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.

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.

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.
