Project description

This research analyzes the transformative potential of agroecology in Argentina, challenging the prevailing theoretical approaches by situating agroecology within a socio-historical context. The study employs qualitative methods such as semi-structured interviews and participant observation. It is conducted in close collaboration with the National Institute of Agrarian Technology (INTA) and the Peasant Movement of Santiago del Estero (MOCASE).
