Trophobiosis (from Greek trophikos = nourishment + biosis = life) is a symbiotic association between organisms where food is obtained or provided. The provider of food in the association is referred to as a trophobiont. The term is also used for a theory of pest resurgence on crops propounded by Francis Chaboussou. Chaboussou was an agronomist at the French National Institute of Agricultural Research, and he published Healthy Crops: A New Agricultural Revolution in 1985.

- Trophobiosis (from Greek trophikos = nourishment + biosis = life) is a symbiotic association between organisms where food is obtained or provided. The provider of food in the association is referred to as a trophobiont. The term is also used for a theory of pest resurgence on crops propounded by Francis Chaboussou. Chaboussou was an agronomist at the French National Institute of Agricultural Research, and he published Healthy Crops: A New Agricultural Revolution in 1985. The essence of Chaboussou's trophobiosis theory is that the application of pesticides to crops makes those crops more susceptible to pest attack, and as a consequence pesticide-based farming creates a cycle of increasing dependence on pesticides.
