Abstract

It comprises a multidisciplinary theoretical and methodological approach aimed at ecological, social, economic, cultural, political and ethical sustainability for the production of healthy foods. The dialogues that Agroecology proposes range from farmers' knowledge about plants, about different types of soil, ecological processes, knowledge about the environment in general, all of this knowledge is important to propose a socio-environmental dynamic of society.
