ABSTRACT: The Amazônia is one of the last agricultural borders of Brazil country. To defend this full patrimony of wealth, natural how much in such a way cultural, this region needs capable professionals, with formation condizente with the agrarian conjuncture where we live. However, one of the main institutions of education of Agrarian Sciences in the region does not enable the students in accordance with the demand of the “Agricultural one of the Amazônia”. We perceive this fact when intrinsic questions of the region as the Agrarian Reformation and Alimentary Sovereignty had left of being debated the majority disciplines of them offered in the graduation in Agronomy. New a proposal metodológica of education of Agronomy is urgent and necessary, in way that breaches with the current paradigm of development for the field, and considers the Agroecologia as only viable method for, at this first moment, to diminish existing the ambient and social crises in the Amazonian field.   KEY-WORDS: agronomy, Amazônia, professional formation.
