Construcción territorial de agroecologías situadas: El Maestro Pueblo en Sanare, estado Lara-Venezuela

Objective: Analyze the People as Teacher as a collective subject, and how it contributes to the territorial construction of agroecologies in the experience of La Alianza Lara State, Venezuela. Methodology: The analysis is assumed from the historical-cultural context and under the method of systematization of experiences. Results: We find that this peasant experience enriches agroecological perspectives by its organizational capacity, where a collective subject arises out of awareness and training, capable of “infiltrating” conventional curricula and thus able to promote an educational network, influencing the national agroecological movement. Limitations: It is not an easily reproducible model due to its situated character. Conclusions: We find that the collective subject favors the processes of territorialization of agroecology, because it allows not only the consolidation of material territories in the productive processes, but also the symbolic ones, with the revaluation of peasant senses, which are affirmed in educational dynamics rooted in collective interests.
