LA TRANSITION AGROECOLOGIQUE COMME UNE INNOVATION SOCIO-TERRITORIALE
Résumé
The agroecological transition of the agricultural systems of production is a complex process which implies technical and social changes. Taking for example the Semi-arid Brazilian region, and more particularly the region of Agreste of Paraiba, a Borborema, we analyze the trajectory of agroecological transition, that begun more than 20 years ago, from theories of the social and territorial innovation. The agroecological transition led in fact to a social change intended to satisfy the basic human needs for the most weakened populations. It implied processes of learning, transformations of the social relations and consolidation of the social networks as well as a modification of conditions of governance of the development and regions, to support social integration and political insertion of the peasants. Innovations are anchored in the territory, understood like a space of construction of a collective identity, of debate and institutionalization of the agroecological transition processes. Consequently, it implies a unit of technical, social and institutional innovations. To support these innovations, a new reading of the socio-productive practices and experiments carried out in these three dimensions is necessary. We insist thus on the fact that the agroecological transition is not summarized with changes of the technical standards.
