Abstract

Agroecology may be conceived as environmental knowledge in the field of complexity, requiring the interdisciplinary approach as a methodology for the interpretation of the agrarian phenomenon and its territories. This implies, first, the definition of analytical categories that enable it to consider the intelligibility of its universe of research - the agroecosystem, in terms of cognitive integration of physical, biological and antroposocial dimensions.These categories, complementary and interdependent, are summarized in seven principles that guide the complex cognitivies processes and with which they seek to discuss the theoretical and methodological reference of agroecology to show cognitive junctures between the current proposals for this knowledge with the paradigm of complexity.
