description This article presents a proposal for a support strategy for the social appropriation of new technologies in agricultural communities. This strategy is based on the approach of linear processes in which traditional actors (academy, state, companies) develop a technology to solve a problem and then transfer it to users. The strategy is grounded on the concepts of social practice, weak social appropriation of science and technology (ASCyTD, by its acronym in Spanish) and strong social appropriation of science and technology (ASCyTF, by its acronym in Spanish), and is illustrated with an example of how it could be applied in the appropriation of a technology to determine three stages of ripening of the gulupa fruit (Passifloras edulis Sims). To obtain the information required in the example on traditional knowledge, scientific knowledge and possible technologies that guide human actions in the agricultural practice of harvesting gulupas fruits, which are part of the culture of the agents receiving the technology in question, a survey was conducted among 52 farmers in some municipalities of Cundinamarca, Colombia. The interviews showed, among other things, that even though 83 % are in favor of the use of technology in the practice of harvesting, the task is still guided by the "feel" (hardness, weight and size) and "eyesight" (colors of the peel). This work is expected to contribute to the agricultural communities with the initiatives of social transfer of new technologies specifically proposed by the academy.

En este artículo se presenta una propuesta de estrategia de acompañamiento para la apropiación social de nuevas tecnologías en comunidades agrícolas. Estrategia que surge y se desarrolla en el enfoque de procesos lineales, en los cuales los actores tradicionales (academia, Estado, empresa) crean una tecnología para solucionar un problema y luego transferirla a los usuarios. La estrategia se basa en los conceptos de práctica social, apropiación social de la ciencia y la tecnología débil (ASCyTD) y apropiación social de la ciencia y la tecnología fuerte (ASCyTF), y se ilustra con un ejemplo sobre cómo podría ser aplicada en la apropiación de una tecnología para determinar tres estados de maduración de la fruta gulupa (Passifloras edulis Sims). Para obtener la información requerida en el ejemplo, sobre los saberes tradicionales, los conocimientos científicos y las posibles tecnologías que guían las acciones humanas en la práctica agrícola de cosechar las gulupas que hacen parte de la cultura de los agentes receptores de la tecnología citada, se entrevistaron 52 campesinos y campesinas en algunos municipios de Cundinamarca, Colombia. Las entrevistas mostraron, entre otras cosas, que a pesar de que el 83 % está a favor del uso de las tecnologías en la práctica de cosechar, la tarea sigue siendo guiada por el “tanteo” (dureza, peso y tamaño) y la “vista” (colores de la cáscara). Con este trabajo se espera contribuir en las comunidades agrícolas con las iniciativas de transferencia social de las nuevas tecnologías propuestas específicamente desde la academia.
