The Agroforestry Systems (SAF) can be used as a means of forest recovery and are interesting due to their diversity of products and the sustainability of the system, mainly in the Northeast of Pará, which has a predominance of secondary forests, popularly called “capoeiras”, areas which can be used for its implementation. The aim of the study was to analyze the relation between Collective Action and SAF in the São Manoel community, in the municipality of Moju, Pará state. The survey data were collected in the years 2018 and 2019, with the main instruments used being historical, open and semi-structured interviews with farmers and main leaders in the community. The data are predominantly qualitative and the procedures to summarize were the transcription of the interviews, with the creation of tables and vertical and horizontal analyzes of the speeches. The community of São Manoel is a small rural village with a history of struggling against large companies to maintain its territory and whose main source of income is native açaí. Land titling is collective and the main issues of resource management are discussed with the Quilombola Association of Farmers of São Manoel, which also has other duties, such as discussing the issue of security, community organization, improving income sources, in addition to legal representation in different instances. The results shows that the SAF arrived in the community in 2015, taken by one of the farmers (who has agricultural training), and had great repercussions after the community verify the success of the system in São Manoel. The working group who has the SAF is composed of 15 people, who work from the plants nursery to the implantation of areas through the collective effort. They have a differentiated system of implantation of SAF, when carrying out the management of capoeira in order to use it as an input for plant nutrition. Three different types were found among the SAF of São Manoel, varying in the number of species in the system, being cupuaçu, cocoa, açaí and banana the main species implanted. The data show that the SAF had a good acceptance among farmers because the system was brought by one of the members of the community, which has also had repercussions in other communities in the Jambuaçu Territory. Collective action was fundamental to the success of SAF, since most farmers reported that they would not be able to implement their areas alone, reason why this community strength was essential for the success of a system which aims to generate income through diversification of production, resignifying the territory with their occupation through productive conservation.

“Proteger a mata para o rio não secar”: análise da recuperação de matas ciliares realizada por agricultores familiares às margens do rio Itabocal, Irituia – PA

On the municipalities of Pará’s Northeast mesoregion, family farmers have been standing out by establishing experiences with forest recovering on their properties. Based on that context, it was aimed to understand how forest recovering of riparian forest has been implemented on their agricultural establishments, considering their importance to the environment and the relation built between those areas, the Amazonian rural populations and their water resources. Hence, the research supports on the principles of systemic approach and of interdisciplinarity. The region of Itabocal, rural area of the Irituia’s municipality, located on the Northeast of Pará, was chosen as sample. In the first paper the processes of forest recovering found on the area’s riparian forest were characterized through a typology developed by field research. Altogether, three main types of recovering were identified, being enrichment of regenerating forest, natural regeneration and agroforestry systems. In the second paper, the socio-productive trajectories that took the farmers to decide on riparian forest recover were investigated, through a space-time analysis. After analyzing how factors that were extern to their agriculture establishments and how those that were intern of their systems influenced them through the years, it was understood that the recover of the areas was mostly caused by the concern with the maintenance of quality, flow and biota of the region’s biggest stream, Itabocal river. With the knowledge of Itabocal river’s importance to the local population, the third paper focused on the impacts suffered on it and the proposition of solutions to control them, based on the socio-spatial analysis built with the farmers. The deforestation of riparian forest, encouraged mainly by landowners, was noteworthy as the most frequent impact. It was also noticed that the river’s management is established on a non-institutional way on the region, generated by the family farmers’ efforts towards its maintenance. The results showed that the Itabocal’s family farmers follow a trend towards the forest recovering and have a well-defined perception over the problems caused by the deforestation of riparian forest. The main obstacles noticed for the recovering of those areas are related to a) the inefficiency of local public power in inspecting and stimulating them, either by proposing legal instruments of incentive or by including the region’s inhabitants on the decision making process relative to environmental conservation; and b) on the absence of certain groups’ environmental consciousness, like landowners, that insist on the riparian forest predatory exploitation. It was accomplished that the relevance of riparian forest recover is tied to the relation that the studied population have with the water.
