The ‘Greatest Hits’ is an ongoing project to identify and make available some of the most important literature related to ecoagriculture. While by no means comprehensive, the Ecoagriculture Greatest Hits is growing resource for researchers and innovators alike, and we hope that you will find it a useful starting point in your exploration. This list will be in a constant state of revision and we would very much appreciate any suggestions or comments sent to Seth Shames at sshames@ecoagriculture.org.
