Rural Schools of Agroecology (ECAS) are a strategy of sustainable endogenous development (DES) “To Live Well” in Andes Tulueños (Valle del Cauca). This paper analyzes the philosophical, methodological and ethical-political approaches that guide the formation of the ECAS in two settlements in the municipality of Tuluá. The methodology is framed in Research-Action-Participation (IAP) and the Historic Logical Cultural Approach (HLC). ECAS as a strategy of DES becomes spaces of resistance for the rescue of culture, history, territory and care of natural assets by the revaluation of local knowledge and the historical contents that have been excluded by the dominant discourse of the West. Rural farmers exist because they have historically managed natural assets in a sustainable manner.
