Critical Latin American agroecology as a regionalism from below
Latin America has long been a hot bed for social movement organization and innovation, and for dialogue among different types of knowledge (‘dialogo de saberes’). This has included dialog between academic knowledges framed by Western science, popular and ancestral peoples knowledges and wisdoms, and so-called critical thought from global and Latin American revolutionary traditions. From these conditions, we postulate that a specifically Latin Ame…
Puede el Estado hacer de la agroecología un fenómeno masivo? Experiencias de políticas públicas en América Latina
En este artículo discutimos la experiencia de las políticas a favor de la agroecología implementadas en Cuba y en los países latinoamericanos que dieron un giro a la izquierda en los primeros años del siglo XXI y que en la actualidad enfrentan un resurgimiento de las fuerzas políticas de derecha. Aunque los casos de estudio enseñan que es posible abrir espacios y momentos de ruptura en los regímenes de poder, existe un riesgo cuando los esfuerzos…
Agroecología y La Vía Campesina II. Las escuelas campesinas de agroecología y la formación de un sujeto sociohistórico y político
La masificación o escalamiento de la agroecología campesina y la construcción de la soberanía alimentaria requieren transformaciones profundas, que solo un sujeto político colectivo, crítico y consciente de sí mismo puede lograr. El movimiento campesino global La Vía Campesina (LVC), en su expresión en América Latina, la Coordinadora Latinoamericana de Organizaciones del Campo (CLOC), emplea la formación política y agroecológica como un dispositi…
Teaching the territory
The Long Road
Across the globe, the countryside faces the “generation problem”: Who will grow food when the current generation of aging small farmers and peasants disappears? A combination of objective and subjective factors effectively discourages young people from assuming the continuity of peasant and family farming, especially in countries that have experienced significant neoliberal dismantling of rural infrastructure and education. Rural social movements…
Mediated territoriality
The Spanish word formación can be translated as 'training' or 'education', but Latin American social movements use it as inspired by Che Guevara's notion of 'molding' the values of the new woman and new man for egalitarian, cooperative social relations in the construction of a 'new society'. This contribution presents findings on the dialectical linkages between the formación processes led by the Rural Workers' Association (ATC) and the gradual t…
Popular Education in the Ends and Means of Empowerment
Empowerment holds a special appeal for organizations and funders involved in rural development, but its meaning and long-term usefulness for target communities remain unresolved theoretically and inconsistent in practice. This article proposes that empowerment be rooted in the daily language and life experiences of target communities if it is to realize its potential significance as an ongoing, individual and shared process that reaches beyond th…

Who ́s Who? Power Mapping, Decision Making and Development Concerns in an Indigenous Community of Oaxaca, Mexico
This paper examines how power is understood and exercised by actors involved in local decision making, by drawing on an experience in participatory power mapping in an indigenous community of Oaxaca, Mexico. Research was carried out during 2003-2007 by coupling a participatory action research approach and ethnographic methods to focus on the usos y costumbres system (U and C or local customary law) as the most important framework ensuring social …
