"Environmental concerns have influenced the political projects of family farmers' organizations. The present paper aims to examine how these concerns were assimilated by the Federação dos Trabalhadores na Agricultura Familiar da região Sul (FETRAF-Sul) in the Alto Uruguai in Rio Grande do Sul, mainly in setting the agenda of agroecology. A review about the process of building this agenda in the trade unionism was based on the consultation of documents produced by trade unions and their press offices, newspapers and interviews with farmers' leaders. We decided to do a study about the town of Constantina-RS, where experiments have been carried out since the 1980s to assess how environmental issues have been internalized by unions in different periods. "

Rural social movements have in recent years adopted agroecology and diversified farming systems as part of their discourse and practice. Here, we situate this phenomenon in the evolving context of rural spaces that are increasingly disputed between agribusiness, together with other corporate land-grabbers, and peasants and their organizations and movements. We use the theoretical frameworks of disputed material and immaterial territories and of re-peasantization to explain the increased emphasis on agroecology by movements in this context. We provide examples from the farmer-to-farmer movement to show the advantages that social movements bring to the table in taking agroecology to scale and discuss the growing agroecology networking process in the transnational peasant and family farmer movement La Vía Campesina.
