For Agroecology to establish itself as a science, there must be pillars for the construction of
a pedagogical environment; one of the great challenges of Agroecology courses in the country.
Therefore, it was fundamental to develop an Area of action for students, aiming to value
and to potentiate pedagogical intentions in their various purposes and achievements. For this
purpose, the Degraded Areas Recovery Workshop (RAD) was offered at the Agroecological
Reference Unit (URA) of the Field Education and Agroecology Movement (MECA). The MECA
began in 2009 and has always been conducted through the self-managed organization. Currently,
the movement relies on the accumulation of experiences in agroecological research of
a social and political nature. The strategic premise of the Movement is to work not only in the
University but also in the settlements and peasant communities of the Brejo region of Paraiba
to sow the unveiling and expansion of Agroecology as a science.
