Summary : Agroecology promotes health and food
security as it is based on sustainable assumptions of production, rational use
of the environment and preservation of agrobiodiversity, among others. The
objective of the article is to reflect on the interfaces of agroecology with
the rural environment, notably in the light of health promotion and food
security. Methodologically, it is a qualitative research, with a
bibliographical approach and uses a literature review to bring reflections on
the problem, in the context of public health. A bibliographic review was
carried out in the databases of Science Direct and Google Scholar
articles. The results point to the relevance of agroecology and the close
relationships between the topics addressed.
