The growing global demand for food has driven the expansion of agriculture, increasing the prevalence of large-scale monocultures. This expansion has led to ineffective soil management and its rapid degradation. Simultaneously, abiotic factors associated with climate change, such as rising temperatures and reduced precipitation, have significantly altered the climatic variability of ecosystems. In response to these consecuences, the implementation of agroecological practices such as minimum tillage, the use of green manures, crop diversification, agroforestry, and the conservation of water and soil, along with the protection of native species, emerges as an effective strategy to mitigate the impacts of climate change. In this regard, a meticulous review of scientific literature published between 2010 and 2023, in English and Spanish, from platforms such as Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and ResearchGate was conducted. The main topics included climate change, sustainability, and agroecological practices. The findings highlighted that agroecological practices not only balance the environment but also improve conditions for the growth of forage species, vital to agricultural systems. By promoting a favorable environment, these practices enhance the resilience of ecosystems, improving plant biodiversity, the microbiome, soil fertility, and creating optimal microclimates for non-invasive species that facilitate nutrient recycling and the stability of the biosphere.
