Abstract

Pesquisadores defendem que a agroecologia interage e dialoga com o conhecimento tradicional, no entanto poucos estudos tentaram mensurar a produção científica que relacionam esse tipo de conhecimento à agroecologia. O estudo faz a análise bibliométrica quantitativa de 661 publicações que apresentaram palavras relacionadas à agroecologia e ao conhecimento tradicional, em seus títulos, palavras-chave ou resumos, entre os anos de 1991 e 2018, obtidas da base de dados Web Of Science. A maior parte da literatura científica é composta por artigos em mais de 300 periódicos, com mais de 2.000 autores pertencentes a 878 instituições no total. Um total de 102 países publicaram, sendo que, em número de documentos os Estados Unidos ocupam a primeira posição, seguido por França e Brasil. Variados temas foram abordados, como mudanças climáticas, biodiversidade, sementes, sistemas agrícolas, agricultura familiar e disciplinas das etnociências. As publicações que relacionaram a agroecologia com o conhecimento ecológico tradicional evidenciam a incorporação das três dimensões abordadas por essa disciplina (prática agrícola, movimento social e ciência), o que é evidente nas temáticas mais comuns nos estudos analisados. A dimensão interdisciplinar da agroecologia é evidente nas publicações em diferentes periódicos de escopo multidisciplinares, também na colaboração entre autores, com a maioria dos documentos sendo multiautorais. Finalmente, são sugeridas questões futuras para a pesquisa agroecológica.
