Rural Youth and Agroecology: an Indispensable Dialogue

Abstract

Arguments from different areas of knowledge (Economics, Philosophy, Sociology, among others) point to a civilization crisis experienced by humanity in our day. In order to solve this crisis, it is necessary to mobilize different social and political actors, many of them invisibility by the model of current capitalist societies. Among these subjects are the rural youths, who have sought in agroecology (as science, practice and movement) contributions to build more harmonious relations between societies and nature. It is from a set of experiences that brings together the dialogue between rural youth and agroecology that deals with this article, presenting, finally, some challenges, but affirming that the dialogue is ongoing but will never be unidimensional, without recognizing the specificities of this collective subject (Social and political), who are very willing to produce in the Brazilian countryside, building struggles and squandering rebellion.
