Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present the approach to novelty production as a theoretical alternative with the ability to interpret social processes of technical knowledge production and generation of innovations in rural development. Besides presenting the theoretical approach we use your scope of analysis in two empirical cases: the case of farmers who agroindustrialized its own production in the Upper East Region of Uruguay and the agroecologists case of farmers in the municipalities of Ipe and Antonio Prado, both in Rio Grande do Sul. In both cases analyzed the common point seems to be the production of novelties as part of a new set of practices, processes and forms of organization who have been used for farming families facing a crisis of social reproduction and experienced by these materials. We also identified that the production of novelties is not just a change in a stage of production or markets, but that generated mutidimensional effects, such as technological novelties, novelties products, novelties commercial and social relations in new directions and dimensions unexpected. It is this aspect mutidimensional the effects of novelties that allows them to relate to processes of sociotechnical transitions in agriculture.
