description In Córdoba province, the use and commercialization of native aromatic and medicinal plants (AMP) are widespread practices adopted by the population. This context defines the need for the development of adequate technologies and its transfer to the environment in order to revalue and conserve the resource; the proposed objectives were to promote the use, production and sustainable use of native AMP in Valle de Paravachasca and to train social actors in management practices. In order to address sustainable practices in the use of AMP and their cultivation, the training and learning of students, teachers, producers and policy makers was carried out through journeys, practical workshops in fields and exchange of knowledge. The development of new knowledge was achieved through active participation in the different stages carried out. It is worth highlighting that students and teachers showed great interest in the activities and spaces for intervention on the subject. The participation of family groups in relation to new concerns and the return of practices and knowledge was visualized, allowing progress towards new objectives in pursuit of regional development. The interrelation and participation made it possible to detect new problems for future challenges in university research and outreach.

En la provincia de Córdoba el uso y comercialización de plantas aromáticas y medicinales (PAM) nativas son prácticas difundidas y arraigadas en la población. Sin embargo, las prácticas de colecta no se realizan en forma sustentable, generando la degradación de los recursos y consecuentemente la pérdida de ingresos familiares. Este contexto define la necesidad del desarrollo de tecnologías adecuadas y su transferencia al medio para revalorizar y conservar el recurso. Los objetivos propuestos fueron promover el aprovechamiento, producción y uso sustentable de PAM nativas en el Valle de Paravachasca y capacitar a los actores sociales en las prácticas de manejo. Para abordar las prácticas sustentables en el aprovechamiento de las PAM y su cultivo se consideró la capacitación y aprendizaje de alumnos, docentes, productores y decisores políticos a través de jornadas, talleres de prácticas a campo e intercambio de saberes. La incorporación de nuevos conocimientos se logró mediante la participación activa en las instancias desarrolladas. Se destacó el gran interés de alumnos y docentes en las actividades y espacios de acción sobre la temática. Se visualizó la participación de los grupos familiares en nuevas inquietudes y el retorno de prácticas y conocimientos, permitiendo avanzar hacia nuevos objetivos en pos de un desarrollo regional. La interrelación y participación permitieron detectar nuevas problemáticas para futuros desafíos en la investigación y extensión universitaria.
