LAMAR, Adolfo Ramos  y  ROACH, Eduardo Francisco Freyre. The epistemological challenges of Science Education for the development of agriculture in Cuba. Ciência educ. [online]. 2019, vol.25, n.4, pp.855-872.  Epub 21-Nov-2019. ISSN 1980-850X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1516-731320190040002.

Currently the development of agriculture is inconceivable without the training of agricultural scientists empowered to produce, apply, transfer and improve agricultural knowledge and technologies. However, there is broad academic consensus in the world that agriculture is sustainable, economically, socially and environmentally. This demands a change in the epistemological perspective of agricultural science education. The paper is theoretical and unprecedented. It systematizes and analyzes relevant information, and experiences in teaching and research work by the authors on the epistemological change in higher agricultural education in Cuba, taking into account the changes in policies and how these changes have been concretized in the research and teaching involving students and university professors.

Palabras clave : Epistemology; Science education; Sustainable agriculture; Cuba.
