O Dimensionamento das trajetórias tecnológicas de base agrária na Região Tocantina e suas implicações para o desenvolvimento local

Abstract

The usual pattern of the rural capitalist development in Amazônia is based on the agricultural paradigm and on technologic employment paths, which are anchored to traditional institutions which reverts its favor to benefit of public politics for the rural segment expressed by the volume of credit accessed by these agents, while at the same time the usual pattern verified the existence of farming structures with a rationality opposite to those of the employer and with a different technological path, which participates with a representation of the rural production value, employing a larger volume of manpower and having a more efficient use of the resources at its disposal. The technological farming paths backed by the agro-forestry paradigm represented in the Tocantina Region as an alternative for sustainable development in the area and in this way, object and challenge the formation of public politics for the rural sector. So, development with social equity, ecological balance and economical efficiency in the Tocantina Region, would necessarily go through the incentives of technological procedures of farming and for changes in the institutional base that legalizes the current model.
