This dissertation describes and analyzes, through a case study, agricultural and extractive practices performed by riverine communities in the Queimada Island, in the municipality of Afuá, State of Pará, Brazil. The objective is to understand and highlight the articulation of riverine family farming and management of natural resources, through which they seek their physical and social reproduction as Amazonian autonomous peasant communities. We studied three family units of production, whose practices on their small agricultural fields and extractive activities on açaí (Euterpe oleracea Mart.), express local economic rules, which co- exist within hegemonic market economy. Participant and direct observation and open-ended interviews during their daily activities allowed us to record the history of the areas and gave us details about their productive decision-making processes. We also examined the historical and geographical contexts and the social relationships within and among the studied households. The intensification of market demands for açaí promoted not only interference on families’ relations to land, but also on the natural resource management. Despite these interferences, the articulation of farming and extractive activities promoted the diversification of their agricultural slash-and-burn fields, with varied combination of species throughout the seasons. Above all, the results show that, although extraction of açaí became more visible due to regional, national and international market demands, many less visible agricultural practices also ensure the autonomy of this Amazonian peasants community.

The research aims to analyze the environmental conflicts arising from the expansion of oil palm cultivation and the demarcation/titling of quilombola territories in the Pará Amazon. Despite advances in public policy on the environment and territorial planning, implemented based on guaranteeing the constitutional right to quilombo remnants, with the State of Pará preceding all others in recognizing the first quilombo in Brazil, in 1995, the study observed the decrease in the issuance of titles after the approval of the ecological-economic zoning for oil palm, starting in 2010. The theoretical framework of the research was outlined based on the literature on territorial management, quilombos territory and territoriality, territorial planning and conflicts environmental. Methodologically, the work followed a case study, as a strategy to understand questions of “how” and “why” the contemporary social phenomenon under study develops. The lengthy titling process is part of the context of the specific case analyzed, with the exposure of the problems faced by the quilombos community, located on the banks of the Acará River, on the border of the municipalities of Acará and Thailand, in the search for recognition and titling of the area in question. Dispute with palm oil company, which exemplifies the perennial conflicts in the Amazon between environmental public policies and economic development.
