We've collected a list of books, geared primarily at folks in North America, which might be helpful in developing a more comprehensive understanding of agroecology from a beginner's perspective, although knowledgeable folks will likely find some great guidance in this list as well!\n\nWhat you'll likely notice about these books is that they're not particularly prescriptive. These books tend to be a blend of philosophy, ecology, and anthropology, and each tends to lend itself more to one of these three categories, which is a good way to organize your interests and research.\n\nI would also recommend our own piece on our substack <a href=\"https:\/\/poorprolesalmanac.substack.com\/p\/the-foundations-of-agroecology\">\"The Foundations of Agroecology\"<\/a>, which helps outline our own perspective on agroecology, and is a good starting point for the subject.\n\n<strong>Philosophy<\/strong>\nTom Wessels \"The Myth of Progress\"\nRosset, Peter, and Miguel A.
