paradigma, ressignificação, semânticaAbstract
The topics concerning to Agroecology are many, such as agricultural practice and social movements. Its concept is therefore polysemous, making its meanings multiple, which raises an important question: what is Agroecology as a science? This research, prepared with hemerographic sources and oral interviews seeks to demonstrate the advent and development of Agroecology in Brazil, as a science. It is sought to indicate how this historical process absorbed ideas and translated them into scientific research, demonstrating also whether these ideas impacted on laws and agricultural practices based on agroecological concepts. In addition, it is presented a conceptual review discussion about what science is, and thus we seek to understand how agroecology as a Science fits into these parameters.
