In recent years there is a change in public policy decisions around the prevailing production model, especially reinforced in the Pandemia by COVID-19. Both nationally and provincially postulates agroecology as the alternative to the conventional production model -dedicated to the Technological Package of the Green Revolution. In this sense, in the projection of sustainable agroecology practices it is considered necessary to incorporate the gender dimension in a transversal way, both in production practices and in organizations related to public policies design for the sector. Framed in the Gender and Development Project: Survey and Analysis of Innovations and Technologies for the Resolution of Socio-environmental Problems in Argentina from a gender perspective, (Pict-Fancyt 2022), the theoretical-methodological proposal implemented by the Sustainability Node is presented and gender, based on the Faculty of Architecture Urbanism and Design of the National University of Mar del Plata. It uses a mixed type methodology from an analytical framework that articulates central concepts of sustainability and gender studies with concepts of technology sociology. With this approach, we seek to contribute to more plural strategies in the design of public policies, putting in dialogue the concepts based on the systems approach as a way of thinking in terms of connectivity, relationships and context with an interdisciplinary character.
