《农业生态学(双语)》是**双语教学示范课程的配套教材，也是“（中国）福建农林大学-（加拿大）新斯科舍农学院‘2+2’本科教学合作项目”的成果之一。《农业生态学(双语)》紧紧围绕“农业是把太阳光转变成人们健康、幸福生活的科学、艺术、政治学和社会学”这一对“农业”的新理解，把“农业生态学”定义为农学与生态学联姻的学科和实现农业生态系统可持续管理的应用科学。主要介绍农业生态学的学科内涵、农业生态系统的基本过程及其人为问题、可持续农业生态系统的构建与管理等内容，并包括该课程系列实践教学指导书。
《农业生态学(双语)》视角独特，图文并茂，适合于高等农林院校同名课程的双语教学用书，也可作为农业院校和科研院所研究生考试的参考书。
