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.

The urbanization process without proper planning has contributed to an increase in the formation of peripheral areas and a decrease in people's quality of life, resulting in a series of socio-environmental problems. In this context, there is also the formation of short marketing circuits as marketing alternatives based on the logic of agroecology, as is the case of the Group for Agroecological Consumption (GRUCA). The objective of the work, therefore, was to analyze the use and occupation of the soil specifically in the location of the Settlement Paulo Fonteles, one of the main partners of GRUCA, during the years 2017 and 2018, through the use of geoprocessing techniques and environmental analysis. The methodology consisted of analyzing Landsat 8 images, OLI sensor, where 7 classes were defined: 1- Native Vegetation; 2- Secondary Vegetation; 3- Undergrowth; 4- Agriculture and Small Animal Breeding; 5- Exposed Soil; 6- Residential Area; 7- Hydrography. As a result, it can be stated that the use of geoprocessing techniques and environmental analysis are of paramount importance to follow the narratives and local scenarios. Concluding that even in a short period of time, it was possible to notice significant environmental changes in relation to the remaining area of native vegetation (legal reserve area greater than 80% in both years, decrease of 2% in arable areas) and soil exposed without significant changes, where it was possible to associate, in addition to the years analyzed (2017 and 2018) by the images, also to the current scenario (2022) observing the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR) platform.

A Contribuição dos Núcleos de Estudos em Agroecologia (NEAs) para o ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão em Instituições no Nordeste Paraense
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-06-07) PINHEIRO, Maria José Brito; ASSIS, William Santos de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0188412611746531
This study aims to reflect on the contribution of the study nuclei in agroecology in the state of Pará to the teaching-research-extension processes in teaching and research institutions in northeast of Pará. We based our study on principles of agroecology, sustainable development, the construction of agroecological knowledge and the indissociability between teaching-research-extension. We conducted the research in four nuclei of agroecology studies: NEA IFPA-Castanhal, NEA Ajuri-UFPA Belém, NEA UFRA-Capitão Poço and NEA Puxirum Agroecological-Embrapa Eastern Amazon. We carried out the research in four nuclei of studies in agroecology, using a qualitative approach supported by bibliographical research, documentary research, field research, semi-structured interviews and the use of the questionnaire. As a result, we inferred that the nuclei of studies in agroecology have been developing relevant actions around the process of construction of agroecological knowledge in northeastern Pará, reflecting also in other territories of the state. The nuclei of studies in agroecology present significant efforts to carry out the inseparable processes between teaching, research and extension. With different institutional characteristics, the nuclei of studies in agroecology are constituted in spaces of debate on the principles of agroecology and they function as important tools for the articulation between academic scientific knowledge and the knowledge of the communities and peoples of the field.

(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, 2023) SOUZA, Gabriele Paula da Silva e; AQUINO, Tayná Portilho de; SIMÕES, Aquiles Vasconcelos; GONZAGA, Noel Bastos; VIANA, Raíssa Martins
In Brazil, the Covid-19 Pandemic has interfered in the dynamics of social, economic and political relations since the year 2020. From this perspective, this article seeks to elucidate facts and data about the commercialization activity of direct food sales groups on this Covid-19 Pandemic context. The GRUCA+Iacitatá network is made up of groups wich makes a notable contribution to agroecology in the state of Pará, northern Brazil and the eastern Amazon: the Grupo para Consumo Agroecológico (GRUCA), a responsible consumption group that makes political food consumption possible, a defender of movements fighting for land, and the Instituto Iacitatá de Cultura Alimentar, a food culture point that has a physical space in Belém-PA and that fights for the Human Right to Adequate Food (DHAA) and for the rights of traditional peoples and communities. The GRUCA+Iacitatá network operates in the Metropolitan Region of the municipality of Belém and covers farmers from several states in Brazil, in addition to the state of Pará. The research in question has a qualitative and quantitative character, with graphs prepared by the managers of GRUCA, and which expose data on the commercialization of Paneiros Cabanos GRUCA+Iacitatá in the years 2020 and 2021, showing that since March 2020 there has been a considerable growth in consumers and sales, and consequently represented an important source of income for farmers in the GRUCA+Iacitatá network, as well as explaining that GRUCA was fundamental in times of the Covid-19 Pandemic for the disposal of agroecological foods, avoiding the exposure of farmers to the Covid-19 virus.

Each person has a science of planting: plants cultivated by quilombola communities of Bocaina, Mato Grosso State, Brazil
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-06) SANTOS, Thais Aparecida Coelho dos; BARROS, Flávio Bezerra
(Each person has a science of planting: plants cultivated by quilombola communities of Bocaina, Mato Grosso State, Brazil). The objective of this study was to record the most important vegetal resources in the life of the quilombolas of Bocaina, emphasizing the practices of agrobiodiversity management. We used semi-strutured and informal interviews, free list, and participant observation. For records, we used a field diary, photos, and recordings. For analysis, we performed calculations of absolute and relative frequencies, linear regression analysis to verify relations between age and species richness, Detrended Correspondence Analysis (DCA), and diversity profile. We recorded a total of 180 species, of which, the most cited plants were food crops cultivated in backyards and clearings. Ninety-seven medicinal species used for various diseases were recorded. The most common form of use is leaf tea. We verified that the plants management is of agroecological character favoring biodiversity maintenance. We concluded that the Community, by means of its traditional knowledge, performs agroecological management of the plants, promoting food security for its family and conservation of genetic resources.

Flores da terra: mulheres, poder e resistência no movimento agroecológico
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-02-20) ANSCHAU, Andréia; FERNANDES, Danilo Araújo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2839366380149639; GONÇALVES, Marcela Vecchione; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9274854854102856
Work made outside the market – mostly care and domestic reproduction – often associated and task of women, is disregarded in the classical economy. This non-visualization of housework generates a certain contempt for it, as well as its non-interpretation as an essential activity for the reproduction of humanity. This impacts women’s non-visibility as vital to the community. To highlight this process, the “caderneta agroecológica” is created. Through the monetization of production carried out in agroecological yards, it seeks to give greater visibility to work, especially the unpaid (or low-paid) production – focused on selfconsumption, exchange, donation and sale. Through the testimonies of women participating in the project, it was realized that the “caderneta” is an instrument of empowerment, because they begin to feel necessary, in the foreground, of their communities and, later, of society as a whole, becoming subjects of their own history. The “cadernetas agroecológicas” incorporate part of the feminist economics discourse, which emphasizes the problems related to the devaluation of domestic work and emphasizes the sustainability of life as the guiding axis of the economy. And because it focuses on self-consumption, it plays a fundamental role in food sovereignty, ensuring the liberation of bodies in relation to external food dependence, as well as food security. The “cadernetas” signal that the mode of agroecological social organization is built breaking with hegemony, because there is less separation between the productive and reproductive spheres, as well as a greater visibility of domestic work. Based on a participant observation process and the combination of data and analysis, this work joins the struggle to transform domestic work not into monetization, but in the productive diagnosis itself from the social, spatial and political organization of women in their communities.

Mitigação de impactos ambientais em assentamentos rurais: o papel da Universidade na construção do conhecimento agroecológico
(Revistas Brasileiras Publicações de Periódicos e Editora Ltda., 2022-05) COSTA, Karolinny Carneiro Guerra; MANESCHY, Rosana Quaresma; QUEIROZ, Jaqueline Fontel de; MELLO, Andréa Hentz de
The objective was to systematize the agroecological practices designed and tested to mitigate environmental impacts in Southeast Pará, as well as the contribution of the Federal University of Pará in the construction of agroecological knowledge in the region. The research had a qualitative approach, based on the analysis of bibliographic and documentary material. It was found the existence of teaching, research and development activities using a participatory approach and/or action research methodology in rural settlements. Projects carried out in partnership with family farmers have designed local technical references, enabling the mitigation of environmental impacts and supporting the development of public policies suited to the reality of production systems in this social category.

Um olhar de gênero sobre a reconstrução da agricultura em Abaetetuba, Pará.
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2004-04-30) MOURÃO, Patrícia de Lucena; GUERRA, Gutemberg Armando Diniz; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4262726973211880
The revelation of the negative aspects of modernization in agriculture upon women, men and the environment, brought up the need to develop alternative ways of food production establishing new relations with local eco-systems. In this view, the Agroecology has an important contribution because it relates the technological model to the productive aspects, environmental, social and economic, including gender relationships. This study analyses production and reproduction strategies of familial agriculture, identifying potentialities and limits for the development of sustainable agro systems and to the fair gender relationship. This strategies research was made among land workers (men and women), from the region of Abaetetuba – Pará, participants of the Center – “Tecnologias Alternativas Tipiti”. With the result of this research, we found out that the familial agricultural strategies turn to the construction of the agroecologic sustainability instead of the gender equality. This is because of the poor understanding that the transformation of the technological standard has to be related to men and women performance and social position, and that themselves are able to change. We hope to help this process with this study.

Práticas agroecológicas na transformação de paisagens
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-12-22) AVIZ, Larissa Beatriz da Silva; CONDURÚ, Marise Teles; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6085807397296909; SIMÕES, Aquiles Vasconcelos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0471255070027912
This dissertation aimed to analyze how the agroecological practices, developed by the farmers of the Group for Agroecological Consumption, contribute to the transformation of the landscape and the constitution of socioagrobiodiversity. To achieve the proposed objective, the research, of qualitative approach, was carried out through field research with participant observation. In order to understand the farmers' ways of life and their relationship with natural resources, I adopted the cinematographic record of exploration. The analyses took place based on two stages that complement each other: satellite images and the life history of farmers in order to understand the changes in the landscape. The results of this work show that the agroecological practices of GRUCA’s farmers are alternatives for transforming landscapes degraded by predatory economic activities into agrobiodiverse landscapes. These farmers have, in their history, the presence of peasant agriculture, in such a way that some present a continuity of peasant agriculture; others, of resumption, while others have found, in agriculture, an alternative way of life. It is also noteworthy that the farmers' agroecological practices were perfected based on their life trajectories, interaction with natural, technical, and financial resources, and a network of people and social movements available in the territory. This perspective is reflected in the diversity of practices and also of landscapes.

Re-existências de mulheres no território agroextrativista Pirocaba, Baixo Tocantins, Pará: por uma comunicação agroecológica, feminista e popular
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-08-08) REIS, Tatiana Nazaré Amaral Ferreira; GONÇALVES, Marcela Vecchione; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9274854854102856
Women from the Pirocaba Agroextractivist Territory, in Abaetetuba, in the Baixo Tocantins region, actively participate in resistance movements against the installation of the Private Use Terminal by the Cargill global trader, aimed at accelerating the export of commodities, mainly soybeans and corn. Women from Pirocaba dedicate themselves to working in activities such as agroecological agriculture, extractivism, craftwork and fishing, recording production in Agroecological Logbooks, instruments based on feminist economics, aimed at valuing women's work and production. It is argued that the use of Logbooks since 2018 has encouraged the productive and socio-territorial organization of Pirocaba, among other benefits. This thesis adopts action research as its main methodology in order to understand how counter-hegemonic communication, which opposes the hegemony of large media corporations, can strengthen Pirocaba women's resistance by promoting visibility of their Amazonian ways of life and the feminist and popular economy that they practice. In the first stage of the research, the potential of Agroecological Logbooks was investigated to support territorialized communication processes facing the challenges experienced by women of the Pirocaba territory. In the second stage, we proceeded to understand how large enterprises, especially Cargill's Private Use Terminal project in Abaetetuba, use “community relations” tools to defend their hegemonic interests. In the final stage of the research, conversation circles and communication workshops were put into practice with a group of women from the territory, resulting in the creation of the Vozes do Pirocaba podcast, an instrument of agroecological, feminist and popular territorial based communication carried out in a participatory manner throughout its design and distribution process.

Reforma agrária popular e agroecológica do MST: experiências de assentados do PA abril vermelho, Santa Bárbara-Pa
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-07-31) VILHENA, Luiz Felipe Nazaré; DARNET, Laura Angélica Ferreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3450720474559096
Since its formation, the Brazil's Landless Workers Movement (MST in Portuguese) fights for land reform. On national scenario, it is the main campesine organization against “latifundios” (large landed estates), rural workers exploitation, poverty and income concentration in rural areas. It materializes its existence through the method of occupying land for reform. This consolidates how they organize and form the encampments spatialization and territorialization, doing process of "campesinação" (making common urban people into farmers) and "recampesinação" (making urban people who came from rural areas back to being farmers). This works intends to analyze and reflect MST's agro-ecological production strategies for areas previously under monoculture production. The research field was Abril Vermelho settlement in Santa Bárbara-PA. Therefore, we characterized how MST thinks and organizes its proposal for an agro-ecological production and identified along with Abril Vermelho settlers, their production strategies, trying to analyze the MST influence within it. The interdisciplinary methodological approach consisted in theoretical framework from agrarian and social sciences, funded in campesine, social movements and agroecology concepts. The research techniques were indirect documentation and field research with participative observation. The research procedures consisted in historical analysis, production practices characterization, semi-structured interviews, transverse walks and photographical registers on land plots. The research results shows that in Abril Vermelho settlement, the MST agro-ecological proposal has contributed on consolidating organic and sustainable production systems. Thus, in this analysis scale, the agro-ecological basis for MST's Agrarian Reform is indispensable to the construction of an efficient counter-hegemonic production system that values traditional knowledge and autonomy of small farmers.

Trajetória de Institucionalização da Agroecologia no Nordeste Paraense: as experiências de Irituia e Santa Luzia do Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-05-15) PINTO, Elly Crystian de Oliveira; PIRAUX, Marc; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3690302287055789
The present research had as objective to explain the current level of consolidation of agroecology in two experiments in northeastern Paraguay. For this purpose, the processes of institutionalization of agroecology in the municipalities of Irituia and Santa Luzia do Pará were analyzed and compared. The construction of the research was based on the methodology of study of the institutionalization trajectory, to describe the degree of institutionalization of agroecology, to compare trajectories and identify weaknesses and potentialities in both municipalities. For this purpose, bibliographical analysis, document analysis, non-directive interviews, and exchange workshop are carried out, in order to capture the actors' perception and discourse about the progress of the agroecological transition. It was concluded that agroecology is consolidated in both municipalities due to the institutionalization process in its different dimensions, due to the articulation of actors such as family farmers and their institutions, the introduction of women and young people in agroecology, access to new markets and public policies. However, they need to move forward in dialogue with local management, stakeholder renewal, and rapprochement with movements such as STTRS. Exchanges and systematization of experiences, collective action (fundamental), consolidation of fairs.

This dissertation deals with the agroecological transition in the context of agroecosystems of agroextractivist peasants in the Amazon. This issue has generated academic controversies and important political challenges for the agroecological movement. The research sought to contribute to the deepening of this debate through the analysis of agroecosystems based on the contributions of political agroecology based on the articulation between political ecology, common resources theory and the systemic approach. The results reveal the necessity of the agroecological transition due to the crisis of the traditional management of the agroecosystems of the agroextractivist peasants.

A travessia dos saberes tradicionais amazônicos: um estudo centrado na cultura do cacau de várzea, no Território do Baixo Tocantins/ PA.
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-09-30) VIANA, Ana Letícia Nascimento; BASTOS, Rodolpho Zahluth; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0697476638482653; SIMÕES, Aquiles Vasconcelos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0471255070027912
The cocoa culture in the Amazon arises since the colonial period, with the process of occupation of territories and exploitation of drugs in the hinterland, where in the headwaters of the Amazon River it expanded in two directions: to the north, it followed the Orinoco valley, Central America and southern Mexico; to the south, it ran through the Amazon basin. In the Lower Tocantins, considered as one of the oldest and most well-established spaces of Portuguese colonization in the Amazon, it began to coexist with the traditional extraction of cocoa and other “sertão drugs”, characterizing the Amazon economy. However, the knowledge of cocoa producers who live in communities, in tune with the forest, may have been influenced throughout history. Thus, this study sought to analyze how the knowledge of producers who cultivate lowland cocoa in the territory of Baixo Tocantins is constituted. This perspective looks at the importance of cocoa, glimpsing its historical value and highlighting it as an element of subsistence that contributes to local development. For this purpose, agroecology was highlighted as an important ally to technological innovation, contributing to environmental balance. In this sense, it was apprehended that traditional knowledge combined with technological innovations, such as agroecology, enables the process of endogeny in a sustainable manner. To this end, this study was organized in a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory manner, and included field research with semi- structured interviews with lowland cocoa producers. The methodological procedure included a bibliographic and documentary survey, having as historical analytical reference the historical, cultural, social, environmental and spatial factors pertinent to the implantation and expansion of the lowland cocoa culture in the territory. The work is structured in three chapters, called “Crossing”. As products of this work, an agroecological sheet and an agroecological booklet are presented, aiming to promote and ensure agriculture in a sustainable manner, based on some objectives of the SDGs, minimizing the negative impacts that affect the environment, serving as guides for cocoa producers.
