This work focuses on the analysis of the agroecological experience of Araponga, city at Zonada Mata region of Minas Gerais and, from the retake of its history, tries to understand in whatlevel this experience influences the formation of access of the farmers to different resources,material and non-material. It tries to understand also the importance of this access. Thenetwork arrangements, for the experience and how these processes contribute to changepower relationships locally, both for the farmers as for the organizations involved in thisexperience. After this study of case was carried out, after the interviews, with technicians andfarmers, it was seen that the experience had contributed for the construction of three mainroutes: Land, market and public administration and that these routes are essential for the verydevelopment of the experience. The land, as the central mediator element of the socialrelations in the place is priority access for the survival of the farmers and for the constructionof the ecological proposal. Joining an autonomous experiment of the farmers of Araponga forthe access to land - named by them land conquest ? with the agroecological proposal, aresignification of the land and of the resources offered by it is seen, and also that the accessthat becomes more than the possession. With this initiative, changes have been observed inthe relationships of power, mainly in the aspect of production, but also related to marketrelations and politics demanding more specific actions in these areas from those involved inthe experiment. Thus, new initiatives to conquer better access to the market, as the creation, inthe city, of the market of the Family Farmers of Araponga Association or the strategy fororganic coffee commercialization have been started. On the regard of the access to localpublic government, the agents involved in the experiment create actions to influence theproject and the creation of public policies, both in the city and in other areas of the publicgovernment. From these relations, changes in the power relationships come, both for thefarmers (mainly in the production area) as for the other agents involved in the experiment.However, this improvement brings new conflicts that need the development of the farmers?capacity to be tackled and more intervention by the mediators. In all this process, the linksbuilt by this agroecological network and the micro nets that point the local social relationshipsplay an important role giving support and agility to the development of the strategies adoptedin the experiment. One of the strong points of this experiment is related to the link amongdifferent practices and strategies that foster distribution and management of resources, theorganization process and the initiative as a whole.
