Abstract

Sustainable Agroecological Production is an alternative proposal for the transition from conventional agriculture to an agriculture based on Agroecology, in the search to meet parameters of sustainable development and preservation of the environment. There are numerous strategies used by groups that make use of agroecology to meet their needs while minimizing the impact on the ecosystem. Thus, agroecology fosters the participation of rural women from the group of artisan and extractive workers (GTAE) in the southeast of Pará in a context of socio-territorial transformations, rural communities that contribute to the construction of women's empowerment, where the productive chain revolves around women entrepreneurs, who hold ancestral knowledge in the molds of producing, through family heritage of these communities, contributing to the maintenance of sustainable management of biodiversity, implemented in gender groups and social spaces.
