MOVING BETWEEN TWO WAYS OF PLANTING: from urbanextensive to traditional and the challenges of staying in the countryside

Abstract

We can't deny that the invasion of industrial capitalism into the countryside and its extensive urbanization has been erasing and challenging the traditional ways of
farming that still exist. With the advent of the so-called “green revolution”, small farmers are increasingly incorporating a way of farming based on efficiency and productivity. Abandoning traditional ways that take advantage of the system's ability to sustain itself. We propose here to problematize both forms without the intention of comparing them, as if one
were better than the other, but rather to understand how they reflect different ways of life, at a time when the countryside represents one of the ways of tackling the current climate
crisis, when family farming is responsible for a large part of the urban population's food, revealing the importance of the permanence of those who work in the countryside.
