  • In a context of growing environmental pollution caused by the implementation of extractivist logics in agribusiness, with more than 20 years of use of the technological package in Argentina (Amaya Guerrero, 2016), the multisectoral against agribusiness - 41 defined in 2016 MAPO OF FUMIGATED PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF THE PROVINCE OF BUENOS AIRES.

    At first it was the same multisectoral that established criteria, through the debate based on the reading of different investigations on the drift of powdered agrotoxics, to identify what a fumigated school is.

    Then, under the methodology of workshops, collective mapping were held in different parties, to which we were added together with environmental assemblies, unions, social organizations, teachers, students and neighbors, according to each territory, thus conforming equipment where they were promoted/ They promote instances of co-formation, exchange and socialization of the problem.

    In turn, we integrate this practice into an extension project based in UNLU (environmental epistemic networks research program), which today is part of the extension team in socio -environmental conflicts for social transformation. Our contributions aimed to collaborate with the systematization of what has been worked in in each district, in order to generate elements for the fight against agribusiness, making available all the possible resources given by insertion into the public university.

    Our internal debates about Inter and Transdiscipina resonated in all the organizations and people participating in the mapping, where we discuss from the different approaches and previous formations, collectively building knowledge, then reflected in public reports that expose elements for an environmental diagnosis and They have contributed to the popular organization in various forms.
