The revelation of the negative aspects of modernization in agriculture upon
women, men and the environment, brought up the need to develop alternative ways of food
production establishing new relations with local eco-systems. In this view, the Agroecology
has an important contribution because it relates the technological model to the productive
aspects, environmental, social and economic, including gender relationships. This study
analyses production and reproduction strategies of familial agriculture, identifying
potentialities and limits for the development of sustainable agro systems and to the fair
gender relationship. This strategies research was made among land workers (men and
women), from the region of Abaetetuba – Pará, participants of the Center – “Tecnologias
Alternativas Tipiti”. With the result of this research, we found out that the familial
agricultural strategies turn to the construction of the agroecologic sustainability instead of the
gender equality. This is because of the poor understanding that the transformation of the
technological standard has to be related to men and women performance and social position,
and that themselves are able to change. We hope to help this process with this study.
