Dialoguicity in agroecological rural extension processes: histories and ruptures between university extensionists and wine producers of the coast of Berisso (2000-2008)

The Faculty of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences approached the wine producers of the coast of Berisso in 1999 with the proposal to constitute a group for its recovery. The original technical proposal was based on working from the agroecological paradigm that rescues the traditional knowledge, base of the sustainability of these productive systems. After nine years of continuity of projects with an agroecological approach, the experience was analyzed from the vision of wine producers and extensionists. The intervention is studied from complementary theoretical perspectives: agroecology that incorporates forms of collective social action which present alternatives to the current model of industrial management of natural resources through proposals arising from the endogenous community potential (Sevilla Guzman) and the Latin American Communication / education perspective (Paulo Freire, Jorge Huergo). The methodological strategy is the Case Study, based on data produced on primary information, gathered through qualitative techniques, during nine years of co-construction (wine producersuniversity), between 2000 and 2008. In 2017 a focus group was incorporated with winemakers and technicians, in order to evaluate the impact of the agroecological questions that arose from the Faculty. This research has allowed us to reflect on the agroecological practices of winemakers, their reaffirmations and transformations; on the practices of university extensionists within a dialogical approach. There were transformations of reality at the level of the "Locus of agroecological knowledge". The strengthening of traditional knowledge generated greater argumentation in all the vintners. The exogenous "agroecological" innovations were resisted in a majority group of vintners and identification was not achieved. This statement is linked to the hegemonic issues of extension systems, whether they are industrial or agroecological production, which are inclined to change their daily practices by others, which do not arise from the joint pronouncement of men, but usually assimilate to "donations from the extension agents".

La Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias y Forestales se acercó a los productores de vino de la costa de Berisso en 1999 con la propuesta de constituir un grupo para su recuperación. La propuesta técnica original se basó en trabajar desde el paradigma agroecológico que rescata el conocimiento tradicional, base de la sustentabilidad de estos sistemas productivos. Luego de nueve años de continuidad de proyectos con enfoque agroecológico, se analizó la experiencia desde la visión de los viñateros y extensionistas participantes. La intervención es estudiada a partir de perspectivas teóricas complementarias: la agroecología que incorpora las formas de acción social colectiva que presentan alternativas al actual modelo de manejo industrial de los recursos naturales mediante propuestas surgidas del potencial endógeno comunitario (Sevilla Guzman) y la perspectiva latinoamericana de comunicación / educación (Paulo Freire; Jorge Huergo). La estrategia metodológica es el Estudio de Caso, en base a datos producidos de información primaria, recolectada a través de técnicas cualitativas, a lo largo de nueve años de co-construcción (viñateros- universidad), entre 2000 y 2008. Se incorporó también un grupo focal con viñateros y técnicos en 2017, a fin de evaluar el impacto de las interpelaciones agroecológicas que surgieron desde la Facultad. Esta investigación ha permitido reflexionar sobre las prácticas agroecológicas de los viñateros, sus reafirmaciones y transformaciones; sobre las prácticas de los extensionistas universitarios dentro de un enfoque dialógico. Se dieron transformaciones de la realidad a nivel del “Locus de conocimiento agroecológico”. El fortalecimiento de los conocimientos tradicionales generó mayor argumentación en todos los viñateros. Las innovaciones “agroecológicas” exógenas fueron resistidas en un grupo mayoritario de viñateros y no se logró la identificación. Esta afirmación se vincula con los planteos hegemónicos de los sistemas de extensión, ya sea se traten de producción industrial o agroecológica, que se inclinan al cambio de sus prácticas cotidianas por otras, que no surgen del pronunciamiento conjunto de los hombres, sino que suelen asimilarse a “donaciones de los extensionistas” Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias y Forestales de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata 2018-11-06 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares Peer reviewed article application/pdf https://revistas.unlp.edu.ar/revagro/article/view/6145 Journal of the Agronomy College; Vol. 116 No. 3 (2017): Edición Especial: "50 aniversario de la formación en Extensión Rural" Revista de la Facultad de Agronomía; Vol. 116 Núm. 3 (2017): Edición Especial: "50 aniversario de la formación en Extensión Rural" Journal de la Faculté d'Agronomie; Vol. 116 No. 3 (2017): Edición Especial: "50 aniversario de la formación en Extensión Rural" Revista da Faculdade de Agronomia; v. 116 n. 3 (2017): Edición Especial: "50 aniversario de la formación en Extensión Rural" 1669-9513 0041-8676 spa https://revistas.unlp.edu.ar/revagro/article/view/6145/5096 Derechos de autor 2018 Irene Velarde, Mariana Edith Marasas
