The aim of this paper is to contribute to a theoretical and methodological platform for multidisciplinary research on multifunctional farming. With the notions of polyocular cognition and polyocular communication we introduce a second order, interdisciplinary communication process that can meet the challenge of creating a shared view on multifunctional farming by extending a multidimensional space of understanding. Polyocular communication must be based on other rules than the rules of the involved disciplines. This perspectivist approach to the understanding of science is a suggestion for how to lay a foundation for constructivist approaches to science.
