Summary in the original language of the document

While acknowledging an extension of agroecology in the organic sector and a growing influence of agroecology in the academic world, we explore their relationships. These relationships cannot be reduced to an opposition between a scientific field and a practical domain. A Brazilian case study based on the analysis of researchers and social actors trajectories exemplifies the diversity of existing relations, whether inclusive or exclusive. With a literature review, this allows characterising the specific attributes of both organic agriculture and agroecology. We discuss them in the light of current challenges for organic farming research and development.

Apesar de reconhecer a extensão da agroecologia no setor orgânico e uma crescente influência da agroecologia no mundo acadêmico, vamos explorar seus relacionamentos. Estas relações não pode ser reduzida a uma oposição entre um campo científico e um domínio prático. Um estudo de caso brasileiro a partir da análise de pesquisadores e atores trajetórias sociais exemplifica a diversidade de relações existentes, seja inclusiva ou exclusiva. Com uma revisão de literatura, o que permite caracterizar os atributos específicos de ambos agricultura orgânica e agroecologia. Nós discuti-los à luz dos desafios atuais para a pesquisa agricultura biológica e desenvolvimento.
