Abstract

In this edition, we get back to the theme Extensionism and extensionists: practices in the territory. In the dialogue between Dr. José Muzlera (CONICET-CEAR/UNQ) and Ing. Agr. and Esp. Juan María Erreguerena (INTA Necochea- EEA Balcarce- CERBAS) are recovered the articulating questions of the special call for Vol 12. No 26: What does it mean to be an extension agent? What experiences do you remember as comforting from the activity? Did you record gender conflicts/inequalities during your work? Did you register conflicts/agreements/knowledge negotiations with producers? Throughout the interview, the responses of Juan Erreguerena expose various experiences of accompaniment, advice and training of and with residents in rural areas in the south of the province of Buenos Aires.
