From the poison to the butterflies of the field: study of agroecological knowledge in land reform settlements.

The research was conducted in two rural settlements in the Araraquara region, that were Monte Alegre and Bela Vista do Chibarro. The scope of this work was to rescue heritage practices and knowledge considered sustainable/agroecological, and keep up with the development of post-training process agroecological practices and re-education of settlers groups to show them the importance of training processes for the paradigmatic change in the field. As methodology were used interviews, questionnaires and field research diaries. In the results, we attempted to discuss how the collective activities of education and re-education/revival of traditional knowledge and intangible heritage assist in the appreciation and rescue of traditional knowledge of agro-ecology.
