  • Agroecology is largely and increasingly embraced by the scientific community.

    “Agroecology is largely and increasingly embraced by the scientific community [4,5,9,10] and also by farmers themselves to meet more resilience and autonomy [11].”

    From How Are Landscapes under Agroecological Transition Perceived and Appreciated? A Belgian Case Study (2020) · cites this paper as [4]

    Section 6, “Enhancing agrobiodiversity to reduce vulnerability” (page not provided), describes a vast scientific literature on diversified cropping systems and says many entomologists and plant pathologists recognize their benefits. This supports scientific engagement with agroecological practices, but the paper does not establish that agroecology is largely embraced by the scientific community or that such embrace is increasing. (LLM, conf=0.78)

  • Agroecology is being promoted as a promising concept.

    “In response to these concerns, agroecology is being promoted as a promising concept [3,4].”
  • By combining all of these agro-ecological practices, these farms respond to the definition of 'agroecological farming systems'.

    “By combining all of these agro-ecological practices, we believe that these farms respond to the definition of 'agroecological farming systems' [4,5,10].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
