With this intention a symposium was organized on \"the ecological implications of contemporary agriculture\". Five major groups of problems were discussed, related to major elements of the system, each corresponding to a session of the symposium: \u003cp\u003e- the soil and its life;\u003cbr\u003e - the plants, especially the unwanted ones;\u003cbr\u003e - the fauna, with emphasis on the control of pests;\u003cbr\u003e - the nutrient cycles and nutrient budgets (the driving force);\u003cbr\u003e - the connecting elements in the rural landscape, related as they are with lotting out.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor each subject (session) two invited papers were presented in combination with a varying number of posters. All these papers were encompassed by the opening and closing lectures, which sketch the societal framework within which a more ecological approach of agriculture has to be worked out.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this overview the different elements are rearranged and assessed according to four major groups of problems: lotting out, nutrient management, soil treatment, and weed and arthropod control. It is concluded with some comments on the possibilities to realize more ecological approaches in the framework of farming-practice and EC-politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003eH.
