In this paper we explore the anthropological question about «how» agroecology is produced, which will enable us to move from the inquiry into agroecology, in the singular and as a normative framework, towards agroecological practices, in the plural and anchored in the daily activities of people. We will put in the foreground the experiences of our interlocutors to characterize the ways of create and reproduce rural life and work in four establishments in the Pampas region of Córdoba, Argentina, trying to mark the variability between them, as well as to extract some premises that constitute the logic that organizes and structures its production practices.It was identified that they operate an agro-eco-logic that puts the relations between species and entities in the primary activity at the center and allows to show a co-production of food. That network of relationships is a condition of possibility so that they can resist and exist, to create ways of living and working on the margins of agribusiness hegemony. Finally, we will reflect on the relationships that are established between agroecology and agribusiness in the capitalocene.
