RURAL EXTENSION FOR DIGITAL COMMUNICATION ENVIRONMENTS Pedagogical methodology and practical applications

Dialogic communication paths connecting people who live and work in rural territories engaged on agriculture production is one of the main fundaments of Technical Assistance and Rural Extension (ATER). This educational approach plays an important role in transforming realities that goes far beyond the transmission of content but impacting different aspects of people’s lives.

In this perspective, we present an educational methodology aimed at a participatory Digital ATER in One Health, Sustainability and Social Equity, with examples and availability of educational resources. When the three main elements of One Health (man, biomes, and agricultural production) are expanded and deployed, they can be categorized into four major areas. They determine the sanitary quality of countryside standards: location, economy, interactions, and social behaviors. When collating One Health approach and the agricultural production, it is possible to have a clearer view in the processes of understanding, planning, development and implementing actions that constantly aim at sanitary control and prevention in the countryside3. This book helps in the planning, development, and application of various pedagogical contents via digital teaching-learning ecosystems in the countryside territories, in this new productive reality.
