Biological control agro-ecology
Research Interests
Our research group uses the concepts of agroecology to obtain a deep understanding of the nature of agroecosystems and the principles by which they function. Throughout our research and writings we have aided in the emergence of agroecology as the discipline that provides the basic ecological principles for how to study, design, and manage sustainable agroecosystems that are both productive and natural resource conserving, and that are also culturally-sensitive, socially-just and economically viable. In particular, our research has focused on the ways in which biodiversity can contribute to the design of pest-stable agroecosystems. Several of our studies concentrate on elucidating the effects of intercropping, covercropping, weed management, and crop-field border vegetation manipulation on pest population density and damage and on the mechanisms enhancing biological control in diversified systems.
Our research has also extended into Latin America where the enhancement of biodiversity in agriculture can help the great mass of resource-poor farmers to achieve year-round food self-sufficiency, reduce their reliance on chemical inputs and develop agroecosystems that rebuild the production capacities of their small land holdings. Our approach has consisted of devising integrated farming systems emphasizing soil and water conservation, natural crop protection, and achievement of soil fertility and stable yields through integration of trees, animals, and crops. Much of this work is conducted through inter-institutional partnerships with NGOs, International Research Centers and Universities including networks such as SANE, ANGOC and CLADES, as well as international organizations such as UNDP and the CGIAR.
Understanding the ecological mechanisms underlying the sustainability of traditional vineyards intercropped with olives in Tuscany, Italy
The Altieri Lab at UC Berkeley
Advances in Vineyard Agroecology: http://agroecology.berkeley.edu/
Current Projects
Our laboratory is involved in several field projects in California where we are testing ideas of landscape ecology applied to agriculture such as the use of biological corridors in pest management. The idea is to explore whether corridors can break the nature of monocultures by serving as a conduit for the dispersion of natural enemies within the field thus enhancing their impact on pest populations. The effects of summer cover crops on insect pest populations (grape leafhoppers, thrips and sharpshooters) and associated natural enemies is also being examined in vineyards. Of special interest is to determine whether timing mowing of cover crops in alternate rows can force movement of beneficials to adjacent vines to exert greater pest suppression.
Our group is also engaged in collaborative work with a number of Universities, NGOs and research centers in Africa, Asia and Latin America promoting research, training and capacity building in agroecology and sustainable agriculture.

Perennial food forests is what people should be planting along with Jenny + Miguel's insight or one similar for local biome, to lay out the land + listen to what it speaks for it's potential, etc.
for enough foraging for ecosystem to sustain, people + wildlife. to choose variety + what you like. vs. foraging only what folks used to. plus keeps coming vs. planting new each year.
This starts with a`way folks coming together, do overview of shared resources to then add what is zoned (meaning good folks locally get together to make a guideline that works)to change, etc. + or clean up with others wasteful inefficiencies, in a `tapering transition.. to truly plug into building ecosystems to support biome, etc. + even if non local, passing by, good to add hands on part time + exchange, then to take with you ideals to fine tune with the next ecosystem.
This way we gain local knowledge, ex;
urban + residential soils have higher lead in 1 to 2 inches then native soils. unless landscaped or excavated for building. from 1910 to 1950 they sprayed lead-arsenate in fruit + nut orchards. so these sites elevated. or from lead in gasoline or paints. it can stick to skin + clothing, also in airborne soil dust.
Or when one puts soup on oil + it disappears in seawater, making you believe it is all gone. WRONG! did ya know when we use soap to disburse fuel on sea water, it breaks into tiny balls that go down + pollute marine life, then it ends up back up. so no soap is to be used in sea water here.
Make happy play somewhere in the dirt + water for all the little ones, a child gains most by this at a young age??
bare soil areas carry highest risk of lead exposure. so no good near roads or even to plant adjacent to house, shed or structure. you can collect soil for lead content, fee? especially houses built before 1960. painted a lot. or when animals dig can bring soil/contaminated dust on them + transfer to those that pet them.
vegs don't absorb but get dust on them so wash in water with vinegar 1 percent or roots if lead in soil. they say take off outer leaf + peel roots if think lead. cover bare ground helps, another reason for ER triaging the environment + quickly add perennials, those that don't require frequent tilling. or in garden - plant transplants then mulch right away. you can manage by testing + add supplements to soil. but if contaminated cannot change - must remove soil, say some. Others have had luck as in after Katrina hurricane in New Orleans, + New York, US, using mycelium/mushroom tea. can make lead free tested for suitable use.
this changed my ideal of planting food in city vacant lots, had to rethink with locals with sensitivity + how tos..
this makes sprouting at home all the more fun to appreciate these nice seeds that where nurtured for sprouting, from good natural small farms. Or until small plots reborn.
t`s nice to sprout mung 1 day later then others if mix with variety or separately, unless you know secret to make them big. i`ve tried different ways with no luck getting them big. the small fresh early is very good. the minute they get bigger the root end is tiny + rots. the other sprouting seeds that germinate late, i put in dirt + they come out really tasty. nice + green, then i rinse off dirt + eat. very healthy plants. may like this better then rinsing + eating earlier, experiment. new mung shoots a few days + soaked sunflower with lime/lemon ASAP are a true treat with the greens grown in dirt.
Fun learning together!

Did you know that you can have fresh salad year-round, delicious fruit that is in season through the winter, and popular beverages such as green tea all from your own backyard?
There are thousands of plants that are suited to grow in sustainable edible forest gardens in the Pacific Northwest. Increased agro-biodiversity and sustainable cultivation practices can lead to improved human health and security.
By increasing food production where you live, especially in the form of an edible forest garden, you can shift your ecological impact from negative towards positive. Forest gardens provide food for people and wildlife. Even the smallest garden can provide surprising amounts of food in addition to the beauty and enjoyment they offer.
The following list is a sampling of some of the plants available for Pacific Northwest gardeners. A list of resources is included to encourage further investigation. Do not consume plants until you know which part to eat and how to prepare them. Even common plants such as rhubarb and potatoes have poisonous leaves.
