital of farmers involved in this type of farming activity.
