Diversificação dos sistemas produtivos familiares: reflexões sobre as relações sociedade-natureza na Amazônia Oriental

Abstract

This article weaves some reflections on the relations society-nature in the Amazon region from the changes for the diversification that is taking place in the south-east from Pará. Leaving from a glance on the ways of the agriculture, it was tried to situate like the types of relations with nature they infl uenced the forms of exploration adopted in the region and what these changes mean in terms of the relations between farmers and the natural environment. The text discusses the principal elements and motivations that are in the constitution of this process of diversification, establishing a relation of the same thing with the capacity of adaptation and with the change of projects of the farmers in the sense of the permanence. In this sense, it seems to this change to illustrate the existence of the same process of relative stabilization of the farmers, already identified in other frontiers.
