description The objective of the article is to analyze the role of higher agricultural education (SEE) in the university context in the face of the contradictory demand of social subjects: some for adapting it to the market, others for promoting respect for human rights and food sovereignty to train professionals that guide agricultural production processes, which benefit the most vulnerable groups in the countryside and rural areas of the neoliberal capitalist system. Methodologically, it refers to futures studies, where EAS and food sovereignty as long-term options for 25, 30 or 50 years, leads us to shape traits, attend to trends, recognize uncertainties and think the impossible of total facts such as the pandemic. COVID 19, and other related socio-environmental conflicts to reinterpret the current social reality and reconstruct scenarios as possible futures in global settings, especially in a national reality such as Mexico. It is concluded that, after analyzing fifteen university institutions through global, regional, and national scenarios that thought about their time and contexts, three scenarios are synthesized for Mexico: one pessimistic; another pessimist-optimist; and an optimistic third with an orientation to respect human and social rights, and the production of safe food to achieve food sovereignty.

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el rol de la educación agrícola superior (EAS) en el contexto universitario ante la contradictoria demanda de los sujetos sociales: unos por adecuarla al mercado, otros por promover el respeto de los derechos humano y soberanía alimentaria para formar profesionales que orienten los procesos productivos agropecuarios, que beneficien a los grupos más vulnerables del campo y medio rural del sistema capitalista neoliberal. Metodológicamente se alude a los estudios de futuros, en donde la EAS y la soberanía alimentaria como opciones a largo plazo 25, 30 o 50 años, nos lleva a moldear rasgos, atender tendencias, reconocer incertidumbres y pensar lo imposible de hechos totales como la pandemia COVID 19, y otros conflictos socioambientales afines para reinterpretar la realidad social vigente y reconstruir escenarios como futuros posibles en ámbitos globales, especialmente en una realidad nacional como la mexicana. Se concluye que, después de analizar una quincena de instituciones universitarias mediante escenarios globales, regionales, nacionales que pensaron en su momento y contextos, se sintetizan tres escenarios para México: uno, pesimista; otro, pesimista-optimista; y, un tercero, optimista con orientación de respeto a derechos humanos y sociales, y la producción de alimentos inocuos para lograr la soberanía alimentaria.
