Abstract
VASQUEZ CARDONA, David. CRITICISM TO AGRARIAN SCIENCES. Luna Azul [online]. 2008, n.27, pp.85-93. ISSN 1909-2474.
The environmental crisis caused by the current mode of production criticizes the labor of Agrarian Sciences, due to the fact that they produced technologies that have deteriorated life in ecosystems. These developments have been carried out claiming to be exercising their scientific labor supporting the goal to impose their violent knowledge, which seeks to control nature, instead of its explanation and organization in theories, their true scientific duty. Based on this logic, said sciences specialized in the diverse sectors of the division of labor aimed at single-crop farming, the characteristic form of agriculture developed within the goods production process of bourgeois society. Therefore, the achievements of Agrarian Sciences dont address the dynamics of life in ecosystems, but rather accelerate entropy, and thus deteriorate life on the planet; this can only be overcome if humans by their work, which shapes nature, reconcile with nature through their conscious action.
Keywords : Environmental crisis; Agrarian Sciences; single-crop farming; entropy; life.
