Análisis de los desafíos metodológicos para la difusión de prácticas agroecológicas en Chile y Brasil, a la luz de la metodología de campesino a campesino

Abstract

Chile and Brazil have a common Latin American rural context in the sense of dominant social imaginaries in the countryside and agriculture. Countries inherited from marked hierarchies, the dominant history has been able to make invisible the knowledge and wisdom of traditional communities, a process that Paulo Freire called “Banking Education”, and that we can see expressed in the different spheres of life. Given this need to recognize knowledge and disseminate it, a pedagogical process is created and propagated, which is the “Peasant to Peasant” methodology. This practical and political exercise, supported by and for peasant organizations, seeks to rescue the practices and knowledge of its members, strengthen mechanisms for the dissemination of agroecology, and politicize the life of the communities to transform their reality. In this research, we will dialogue with two Latin American organization, one in Tirúa, Wallmapu, Chile and another in Piraí, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, aboutthe possibilities that the methodology gives us when working for an agroecological transition.
