Construction of Knowledge Agroecological: questioning the process.

Abstract

The notion of Construction of Agro-ecological Knowledge-CCA began to be used simultaneously by a group of writers who produce in an agro ecological perspective, but is characterized as a concept in preparation not having his widely detailed elements. The aim was to discuss precisely what constitutes the CCA process seeking to expand their understanding. This research is placed within the field of Agroecology being theoretically supported by Actor-Oriented Perspective (LONG, 2001). The method can be described as a qualitative research literature that speaks to the findings of the author's doctoral thesis. The main elements of CCA discussed in the text are: a contemporary view of science, the immersion process in social relations, the construction of social projects of the actors, the dialogue of knowledge, the ecological principles of agriculture, social embeddedness of markets, participatory approach, agroecological transition and participation. At the conclusion it is allocated one concept proposal for the CCA process aiming a collaboration to build the agro-ecological science.
