description Agroecology in school constitutes a comprehensive alternative to generate an agro-alimentary culture in community and school environments through the coordination of areas of production, transformation, and consumption, which endeavors to promote relevant education for the rural sector. This article shows the results of a study analyzing the relation between production and adherence to the minutes of participants from the Viracocha Foundation in San Agustín, Huila, Colombia. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with leaders and participants in two Foundation’s programs. The research findings determine that transformations are produced if students have contact with the farm, the kitchen, and the dining room. In this sense, the agricultural process articulates with human nutrition not only in school environments, but also within the community through programs promoted by the Foundation. It is concluded that agroecology in school is an appropriate educational strategy that can be incorporated into the education system and school feeding to facilitate the creation of healthy food production, preparation, and consumption spaces linking students to the configuration of an agro-alimentary culture based on a sustainable production and responsible consumption approach.

La agroecología escolar constituye una alternativa integral para generar cultura agroalimentaria en entornos escolares y comunitarios, por medio de la articulación entre los ámbitos de producción, transformación y consumo, que propende por una educación con pertinencia para el sector rural. Este artículo muestra los resultados de un estudio que analiza la relación producción/adherencia a las minutas de los participantes de la Fundación Viracocha —San Agustín, Huila, Colombia—. Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a los líderes y participantes de dos programas de la fundación. Los hallazgos de esta investigación permiten dilucidar que las transformaciones se generan si los estudiantes tienen contacto con el huerto, la cocina y el comedor, de manera que se articule el proceso agrícola con el de la alimentación, no solo en el espacio escolar, sino en el comunitario a través de los programas promovidos por la fundación. Se concluye que la agroecología escolar es una estrategia educativa adecuada para ser incorporada en el sistema de educación y alimentación escolar, para facilitar la creación de espacios de producción, preparación y consumo de alimentos sanos que vinculen a los estudiantes en la configuración de una cultura agroalimentaria basada en el enfoque de producción sostenible y consumo responsable. L’agroécologie scolaire constitue une alternative intégrale pour créer une culture agroalimentaire dans des environnements scolaires et communautaires au moyen de l’articulation entre les domaines de la production, la transformation et la consommation, qui tend vers une éducation pertinente pour le secteur rural. Cet article montre les résultats d’une étude analysant la relation entre la production et l’adhérence aux procès-verbaux des participants de la Fondation Viracocha à San Agustín, Huila, en Colombie. Des entrevues semi-structurées ont été réalisées avec les chefs et les participants à deux programmes de la Fondation. Les conclusions de cette étude permettent de déterminer que des transformations sont produites si les étudiants sont en contact avec la ferme, la cuisine, et la salle à manger. En ce sens, le processus agricole s’articule avec celui de l’alimentation, non seulement dans les espaces scolaires mais à l’intérieur de la communauté à travers des programmes promus par la Fondation. Il est conclu que l’agroécologie scolaire est une stratégie éducative appropriée qui peut être intégrée dans le système d’éducation et d’alimentation scolaire pour faciliter la création de espaces de production, préparation, et consommation de nourriture saine. De cette manière, les étudiants sont liés à la configuration d’une culture agroalimentaire basée sur une approche de la production durable et de la consommation responsable. A agroindústria escolar constitui uma alternativa integral para gerar cultura agroalimentaria em entornos escolares e comunitários, por meio da articulação entre os âmbitos de produção, com pertinência para o setor rural. Este artigo mostra os resultados de um estudo que analisa a relação produção/aderência às minutas dos participantes da Fundação Viracocha, São Agustín, Huila, Colômbia. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas aos líderes e participantes de dois programas da Fundação. Os achados desta pesquisa permitem dilucidar que as transformações se geram si os estudantes têm contato com o pomar, a cozinha e o comedor, de maneira que se articule o processo agrícola com o da alimentação, não só no espaço escolar, senão no comunitário através dos programas promovidos pela Fundação. Conclui-se que agroecologia escolar é uma estratégia educativa adequada para ser incorporada no sistema de educação e alimentação escolar, para facilitar a criação de espaços de produção, preparação e consumo de alimentos saudáveis que vinculem aos estudantes na configuração de uma cultura agroalimentaria baseada no enfoque de produção sustentável e consumo responsável Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia 2019-04-22 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf application/xml text/html application/zip https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/praxis_saber/article/view/8839 10.19053/22160159.v10.n22.2019.8839 Praxis & Saber; Vol. 10 No. 22 (2019): Maestro, didáctica y formación; 195 - 220 Praxis & Saber; Vol. 10 Núm. 22 (2019): Maestro, didáctica y formación; 195 - 220 Praxis & Saber; Vol. 10 No 22 (2019): Maestro, didáctica y formación; 195 - 220 Praxis & Saber; V. 10 N. 22 (2019): Maestro, didáctica y formación; 195 - 220 Praxis & Saber; v. 10 n. 22 (2019): Maestro, didáctica y formación; 195 - 220 2462-8603 2216-0159 spa https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/praxis_saber/article/view/8839/7737 https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/praxis_saber/article/view/8839/8921 https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/praxis_saber/article/view/8839/8958 https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/praxis_saber/article/view/8839/9019 Derechos de autor 2019 Maria Jose Pitta Paredes, Álvaro Acevedo Osorio
