Thinking about and implementing training from an agro-ecological perspective implies appropriate pedagogical and didactic forms that take account of the situated, polymorphous and composite nature of eco-knowledge.There are many sources of this knowledge, including research and/or traditional know-how.

Dealing with it in training involves developing systemic and integrative approaches that transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries. Such an approach presupposes, in particular, reinforcing
concrete experience by setting aside time and space for consultation and multi-stakeholder debate on : :
            – situations and the ways in which they are experienced (ex : what timeframes and             approaches should be envisaged to deal with the development of weeds in crops ?) ;
            – the actual activities implemented to deal with these situations (ex : working with local resources, re-connecting diversified potential, rallying external products or techniques).
            – phases of analysis of the consequences and impacts of this activity, both in terms of what it
            produces and what it helps to build (ex :. beyond its impact on the development of weeds, what are the consequences of mulching crops: on the soil microfauna ? On the quality of family life? On the company’s finances?).

Thus, training in an agroecological perspective is an invitation to embrace reality through the results (« this that it is… ») without getting bogged down in (only) prescriptions (« this that it should be… »)
while at the same time practising identifying, observing and questioning the existing discrepancies in a comprehensive approach (« where does it come from? », « how does it happen? »). To this end, the learning networks are fertile levers.

It is therefore useful, as trainer and as a learner, to adopt a « low » posture (humility, letting go) as ferment for the development of life skills, prerequisites for the construction of knowledge and the promotion of the skills needed to tackle agro-ecological transition situations.
