Açaí pulp demand in the retail market of Belém, state of Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-03) SANTANA, Antônio Cordeiro de; SANTANA, Ádina Lima de; SANTANA, Ádamo Lima de
The aim of this work was to estimate the parameters associated to the demand for açaí pulp in the retail market of Belém. Multiple regression analysis was applied to identify the key variables that impact on product consumption and to estimate the price and income elasticities and cross demand. The econometric estimation method applied was the least squares to correct heteroscedastic variance problems. Results have shown that the demand for açaí pulp is price and income inelastic. Fish and cassava flour were confirmed as complementary products of strong influence on the decisions of consumers. Product quality, with regard to its association to Chagas disease, also revealed a strong influence on product choice for household consumption. Finally, the socio-economic benefit of açaí pulp was R$ 762.78 million per year.

O Agricultor familiar horticultor do Amapá e sua força impulsionadora no desenvolvimento agroecológico
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-11-18) PEDRADA, Ana Karolina Lima; ALMEIDA, Oriana Trindade de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0325909843645279
Agroecology is a science with an interdisciplinary approach that has been built over generations, integrating traditional and scientific knowledge, promoting sustainable agricultural practices and building social movements, increasingly political, emancipatory and territorial. Studying this construction is seeking to understand the man in the field and how he contributes to agroecological development. The objective of this work is to understand agroecological family production as a driving force of rural development and how this producer is a key player in the formation and consolidation of a formal institutional environment in the state of Amapá. To achieve this objective, the research explored the forces that led to the institutional structuring of agroecology in the region; analyzed the historical structures of this family farmer, their agrarian trajectories and how they infuse their economic activity, directly influencing the preservation of biodiversity and local knowledge in the region when promoting food sovereignty; sought to identify the rationality and nature of the economic motivation of the family farmer in the state of Amapá and how he promotes agroecological rural development based on participatory strategies. Finally, it also sought to identify the agroecological practices used by family farmers in the state of Amapá to analyze the perspective of organic certification in their small agricultural productions focused on horticulture. The methodological approach used in the work was historical-structural and case study, where the research sought, from document analyzes and interviews carried out with the community leadership of agroecological family farmers and agents linked to institutional technical assistance bodies, about family profile and process of productive. As a result, the research concludes that, at first, the institutionalization of agroecology in the state was driven by local welfare agencies, but that the small production of family gardeners is increasingly present in this construction, boosting institutional agroecological development. The research also showed that the family farmer in the state is a multifaceted and diverse man, and his formation occurs according to spatial and territorial elements, so the family farmer from Amapá can be caboclo, riverside, quilombola, descendant of slaves, descendant of northeasterners , or former rubber tappers among others, making it impossible to reduce it to a single term or category. Also, the agrarian technologies promoted in its agricultural establishments are focused on agroecology, promoting biodiversity and food sovereignty in the state and proposing solidary economies with the formation of short circuits for the commercialization of its products. The research also identified two rationalities with different natures of motivation in the region: the capitalist family farmer, driven by capital accumulation given the growing formation of new social and economic needs; and the organic family farmer, a plural, diverse and territorial man, with a character of resistance, where his main motivating agent is the family. The research also showed that one is not an impediment to the existence (or not) of the other, nor is one an evolution of the other, they coexist in the same space, holding different social rationales and both promote rural development based on participatory strategies, such as formation of associations in order to promote collective practices. Finally, a prognosis was raised for a possible organic concession, issued by MAPA, in horticulture promoted by family farmers in the state and it was identified that 85% of family farmers in Amapá do not use pesticides in their production, 59.8% of family farmers promote some type of agroecological practice, such as crop rotation and/or fallow land, promoting socio-biodiversity, based on their traditional knowledge that is passed on to the next generation. The research also identified bottlenecks for the concession, which are predominantly bureaucratic, such as documentation, lack of a community bank of creole seeds, potability control and water use, compliance with sanitary standards for cleaning its products as recommended by law and strengthening of short marketing channels. Even so, the research concludes that the organic concession for family farmers, horticulturists in the state, is entirely feasible. Finally, the research shows that the family farmer in the state of Amapá is a key element in the structuring of agroecological production in the state and in the consolidation of a formal institutional environment, given their histories, motivations, resistance and struggles.

A Agricultura familiar e seu papel na produção rural paraense: uma análise a partir do censo agropecuário de 2017
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-10-30) CORREA, Alan Tiago; RAVENA CAÑETE, Thales Maximiliano; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6291249974166783
Family farming plays a crucial role in agricultural production in the state of Pará, serving as one of the main sources of employment and income in rural areas while significantly contributing to the local and regional economy. The practices adopted by small-scale producers are essential for the conservation of biodiversity and natural resources. Studying family farming in Pará allows for a deeper understanding of its specificities and challenges, providing valuable insights for the development of more effective and inclusive public policies. This study aims to analyze, based on data provided by the 2017 Agricultural Census, the role of family farming in rural production in Pará, with an emphasis on its contribution to the supply of the domestic market. The research seeks to answer the following question: “What is the role of family farming in rural production in Pará, considering its contribution to the supply of the domestic market, based on the 2017 Agricultural Census?”. Employing a mixed-methods approach that combines qualitative and quantitative methodologies, the study explores the nuances and qualitative aspects of family farming's contribution, including the social, cultural, and economic dynamics that permeate this activity, as well as the challenges faced by small producers. On the other hand, the quantitative analysis provides an objective view of the sector's contribution, using data on agricultural production. The analytical method is based on the description of variables related to family farming and the evolution of agricultural production. For this, data from the 2017 Agricultural Census are used, covering areas such as rural agroindustry, livestock, forestry, temporary and permanent crops, plant extraction, floriculture, and horticulture. The results indicate that family farming also stands out in the supply of higher value-added products, such as fruits, vegetables, and legumes. These crops, which require specialized management and are market-oriented, are fundamental to the supply of local fairs and markets in urban areas, establishing a direct connection between rural and urban spaces. This productive diversification not only strengthens family farming but also ensures an efficient local supply chain, reducing dependency on large producers and external products. By focusing on the domestic market, small-scale farmers guarantee a continuous supply of essential products, particularly in times of crisis or logistical challenges.

A Agricultura praticada no espaço urbano: o caso do bairro Almir Gabriel em Marituba - PA
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-06-12) ROSA, Ciria Cristiane da; FOLHES, Ricardo Theophilo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5612208724254738
Marituba is a municipality located in the Metropolitan Region of Belém, State of Pará. From 2006 to 2017 years, an agricultural census was carried out, during this period 11 years there has been a decline of 65% of family production units. That reduction is associated with numerous factors such as: the aging of farmers, lack of interest from younger people, lack of public policies and of technical assistance and rural extension. In addition to these aspects, there was an increase population in the municipality. The agriculture that is developed in the municipality supplies the markets of the capital of Pará and is characterized as small lots – sites or agroforestry backyards – in which farmers develop a variety of crops within urban areas. Almir Gabriel is a neighborhood that used to be a farm and went through an occupation process, during the demarcation of the place agricultural production plots and areas intended for housing were divided. So, the study has the following question: with the expansion of urbanization in the neighborhood, lots and agricultural land are failing to develop agriculture due to other forms of land use and conversion of urban space? For To answer this question, we sought to achieve the general objective: to understand how the production of urban space affects agricultural activities in the city. the specifics objectives are: To get information about territorial aspects, urban areas and the characteristics of urban agriculture in Marituba. To Check the actions developed by institutions dealing with agriculture in the municipality. To identify the perceptions of farmers in the Almir Gabriel neighborhood about the urbanization taking place in the locality. As for the methodological procedures, this is a research with a qualitative approach, with use of methods quantitative data described in tables and graphs, consultations with bibliographies and documents, in addition to semi-structured interviews with farmers and managers public. the areas were sold and incorporated into a process of real estate speculation and there is an advance in the urbanization of space demarcated to agriculture, causing environmental damage.

Agro é POP ou a Globo é agro?: relações de poder e dominação através da construção das narrativas de riqueza e dos padrões de consumo pela comunicação midiatizada do campo da agropecuária
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-10-14) CUNHA, Larissa Carreira da; CASTRO, Edna Maria Ramos de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4702941668727146
The thesis analyzed the relations of power and domination in the field of agriculture through the construction of narratives and consumption patterns through the communication of the hegemonic agents that integrate the media field, represented by Rede Globo in partnership with the field of the Market and the State. The hypothesis was constituted with the assertion that the belief in the wealth narratives built by the mediatized communication of agribusiness enables the agreement of a hegemonic model of development based on neoextractivism, colonial thought and the Cartesian-materialist paradigm, forging a consumer awareness of society agents. Theoretical and methodological references of the concepts of field, habitus and beliefs of Pierre Bourdieu, Foucault's Power, Kotler's marketing and Bernays' advertising, consumer awareness with the theories of Hegel and Jung, paradigms and development narratives with Rist and Korten, field of development and Amazon with Castro, veganism with Singer and Ferrigno, among others. 103 videos from the “Agro: the industry-wealth of Brazil” campaign were analyzed, as well as other communication materials from the broadcaster, using the media analysis methodology of Leach and Liakopoulos. The thesis demonstrated that Rede Globo, in addition to being a powerful member of the media field, also integrates the market field, these agents being the most dominant within the field of agriculture and livestock, together with the State, whose exercise of power constitutes the construction of standards of consumption and the narrative that constitutes the development model, in a process legitimized and validated by the agents of society, consumers. It was also demonstrated that there is a part of the agent that acts contrary to the rules of the field, exercising an anti-hegemonic consumption capable of promoting a disturbance within the field and the creation of new economic and social dynamics by hegemonic and non hegemonic agents . It was also concluded that the change in the development models involves changing the paradigm of reality, arising from the collective and individual change in consumer awareness. Following the model based on the Cartesian materialist hegemonic paradigm, there is the possibility of real and effective change in economic and development models for a truly harmonious result between economic production, preservation of the environment and respect for the other species that make up the Earth's biosphere. The thesis concludes that the change in the development models does not depend on the ideological change in the control of the hegemonic agents that are in power, and is linked to the conformation of the collective conscience, product of the individual conscience, which is validator of the paradigm.

In rural settlement projects the consolidation is the final phase of INCRA's role in a reformed area and occurs after the completion of all actions proposed and implemented by the Municipality in order to become viable and autonomous settlements under the National Program for Agrarian Reform. In the years 2001 and 2002, this process involved ten federal rural settlement projects, coming from expropriation for social interest, located in the northeast of Pará, foundation of this study, in which the object is the Settlement Project Itabocal, located in municipalities of Mãe do Rio, Irituia and Capitão Poço, in the state of Pará. In this sense it proceeded to check an updated analysis of the socio-economic and environmental conditions, in addition to topographic demarcation services, technical assistance, credit, and infrastructure deployed at the enterprise. Thanks to the use of a methodology anchored in a case study on the project that presented with greater areal extent, settled families and funds received from the Federal Government, based on a non-probabilistic sample accessibility, involving 100 actors, using a qualitative and quantitative approach, in a descriptive research, with data processing for quantitative systems. From the results obtained it was possible to analyze demographic, social, economic and technical indicators and social capital, concluding that there was impediment of the socio-productive inclusion of the residents of the area, since the agricultural production system is not feasible in isolation, and the income of residents stood mostly in up to two minimum wages, and that to achieve this level there was the need for monetary complementation of the Bolsa Família Program and retirements, despite the propertied families present themselves settling consumer durables, like refrigerator, TV and mobile. It was found that the reduced titration of individual plots did not reach half of the beneficiaries, and shipped domain titles were not settled, preventing registration in real estate registry office, which allowed, outside the law, the reconcentration of family plots by persons outside the settlement, leading to “fazendeirização”. There was also substantial environmental damage for breach of environmental legislation, since the absence of licensing the design to lack Rural Environmental Registry. Finally, there was that public policy in evidence was his unfinished cycle, and as tender proceeded suggestion reactivation of specific actions for consolidation, in fact, the project

The central goal of this thesis is to understand and analyze the dynamics of sustainable use the natural resource by the cabocla-riverside populations aiming the application of sustainable development concept and, starting the observation the everyday the way of life, the use of natural resources and the process of diversified production as empirical elements required to think a new pattern of development, in other words, the sustainable, anchored to traditional knowledges of cabocla-riverside populations of lowland areas the territory of Baixo Tocantins of Amazon Paraense. Like this, sought , starting of theoric debate, develop a criticizes to modern science, with specificity to instrumental rationality, that promoted fragmentation the relationship between man and nature, through development of destructive activities the natural resources that compromise the own human life , the same time, was introduced an approach of interdisciplinarity as one possibility of articulation in different areas of knowledge for a intervention under perspectives of dimensions the social life and natural. The study to elaborate this thesis has as universe the Baixo Tocantins territory, where it considered the lowland ecosystems of municipalities Abaetetuba and Igarapé-Miri, in their components considered strategic like: riverside communities, agro ecosystem and riverside population, constitutive the Tocantins river margin. For this, was reconstituted of synthetic mode, the historical trajectory of this territory through of occupation, development, and use of natural resources, which were analyzed from adaptive productive dynamics , and use of natural resources in their multiple activities of management of lowland ecosystem focused for production and management of açaí , agroforestry systems (SAFs), agriculture, creating of small and medium-sized animals , creation of fishes, vegetal extractivism and animal , shrimp fishery and fish on lowland ecosystem. This practices of use the natural resources, traditionally employed by inhabitants of lowland areas makes part of one lifestyle, that secularly has guaranteed the production of knowledge acquired/inherited of past generations, how management and use nature resources of this agrosystem. The productive diversity strategies, management and multiple uses the nature resources follows the rhythms imposed by nature of adaptation capacity of relation with natural conditions of lowland areas, such as : flood process, flood and ebb the rivers, erosion/ deposition , environmental impacts by great developmental projects, elevated levels of the rivers , among others factors, keeping a high degree of interrelationship balanced with nature. Can mean that, in the lowland ecosystem, man and nature are completed, creating a single standard of sustainable development.

Dimensão da agricultura familiar e periurbana no estado do Amapá: desafios para o abastecimento frente à urbanização
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011) SEGOVIA, Jorge Frederico Orellana; HURTIENNE, Thomas Peter; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7133222063843073
The study describes the particularities of small farms and the supply chains of major products from this segment of the Amapá State, measuring the conditions in which this productive sector is acting on, and the possibilities for which they can increase their participation in the marketplace. This includes information on prices, sales volumes, sales margins, marketing and the value of different segments involved in marketing. Based on this information we constructed an analysis of small farms in the state, showing their contribution to the different segments of the state economy. Was calculated the impacts of the produce agriculture would have in the marketing chain state. The main results refer to the importance of the family farming sector, responsible for agricultural production in the State Amapá, mainly of food crops, vegetables, fresh fruits, fruit pulps, black pepper and charcoal. While on the one hand, this sector had only a small share in the GDP from 2009, indicating that retail markets (supermarket chains and local farmer´s markets) were not as important with respect to the power of linking their supply chains. We also observed that family farming has been fulfilling some basic functions in the economy, focusing the sale of their products to the state funded farmer´s markets where the profit margins are much higher, and the remainder being sold at local retail stores. Thus familial agriculture contributes to the market supply and generation of employment and income in rural areas. Therefore, a need for the continuation of state subsidies along with reorienting and strengthening of its policies to this productive sector in order to promote their development in a more sustainable manner.

Dinâmica agrária, instituições e governança territorial para o desenvolvimento sustentável da Amazônia
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-12) COSTA, Francisco de Assis; FERNANDES, Danilo Araújo
Referring to the Institutionalist debate in economics, the article discusses institutional arrangements in the Amazon taking into account the structural diversity that characterizes the rural sector in the region. Based on the different patterns of relationships between technological trajectories, two large representative configurations of development conditions are established: i) rural economies based on agriculture and livestock, and ii) economies based on agroforestry systems. Comparing the results of agricultural censuses of 1995 and 2006 one finds, for each case, structural changes in the period and speed, fundamentals and impacts of growth are analyzed. Special attention is given to the institutional foundations of the processes. As a result, two large institutional arrangements are presented, one that has the “land market”, and another that has the rules of access to common resources of biomes and ecosystems as its core foundation. Formal institutional mechanisms operate in each territory and interact with these informal institutions, and that characterizes the prevailing territorial governance. As a conclusion, it is found that a practical implication of it is that development policies based on sustainability should seriously consider these distinctions.

Large companies and their global demands put pressure on the local way of life in a process of commodification of nature and life, causing environmental damage and social pressures, which leads to reflections on the role of local actors and institutions in the processes of building social relations and changes in society. Understanding the relationship of the actors in this arrangement involves looking at how governance takes place and how the relationship between the large organizations, the State, and society defines the "rules of the game", which may serve and privilege the interests of some and restrain those of others. This research will analyze the construction of the corporate discourse of sustainability and the governance relations established around soy in the Lower Amazon region, identifying symbolic elements that contribute to the dissemination of narratives and rationalities different from reality and local ways of life. The importance of the study lies in understanding how capitalism and its historical transformations are reflected in the Amazon and its populations. The theoretical bases of the thesis are based on the contextualization of the debate on the emergence of the self-regulating market and the consecration of neoliberalism and on the concepts of governance, development, sustainability, territory and discourse. The geographical scope of the research is the region of Baixo Amazonas in the State of Pará - Brazil, especially the municipalities of Santarém, Belterra and Mojuí dos Campos and will analyze the performance of the company Cargill. This is a study of an applied nature, with explanatory objectives, transversal as to its scope of time, with a qualitative approach. The technical procedures used were a bibliographic and field survey. The Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) Framework was adopted for the investigation of the governance structure, emphasizing the description of the rules in the institutional analysis. The research also used content analysis, with the support of NVIVO software, and discourse analysis to understand the corporate narratives present in Cargill's annual reports and Instagram and how they relate to what actually occurs in the territory. The thesis showed that the instruments for disseminating corporate actions propagate narratives that contribute to invisibilize and oppress local ways of life, besides not being compatible with the reality that is presented in the territory in question. The actions of the State (in its different spheres) point, in the majority of times, to capitalist interests, where governments have presented themselves as a fomenter of the economic vision of the Amazon, creating public policies that privilege the economic use of the territory, under the aegis of the term development. The annual reports and Instagram preach a notion of sustainability linked to the economic function and productive activities, serving the interests of the company. On the other hand, for the communities sustainability is related to food security, to life, to having food on their table and that of their neighbors. It has to do with ancestry, identity, and the right to choose.

From the debate about regulation and institutionalization of the lumber market in the paraense Amazon with a view the data about violation of the flora of IBAMA, reports of IDERFLOR, SUDAM and a map of social cartography elaborated by quilombolas of São Sebastião Cipoal, the present study proposes to understand the State difficulty to establish the control of exploration of lumber to indicate acts of economic players in view of instrument of control, overcoat in archipelago of Marajó. See if that the positioning of state about the clandestine lumber activity is not addressed to an efficient regulation to this market, as well as it needs the efficient public politics to solve the territorial conflicts and to combat deforestation. The legal requirement of the project to forest management and to explore forest do not means that the equilibrated exploration occurs of the point of view of rational extraction the forest resource and the own use of earth reveals whether masked to " sustainability action" . Big agents with―green" seals to devastate the forest and the numbers of papers and infractions are ever higher.

Estrutura e impacto da expansão da agroindústria canavieira sobre o mercado de terras no estado do Acre, Amazônia ocidental – Brasil
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-05-11) GOMES, Elói Biquer Silva Rosa; CAVALCANTI, Francisco Carlos da Silveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3017141149020182
This study deals with the question of the market of rural land in the Brazilian Amazon, for which was selected a specific region (the Lower Acre) as a case study. The choice of this area is due to the fact that it is developing and expanding heavily the agricultural activities with emphasis on the production of sugar cane in this region. This thesis aims to study the impact of the expansion of sugarcane on the market of rural land in the Region of Low Acre in the period 2007 to 2013. We analyzed the impact on the variation in land prices, the effects on the land use of the main food crops (rice, beans, corn and cassava) and the fluctuations of the price of ethanol practiced in the state of Acre. We used for this study the analytical database of UNICA, IBGE, FNP/Agrianual - which is a database that provides information on selling price of land for crops, pastures and prices of leases by states and regions in Brazil. The study allows us to conclude that in spite of the progress of the area occupied by the cultivation of sugar cane in the region, there has been a reduction of land occupation specifically for crops of beans and rice, but, on the other hand, there has been a considerable increase in the plantation areas of cassava and maize. The situation is quite worrying when it comes to the market of rural land in the region, especially after the start of agricultural activities of planting of sugar cane. There was a considerable enhancement of agricultural land, in the first years of the activities of the plantation. The prices in the region of Low Acre became to be one of the most expensive in the country, only behind the State of Amapá. The land designated for the pasture had higher valuations. This occurred because the areas of pasture are strongly linked to the activities of the plant of alcohol in the region. The agribusiness leased land that was reserved for pasture and the ranchers began to acquire/look for new areas for the creation of cattle. This increased demand for new land meant that they valorize above the national average. Consequently, this process has a major impact on the environment, affecting mainly the deforestation. The study showed that there was an increase in the rates of deforestation not only in the region, but throughout the State of Acre, including in areas such as environmental conservation, Extractive Reserves and indigenous lands. And finally, this study allows us to conclude that the hypothesis that the local production of ethanol would tend to influence the reduction in the price of alcohol in the State has not been confirmed. Paradoxically, even with the entry into operation of the plant (already more than three years), Acre continues to be State with the highest price of ethanol in the country, and the prospect is that even the increase of production in the upcoming years should not result in reduction of the price of ethanol because the trend is that the scenario in the domestic and international markets will remain turbulent in the coming years.

Exploração de recursos florestais não madeireiros pelos Mẽbêngôkre-Kayapó da aldeia Las Casas - terra indígena Las Casas, no sudeste do Pará: aspectos biológicos, sociais e econômicos relevantes para a sustentabilidade da comercialização
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-05-12) GONZÁLEZ PÉREZ, Sol Elizabeth; MITJA, Danielle; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3686851570084502; COSTA, Francisco de Assis; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1820238947667908
This thesis analyzes the different types of non-timber forest products use on Indigenous Land Las Casas, as well as the importance of them to Mẽbêngôkre people of village Las Casas subsistence. Besides that, the thesis describes the use and the ways that the products and the community of Las Casas follow through market. The research was a combination of interdisciplinary methods and techniques of biological sciences, and human sciences, finally using techniques of ethnobotany, and geographic information systems. To understand the current context of the use of non-timber forest products and the integration into the market, it was conducted an analyzes of the history of occupation of Indigenous Land Las Casas, the dynamics of the use of land through the processing of Landsat satellite images, and the different types of soil were described by Mẽbêngôkre-Kayapó village of Las Casas occupation, also with the plants and resources used, that is the traditional economy of this people. I also analyzed the different forms of relationship of Mẽbêngôkre Kayapó with the surrounding society and how these influenced the market integration and different economic activities, highlighting in Las Casas to entering the market through Mẽkunhêre and Me à yry Las Casas projects. I found that the Indigenous Land Las Casas presents a dynamic use of the land guided by deforestation events and recovery of deforested areas. In this way, the Kayapó people recognize and classify different types of land use between that stand out savannas and forests, and disturbed areas resulting from the occupation by squatters in the area, for the establishment of cattle ranches. The classification of land use by Kayapó people from Las Casas was compatible to that obtained by the satellite Landsat-8, yet the Kayapó differentiate occupations that the image cannot be recognized, as are babaçuais, pequizais, barns, fields and humid areas. In these territories, the Kayapó people hunt, fish, and cultivate their traditional way fields. Among the plant species used for their livelihoods, identify and explore at least 95 useful species distributed in 36 families and 72 botanicals genera. For these species were raised 21 different uses grouped into eight categories of use. The species that were highlighted uses for subsistence and production of material culture belong to the family Arecaceae (Attalea speciosa Mart., Mauritia flexuosa L.f., Oenocarpus distichus Mart) e Caryocaraceae (Caryocar brasiliense A.St.-Hil.) and Caryocaraceae (Caryocar brasiliense A.St.-Hil.). These species are managed by them and are part of resource exchange network between villages, which ensures the circulation of different crop varieties, and raw materials used in the production of objects intended for ritual life and commercialization. Finally, for the commercialization in a sustainable manner the fruits of babassu and pequi, would be necessary to develop management plans for both species. In this way, the activity that provides more income opportunities is the commercialization of handicrafts. Even so, there are still aspects that should be improved. Especially in Ngonh-rôrô-kre association and community organization.

A Firma chegou, pesou, levou, aí vai tirar seus bilhões (...), mas o agricultor não sai daqueles centavos: expropriação e resistências camponesas na Amazônia paraense
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019) FERNANDES, Daniel dos Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8436207354089348; COSTA, Francisco de Assis; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1820238947667908
Whenever peasant formations are in some way in direct relation to sectors of the capitalist economy, the debate arises about their permanence or subsumption. In this paper I deal with this subject, and I present as a working hypothesis that the contracts made between family farmers and oil palm companies do not turn them into a class for capital, but they compose particular ways for capitalism to promote their expanded reproduction. Using the ethnographic method I show that in the Amazon the expansion of oil palm contains all the elements identified by Marx in what he called primitive accumulation, and that this does not constitute an obstacle to capitalist existence, on the contrary, proves Rosa Luxemburg's central thesis. According to Luxemburg, "As a historical process, the accumulation of capital progresses from beginning to end in a medium consisting of various precapitalist formations, and in constant political confrontation, maintaining endless economic exchange with them." Thus, and in view of today's context, the author's theoretical scheme is current and valid.

In this doctoral thesis, a methodology for spatialization of social and economic data in remote sensing images is developed, guided by the concept of technological trajectories applied to agrarian dynamics in the Amazon, with the objective of contributing to studies on deforestation and changes in land use. The work is carried out from the land mapping of a large agricultural region in the state of Pará, and the integration of statistics from the IBGE Agricultural Census with images from the LANDSAT satellite in the 1995-1996 and 2005-2006 years. As a result, it appears that the integration of social data in remote sensing images allows a more detailed reading of the vegetation with the integration of spectral data to the economic vectors that determine agricultural exploitation, allowing to conclude that the application of the concept of technological trajectories with explicit spatial reference facilitates a greater understanding of the driving forces behind deforestation and changes in land use in the Amazon.

Mudança e inovação camponesa: a economia da maniva (manihoc utilíssima crantz) na comunidade de Tracuateua da Ponta, Santo Antônio do Tauá - PA
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-07-04) NASCIMENTO, Antônio Arthur Cruz do; COSTA, Francisco de Assis; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1820238947667908
This research questions the contributions that the innovations and productive changes that come from the economy of the maniva, in Tracuateua da Ponta, have in favor of the understanding of the innovation and the capacity of peasant permanence. The community located in Santo Antônio do Tauá - PA is 19 km from the municipal headquarters and is representative mainly for being known as the land of the maniçoba, typical food of the cuisine of Pará. The sale of pre-cooked maniva emerged in the community in 1980 and triggered significant changes in the peasant's productive routine. The research obtained primary data from semi-structured interviews and an ethnographic reading effort to understand the technical changes, the historical path of the community and the activity beyond the consequences of technical regulation agencies. It deals with peasant innovation breaking with the classical literature that sees the peasantry as a way of life and of production in extinction. It concludes by weaving theoretical and empirical dialogues with the field lessons, in an effort of synthesis and reflection on internal specificities of the peasant family productive model

In the state of Pará, the palm culture has shown high annual growth rates from 1990 to 2012 the state has achieved an average annual production growth rate of 5%. This expansion of palm oil in the Amazon is due to the Federal Sustainable Production Program of Oil Palm (PSOP), created to foster and direct the production of palm oil in the region. Given the importance that the peasantry has and the expansion of palm oil in the region, aims to evaluate the impact that the PSOP is causing the Trajectory Camponesa.T1 the municipality of Acará and if, perchance, resulted in a change in the peculiar logic of productive local farmer. As a result the research concludes that there is evidence that the PSOP may impact the technological trajectory of Acará county T1, promoting a process of replacing the activities developed by the peasant. The lack of official data and studies related to the evaluation of PSOP impacts highlight the need for studies of this theme as a way to support the most appropriate public policy development to the Amazon region.

The general objective of this research was to estimate the Agroextractive Social Accounting, consisting of the observed and unobserved economy of the NTFPs of seven integration regions of the State of Pará. For this purpose, the regional input-output system generated by the methodology of the Alpha Social Ascending Accounts (CSα) was adopted. The data used to carry out the research are from the study of NTFPs in the seven integration regions of Pará by Idesp - Institute for Economic, Social and Environmental Development of Pará and in partnership with Ipea - Institute for Applied Economic Research estimated for 2019, within the scope of the Bioeconomy of Sociobiodiversity project developed by an initiative of The Nature Conservancy (TNC), with support from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and Natura. To meet the general objective, the thesis was structured in three articles. Article 1 presents the applicability of the Alpha Social Ascending Accounts methodology to estimate an economy not observed by the Regional Accounts System adopted in Brazil. Article 2 presents the importance of PNFM in the state of Pará, using the Social Accounts Alpha (CSα) method to give visibility to the observed and unobserved economy of PNFM, through the Regional Accounts System adopted in Brazil, in 2019. Then, Article 3 analyzes the intersectoral relations of the observed and unobserved economy of PNFM in conditions of limited information of seven Pará Integration Regions, in 2019, in order to evaluate the applicability of the CSα methodology. It is concluded that the proposed approach made it possible to build a basic regional system capable of capturing the peculiarities of the economies of PNFM in seven Pará Integration Regions. Contribute to the methodological discussion about the estimation of regional input-output systems in conditions of limited information.

The Lunardelli have possessed enterprises in several Brazilian States. The objective in the present work is to describe the performance and contribution from The Lunardelli in the development of the North area of Paraná, that as well as the others coffee growers in search of the famous Terra Roxa have crossed the border of São Paulo to Paraná, Geremia Lunardelli did actually to possess enterprises beyond Brazil, in the borderline country Paraguay. In the decade of 1960`s the Lunardelli have arrived in Amazon where they settled donw on the area of Araguaia. In parallel, it intends to stand out the process of occupancy of the paranaense territory starting from the displacement of three pioneering fronts: Traditional Paraná, with the search of gold and later the tropeirismo; Southwest, with the small property of the gauchos and catarinenses immigrants; and North Area, with the paulistas and mineiros trying to expand yours coffee plantations. Highlighting in this front the work of CTNP, main articular of the ways to transporting the paranaense coffee
