Les écologistes ont souvent tendance à exclure l'homme des écosystèmes, ce qui est une erreur. L'homme fait partie intégrante des écosystèmes et il est actuellement pratiquement impossible au niveau de la terre de trouver un écosystème totalement étranger à l'influence proche ou lointaine de l'homme. Il ne faut pas oublier, même si l'action de l'homme n'est pas toujours bénéfique, que la transformation en agrosystème a permis hier et permet aujourd'hui à une partie de l'humanité de manger à sa faim. Une meilleure gestion permettrait de faire mieux. 7, record 1, French, - agro%C3%A9cosyst%C3%A8me
