Agroecological resilience refers to the capacity of agroecosystems to maintain, recover, and reorganize their ecological functions, productivity, and structural characteristics in response to environmental, biological, and socioeconomic disturbances. The concept integrates ecological resilience principles with agroecological approaches by emphasizing the interactions among biodiversity, ecosystem processes, agricultural practices, and human management within farming systems ^[1]. Agroecological resilience encompasses the ability of agricultural systems to absorb disturbances, adapt to changing conditions, and sustain essential ecosystem functions while maintaining agricultural production over time ^[2]. Unlike resilience concepts focused primarily on short-term production stability or economic outcomes, agroecological resilience emphasizes the dynamic relationships between ecological integrity, resource management, and social–ecological interactions that influence the long-term functioning of agricultural systems ^[3]. It includes the capacity of agroecosystems to utilize biological diversity, adaptive management strategies, and ecological processes to respond to climatic variability, resource constraints, and other forms of environmental change ^[4].
