We took as empirical object the rural community of Lajedo de Timba?ba, municipal district of Soledade-PB, located in the very small region of paraiban Curimata?. It is a community where registers one of the first cases of maintainable rural development planning in the state of Para?ba. The analysis was centered on the farmers experiences of life in sustainability experience, trying to understand how they acquire new knowledge and how they interact with them. In methodological terms, it was considered feasible to place the knowledge interaction between the farmers and technicians from ONGs by placing the analysis according to Paulo Freire s questioning (2006): extension or communication? To understand the farmers daily practices, it was resorted to the theoretical contribution by Michel de Certeau (2008) in order to discern a microresistance movement of inversion/rejection/changing by the farmers in relation to their external knowledge. Just from the theoretical point of view and resorting to the imaginary social by Cornelius Castoriadis (1982), it was considered the way of living of the farmers researched, having as reference the experience in the material and symbolic production of their lives. It became indispensable, therefore, not to dissociate the knowledge relationships between farmers and technicians from ONGs from the sustainability concepts, maintainable rural development, and rural extension. The results of the study revealed that the farmers from Lajedo de Timba?ba while dealing with the technological practices proposed by ONGs that work in the community, express those practices from their daily logic, and they constitute them in survival strategies that are inserted in their own idiosyncrasy. It was verified, therefore, that the external knowledge presented by the proposals of sociability alternatives with the droughts in the perspective of maintainable development while placed in the farmers daily relationship, they are judged as advantageous or disadvantageous when they are confronted with their peculiar way of doing their daily work. The technological practices are incorporated, denied, or recreated starting from evaluative criteria related to the preservation of the soil and to the economical and social reproduction of the unit of production of family agriculture / Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as rela??es de saberes que se articulam em projetos de constru??o do desenvolvimento rural sustent?vel para o semi-?rido paraibano, analisando as pr?ticas cotidianas dos agricultores e sua rela??o com as pr?ticas tecnol?gicas difundidas por ONGs. Tomamos como objeto emp?rico a comunidade rural de Lajedo de Timba?ba, munic?pio de Soledade-PB, localizada na microrregi?o do Curimata? paraibano. Trata-se de uma comunidade onde se registra um dos primeiros casos de planejamento do desenvolvimento rural sustent?vel na Para?ba. A an?lise centrou-se nas viv?ncias dos agricultores em experi?ncia de sustentabilidade, procurando compreender como eles se apropriam de novos conhecimentos e com estes interagem. Em termos metodol?gicos, considerou-se fact?vel situar a intera??o de saberes entre os agricultores e os t?cnicos das ONGs, situando a an?lise conforme questionamento de Paulo Freire (2006): extens?o ou comunica??o? Para o entendimento das pr?ticas cotidianas dos agricultores, recorreu-se ? contribui??o te?rica de Michel de Certeau (2008), no sentido de discernir um movimento de microrresist?ncias, de invers?o/rejei??o/modifica??o pelos agricultores em rela??o aos saberes externos. Ainda do ponto de vista te?rico, recorrendo ao imagin?rio social de Cornelius Castoriadis (1982), considerou-se o modo de viver dos agricultores pesquisados, tendo como refer?ncia a experi?ncia na produ??o material e simb?lica de suas vidas. Por isso, fez-se imprescind?vel n?o dissociar as rela??es de saberes entre agricultores e t?cnicos de ONGs dos conceitos de sustentabilidade, desenvolvimento rural sustent?vel e extens?o rural. O estudo realizado revelou que os agricultores de Lajedo de Timba?ba, ao se depararem com as pr?ticas tecnol?gicas propostas pelas ONGs que atuam na comunidade, expressam essas pr?ticas a partir da sua l?gica cotidiana e as constituem em estrat?gias de sobreviv?ncia inseridas na sua pr?pria idiossincrasia. Constatou-se, portanto, que os saberes externos, proporcionados pelas propostas de alternativas de conviv?ncia com as secas, na perspectiva de desenvolvimento sustent?vel, quando postos na rela??o cotidiana dos agricultores, s?o julgados como vantajosos ou desvantajosos ao serem confrontados com o seu modo peculiar do fazer cotidiano. As pr?ticas tecnol?gicas s?o incorporadas, negadas ou recriadas a partir de crit?rios avaliativos relacionados ? preserva??o da terra e ? reprodu??o econ?mica e social da unidade de produ??o da agricultura familiar
