Éducation Rurale et pédagogie peasant agroécologique: Les contribution de La Vía Campesina et CLOC

Abstract

We are witnessing a fierce contemporary territorial dispute between various expressions of capital and social movements such as La Via Campesina (LVC) and the Latin American Coordination of Rural Organizations (CLOC). In this dispute, agroecology emerges as a productive matrix and political project that confronts capital in the countryside, built from a politicized perspective and by a historical subject. In this article, we analyze the conception of agroecological education of LVC/CLOC in its political dimension and pedagogical praxis, which could be called Agroecological Peasant Pedagogy. We address the themes of territories in dispute and agroecology, and the theoretical and political roles of the epistemes that emerge from these experiences in terms of educational projects and political praxis.
