Chaco Province Agroecology Original towns Family farmers Provincia del Chaco Agroecología Pueblos originarios Agricultores familiares Prior to the arrival of Europeans, Chaco region was a territory whose inhabitants formed an eco-anthropo-organization as an indissoluble part of nature that surrounded them. This human-nature communion began to be destroyed with the arrival of the first Europeans in the 16th century, such destruction exacerbated since the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, when the practices of deforestation first and agriculture later began to increase. From then on, voices, that warned that the path that was beginning to be taken was going to bring unfavorable consequences for both the region and its inhabitants, were raised. The aim of this article is to raise those voices and provide evidence that sustainable or agroecological practices were carried out since ancient times in Chaco Province. Due to this, bibliographic and testimonial survey of Chaco territory actors was carried out rescuing names, alerts and actions that were developed from academic, socio-political and productive spheres in order to produce amicably with nature. People and institutions that have been developing agroecological production processes highlight that this is a region where there is a strong dispute with the hegemonic model over agribusiness. Nowadays, there is an agroecological movement that follows those voices that had arisen in past times, when they still did not know that what they were proposing would later be called agroecology. La región chaqueña, previamente a la llegada de los europeos, era un territorio donde sus habitantes conformaban una eco-antropo-organización, siendo parte indisoluble de la naturaleza que los rodeaba. Esta comunión ser humano-naturaleza, comenzó a destruirse con la llegada de los primeros europeos en el siglo XVI, agudizándose esta destrucción a partir de fines del siglo XIX y principios del XX, cuando comenzaron a incrementarse las prácticas de deforestación primero y agricultura luego; ya en esos primeros tiempos, se alzaban voces que alertaban que el camino que se iniciaba no iba a traer consecuencias favorables para la región y sus habitantes. El objetivo del presente artículo es rescatar esas voces y mostrar que en la provincia del Chaco las prácticas sustentables o agroecológicas no son nuevas, sino que hunden sus raíces en la historia territorial, rescatando nombres, alertas, acciones que se desarrollaron desde ámbitos académicos, sociopolíticos y productivos en pos de producir amigablemente con la naturaleza. Para ello se realizó un relevamiento bibliográfico y testimonial de actores del territorio chaqueño. El accionar de personas e instituciones que vienen desarrollando procesos de producción agroecológicos, resalta que esta es una región donde se está disputando fuertemente con el modelo hegemónico del agronegocio. Hoy en día existe un movimiento agroecológico que es continuador de aquellas voces que se alzaron en su momento, cuando aún no sabían que eso que estaban proponiendo se llamaría luego agroecología.
