In Latin America, during the last decades, social movements have worked to satisfy local food needs in a context where rural transformations have been based on strategies that govern local productive systems from the global with the objective of accumulating capital. The Peasant University–Indo–American Rural University Systems is a pedagogical project of popular education of the Peasant Movement of Santiago del Estero–Vía Campesina, framed in the project of the Latin American Agroecological Institutes of Agroecological Training Schools of the VC, for the construction of a counter–hegemonic model. The objective of this article is to reflect on the contributions of the Peasant University to the indigenous–peasant movement and how it contributes to the construction of food sovereignty. The methodological approach is Participatory Action Research. The contributions of The Peasant University transcend its area of influence and its pedagogical proposal faces challenges that could be faced by articulating with different institutions.

Keywords : agroecology; food sovereignty; social movements; emancipatory critical extensionism; Peasant University–Indo–American Rural University Systems; UNICAM SURI.
