Based on the first results of a Franco-Brazilian research project aimed at studying the trajectories ofagroecology, this paper shows how the increasing place of agroecology in the landscape ofalternative agricultures reveals profound reconfigurations within the agricultural world which involveand affect in return the academic and the professional worlds, the public policies and the socialmovements. A study of the processes of institutionalization of agroecology within agriculturalinstitutions shows how agroecology appears as a new candidate for the ecologisation of agriculturalpolicies and practices, also differently in Brazil and in France, where the legitimation throughinternational institutions appears more significant. Complementarily, an analysis of a dozen keyactors' trajectories in each country shows how agroecology finds its success at the crossroads of theacademic world, the social movements and CSOs, the public policies and the leading agriculturalinstitutions, although in different ways in the two countries.
