Abstract

This article presents the advances of the huerta UNAE project as a space for the generation of new learning environments, from direct contact with the land and the diversity of ecosystems. The process is focused on a holistic vision, integrating the pedagogical dimension with the management of agro-cultural systems, and intercultural dialogue. To this end, the internal reports have been revised, but also those of the allied institutions.
