Summary:This article aims to organize some thoughts on the materiality of water courses and forests for rural individuals in different Brazilian territories and the relationship between rural schools and Agroecology during the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis, based on data from 2020 and 2021, investigates how schools and their embeddedness contributed or could contribute to the construction of another agri-food system based on the principles of Agroecology. The methodological framework centered on surveying methods, literature review, and interviews with teachers from rural schools. The data point to the importance of schools in guaranteeing the food security of many families, in collective solidarity actions development, and in the production of pedagogical alternatives based on the critical understanding of the students' reality, which also are central elements for Agroecology practices.
