Abstract: The climate crisis, the destruction of the planet's ecosystem within the intersection of
collective, social, and planetary suffering, with the real possibility of an ecological
catastrophe, is the motivating basis for looking at and studying, in this work, alternatives for
resistance and overcoming. Firstly, we will provide a historical contextualization of the
relationship between the changes on the planet and the emergence and evolution of
agriculture. Next, we will address the emergence of so-called "alternative agriculture" as a
resistance movement against conventional agriculture, especially following the impact caused
by the Green Revolution. In this context, Syntropic Agriculture emerges, a recent agricultural
practice created by Ernst Götsch. In opposition to the concept of “entropy” from Physics
(tendency and measure of disorder and unpredictability), Götsch adopts the concept of
Syntropy as the main characteristic of his agricultural conception and practice (as it refers to
the function of organization, order and predictability within of a system that goes from simple
to complex, converging and concentrating energy, metabolizing the complexity of life). The
principles, characteristics, and practices of Syntropic Agriculture will then be addressed, not
as a package of recipes, or linear, artificial instructions, but rather as a logic, as an
understanding that guides the application of methods for implementation and management of
processes of complexification, where the elements are all interconnected as a whole – the
circular chain of life. This approach implies that the farmer, and everyone dive into the
interconnectivity that underlies life processes, and as a force that generates ecological
awareness, capable of mobilizing changes in the course of the history of our planet.
