Contribuições ao estudo da transição agroecológica no assentamento Santana-CE

Abstract

In Agroecology allied to the trajectory of peasant resistance and struggle through social movements came to call attention as organizational ways to overcome the aggravation of the social and ecological problems of the countryside. The objective of this research was to analyze the process of agroecological transition based on Agroecological experiences and practices, lived and built by the peasant farmers of the Santana Settlement, in Monsenhor Tabosa-CE. The methodology used included bibliographical review and fieldwork, during which visits were made to the production units. Interviews were conducted with peasants and agricultural technicians involved. It has been found that agroecological techniques are contributing to soil recovery and are more efficient than conventional practices during drought periods. It was found that agroecological experiments induce diversification of production. This reflects on the improvement of food and promotes the food sovereignty of the peasant families of Santana.
