We pose that Agroecology, which is already a hybrid science, is further overcoming disciplinary isolation and stagnation through explicit processes of interdisciplinary recombination, in what might be termed “second generation hybridization”. We refer to the intellectual contact zone of Agroecology – mainly with Cultural Geography, Historical Ecology, Archeology, Ecological Anthropology, and Ethnoecology – as “Historical Agroecology”. We discuss the following five theoretical methodological foundations of our proposal toward an Historical Agroecology: (1) regional agroecological histories, (2) agroecological landscapes as palimpsests: human-mediated disturbances and their cumulative effects, (3) alpha and beta as agrobiodiversity on the table: manifestations of human niche construction, (4) agroecological ethos as landscapes of knowledge, and (5) infrapolitics and collective action as other forms of agroecological resistance aside from social movements. We illustrate these points through case studies based on our research in peasant communities of the Maya lowlands in the Mexican states of Yucatan, Chiapas, and Campeche. We conclude by reflecting on the need to further develop historical agroecological perspectives in those regions with agricultural systems that have resulted from profound diachronic legacies that are spatially rooted in broad geographical areas.

我们认为，已经是一门混合科学的农业生态学正在通过跨学科重组的明确过程（也称为“第二代杂交”）进一步克服学科隔离和停滞。我们将农业生态学的知识联系区（主要与文化地理，历史生态学，考古学，生态人类学和民族生态学联系）称为“历史农业生态学”。我们讨论了我们对历史农业生态学提出的以下五个理论方法论基础：（1）区域农业生态学历史，（2）以农业生态景观为淡淡：人类介导的干扰及其累积影响，（3）作为农业生物多样性的α和β表：人类生态位建设的表现，（4）农业生态风气（5）除了社会运动以外，其他方面的农业生态抗争形式也包括（5）弱化政治和集体行动。我们基于对墨西哥尤卡坦州，恰帕斯州和坎佩切州玛雅低地农民社区的研究，通过案例研究说明了这些观点。最后，我们总结了在有农业系统的地区中进一步发展历史农业生态学观点的必要性，这些农业系统源于在空间上根植于广泛地理区域的深刻历时遗产。
