Relational practices such as spaces for the interaction of knowledge between technicians and farmers for successful technologies implementation processes in water and soil management

The present research ventures into the area of technologies for water and soil management and how they are taken to their recipients, in this case farmers of the Austro Ecuadorian. Many times technological solutions have been generated that in its implementation have failed to have the desired impacts. There are also experiences, and basically those generated in the VLIR 004 project (executed by Promas and Chords) that have achieved successful implementations of developed technologies; This due to certain elements that have been incorporated into the process, for example, relational practices between technicians and users, and the exchange and construction of shared or complementary senses. These experiences will be the object of our research, it is intended to analyze, systematize and theorize them, so that they can serve as a reference for next projects that work on this subject. With this we would make technologies adequately used, which leads us to improve the situation of farmers, raise their quality of life and proper management of natural resources.
