It goes without saying that agriculture is a form of
colonisation of nature by society. In the course of history the
articulation of natural and societal features gave rise to a wide
variety of agrosystems within the boundaries of Europe which were
embedded in supra-regional political and economic contexts at least
from the High Middle Ages onwards. By following an integrative
approach, this volume defines agrosystems as production systems
based on the ecological and socioeconomic relations involved in the
reproduction of rural societies at multiple levels. The authors
explore the articulation of natural and societal factors through
the prism of labour relations. The structural and practical
organization of labour is seen as the crucial link between rural
production and reproduction. Accordingly, the contributions focus
on the rural household as the basic unit of production and
reproduction in different temporal and spatial contexts. Therefore,
the question arises if the changes in ecosystems and social systems
have so fundamentally altered European agriculture up to now that
peasant family farming will disappear (if it is no longer sustained
by state intervention).
