Agroecological Territorialization and Landscape in the Mario Lago Rural Settlement in the light of the Agrofloretar Project Experience

Abstract

The promotion of the territoriality of Agroecology by the Agroecological Peasant Pedagogy has the peasant’s material basis as its foundation. Thus, the concrete appearance given by the landscape produced in a geographical space indicates the constituent mediations of the territory, both material and material. The objective of this article is to utilize the concretized landscape by the Agroforestry Sytems in the Mario Lago Rural Settlement as a category of analysis of the agroecological territorialization promoted by the Agroflorestar Project. Semi-structured interviews and official file analyses were used for data collection which was analyzed through the dialectical approach. In this case, the landscape is understood as a result of the ecological, economic and social metabolism driven by the referred project.
