"The Amazon is undergoing profound changes that are reflected in the degradation of its environment. Agriculture and livestock farming are the main factors. The protection of the environment is closely linked to the forms of development and to the resolution of the socio-economic difficulties affecting small family producers".
ESO and ARGUMANS are partners in an ERASMUS+ project with Brazilian, Ecuadorian and Spanish research and higher education centres for the digital transition of education in the field of sustainable development in the Amazonian territories.
During this seminar, after a presentation of the ERASMUS+ ICOOPEB project and the links it aims to establish between research and education, we will present the role played by collective dynamics in the construction of sustainable development in the rural territories of the Amazon".
This debate will be organised around three presentations:
- Adebaro ALVES DOS REIS (economist, Director of the Federal Institute of Pará, Brazil): "Cooperativism and sustainability in the State of Pará, Brazil".
- Wagner NASCIMIENTO (PhD student in geography, ESO, University of Le Mans): "Territorial dynamics of the diffusion of agroforestry systems among family farmers in the Brazilian Amazon".
- François LAURENT (geographer, ESO, University of Le Mans): "Research carried out at the ESO of Le Mans in Amazonia and the ICOOPEB project - Educational, social and technological innovations for sustainable agricultural development and cooperativism in the rural territories of the Ecuadorian and Brazilian Amazon".
