Abstract

The neoliberal capitalism exceeded the sustainable boundaries of biotopes, generating eco-systemic dysfunctionalities, and deconstructing agri-food systems. In front of such scenario, agroecology emerges as analysis field, because of its codification, as a concept of the UN-FAO international system, to implement a worldwide agenda for development and food security. This aims to generate a social rhizome by innumerable local actors who seek to re-convert the conventional agri-food system into an agro ecological system. The latest exposed the need to analyze the agroecology's semantic as a modernity story in front of two possible paths: Become a decolonizing semantics and representative of a contestatory social grammar or become in an uprooted and depoliticized version of an agri-food extractivist mainstream violator of rights. Given this, is possible that agroecology manages to "scrap" the neoliberal agriculture epistemology and propose a more promising alternative? Problems, as the COVID-19, exposed the high fragility of the global agri food systems, thus the immediately urgency to look for concrete answers. To do this, conceptual superlatives present in agroecological researchs were analyzed as part of different agroecology semantics expressed, along the decade 2010-2020, and as a bounded sample of agroecological thinking in Latin America.
