| description | A systematization and a quantitative and qualitative analysis of scientific documents
are presented, which respond: What are the main contributions of research in relation
to the demands of agroecology in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC)? What factors
approaches and methods have been used in time and space? The quantitative approach
predominates, followed by the qualitative one, and the mixed one to a lesser extent. The
development of agroecology in LAC is distributed in: a country with greater consolidation
(Brazil), a larger group in development, another with initial contributions and,
finally, one with minimal contributions. The most considered factors in the investigations
are the physical-biological ones, followed by the social, economic, cultural, and
political ones. Two thirds of the contributions to agroecological demands were: agroecological
management, maintenance of biodiversity, self-management and local self-sufficiency,
and soil and water conservation. Some contributions have been intensified at
present, while agroecological management has prevailed over time. The predominance
of conventional research approaches, methods and techniques is evident; the challenge
is to generate new ways of seeing and doing research, which allow addressing the disciplinary
interfaces of the complex problem in the society-nature relationship. |

Se presenta una sistematización y análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo de documentos científicos, que responden ¿Cuáles son los principales aportes de las investigaciones en relación con las demandas de la agroecología en América Latina y el Caribe (ALC)? ¿Qué factores, enfoques y métodos han utilizado en tiempo y espacio? Predomina el enfoque cuantitativo, seguido del cualitativo y menormente el mixto; el desarrollo de la agroecología en ALC está distribuido en: un país con mayor consolidación (Brasil), un grupo más grande en desarrollo, otro con aportaciones iniciales y, finalmente, uno con mínimos aportes. Los factores más considerados en las investigaciones son los físico-biológicos, seguido de los sociales, económicos, culturales y políticos. Las dos terceras partes de los aportes a las demandas agroecológicas fueron: manejo agroecológico, mantenimiento de la biodiversidad, autogestión y autosuficiencia local y conservación de suelo y agua. Algunos aportes se han intensificado actualmente, mientras que el manejo agroecológico ha prevalecido a través del tiempo. Es evidente el predominio de enfoques, métodos y técnicas de investigación convencionales; el reto es generar nuevas formas de ver y hacer investigación, que permitan abordar las interfaces disciplinares de la compleja problemática en la relación sociedad-naturaleza.
