This study analyzes the problems of "deep reform choice", which is the goal of creating an environmentally friendly society. The conditions under which agroecology restores and maintains the natural fertility of the land and contributes to the conservation of biodiversity, conserves soil and water resources, contributes to the achievement of high yields in the long term and opposes the use of agrochemicals are clarified.
