Abstract: Over the last century we have faced a substantial increase in agricultural productivity caused by industrialized agriculture often with the negative environmental implications due to the use of pesticides, fertilizer, soil degradation, realise of greenhouse gases etc. Thus, the need of sustainable and resilient agriculture providing sufficient food and resources has been realized and, various concepts such as sustainable intensification, regeneration agriculture, organic agriculture and more have been developed and implemented. Within the last years, agroecology has received attention providing a holistic approach to a sustainable and resilient agriculture with the goal to put ecological processes at the centre by considering the agroecology as transdisciplinary concept that comprises ecological, social and economic dimensions of the agri-food systems. Within the approach of agroecology as a combination of scientific disciplines, an applied management practice, and a social movement we explore the potential role and contribution of plant phenotyping as a tool contributing to the advancement in breeding agricultural management practices and as such are essential for agroecological transition. We provide examples of research activities and recently funded projects in the field of agroecology and discuss future challenges, which the phenotyping community need to address with respect to technologies development, data management, modelling and the interaction with the agri-food system stakeholders.
