The article shows possibilities of change. At the same time, demonstrates the obstacles to overcome. Starting from the observation of the agrarian economy of the region as a totality in motion, establishes the foundation of this development on six technological trajectories, explaining the asymmetries of capacity between them in context of their relations with the institutions. Among these, special focus is led to the mediations which ensure the production and market for land.porAcesso AbertoDinâmica econômicaEconomia agráriaTrajetórias tecnológicasAmazônia brasileiraArtigo de Periódico
