Abstract: Rural settlers hold significant traditional knowledge about soils, developed through practical experiences and passed down over generations. This empirical knowledge is essential for understanding soil dynamics and implementing sustainable agricultural practices. This chapter explores how settlers' perceptions, practices, and language engage with soil science concepts, contributing to the development of management strategies adapted to local realities. Through field visits, semi-structured questionnaires, and textual analysis using the Iramuteq software, it was found that settlers value practices such as crop rotation, green manure, and soil cover, recognizing their benefits for fertility and environmental conservation. The results indicate that, although many traditional practices align with scientific recommendations, integrating settlers' empirical knowledge with academic expertise can further enhance these practices and harmonize them with management strategies, making them more sustainable and locally adapted. This dialogue highlights the potential of valuing local knowledge to strengthen agricultural sustainability and the conservation of natural resources.
