Abstract

It is necessary to examine rural extension and dynamics as tools for social transformation in rural settlements if we want to deepen reflections and discussions about the agrarian peasantry and the struggle for land. This term talks about the settlements of the São Francisco Valley and how they supported the empowerment of women as a force of resistance and transformation. Furthermore, the objective is to investigate the useful experience of the Água Viva rural settlement in Petrolina, PE. The study will focus on the methods that settlers use to increase their agricultural production, with an emphasis on agroecology and land sustainability. Finally, the objective is to show the community's socioeconomic actions that aim to build a more just and egalitarian society.
