Abstract

It is proposed a agronomic analytical model, Autonomy-Heteronomy, for description and analysis of agricultural systems. Autonomous systems are characterized by preferential use of local resources and strategies to meet local or regional needs. They are systems of low entropy and located in the most advanced stages of the ecological succession. The heteronomous systems are characterized by preferential use of global resources and preferential orientation to commodification. They are high entropy systems and located in the earliest stages of succession.
