Abstract

ALVAREZ-SALAS, Lizeth Marelly; POLANCO-ECHEVERRY, Diana Nayibe  and  RIOS-OSORIO, Leonardo. Reflections on the Agroecology Epistemological Aspects. Cuad. Desarro. Rural [online]. 2014, vol.11, n.74, pp.55-74. ISSN 0122-1450.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.CRD11-74.raea.

This reflective theoretical article seeks to continue the discussion on an epistemological approach in which agroecology is circumscribed as a science of complexity, transdisciplinary and systemic in nature, aimed at responding to the problems of agroecosystems.To do this, the socio-ecological resilience is proposed as an object of study and the agroecosystems as a knowledge object. It is expected that the definition of these limits of action research enables the consolidation of agroecology in the field of knowledge.

Keywords : agroecology; epistemology; transdisciplinarity; complex thinking.
