    September, 2016
    South America, Brazil
    Neste ensaio defendemos que a agroecologia pode ser considerada um processo de recampesinização contemporâneo, se analisada a partir das suas premissas básicas de integração aos processos cooperativos de produção aliados ao manejo ecológico da terra. Desta forma, o agroecossistema assume lugar central que visa integrar a sustentabilidade na produção agrícola promovendo um contraponto à crescente crise agroambiental. Esta aproximação é situada no contexto das abordagens territoriais, como forma de garantir a autonomia e identidade local.
