Do political changes aimed at reducing Amazonian deforestation contribute to ecological intensification?

Extensive livestock farming was the driver of agricultural colonization and territorial structuring in the Amazon. Since 2008, Amazonian agriculture has been facedwith radical changes in Brazilian policies concerning agricultural land use and the preservation of forest areas. The very viability of l...

Cialdella, Nathalie Carvalho, Soraya Vaz, Vania Barbosa, Tienne Thâles, Marcelo Mourão, Moises Poccard-Chapuis, René Tourrand, Jean-François Brazil Amazonia ecological intensification livestock raising family farming public policy. CNPQ::CIENCIAS AGRARIAS Extensive livestock farming was the driver of agricultural colonization and territorial structuring in the Amazon. Since 2008, Amazonian agriculture has been facedwith radical changes in Brazilian policies concerning agricultural land use and the preservation of forest areas. The very viability of livestock systems is threatened and there is thus an urgent need for feasible alternatives to enable the development of sustainable agriculture. Some alternatives are currently being tested by public extension services and private operators. The question is, can these alternatives really be considered as ecological intensification? Defined as ecologically friendly agricultural development, this new trend of intensification aims to reconcile cattle ranching and the protection of Amazon forest ecosystems.Our analysis, based on three contrastedmunicipalities in Pará State, focuses on the points of view of different stakeholders in the livestock sector. Results showthe dominance of classical intensification among the alternatives envisaged, but it is an option that small family farmers cannot easily afford. Alternatives based on land sharing, which promotes agricultural production and environmental preservation on the same areas, are less well known and will require more coordination among local actors. A pecuária extensiva foi o motor da colonização agrícola e da estruturação territorial na Amazônia. Desde 2008, a agricultura amazônica tem enfrentado mudanças radicais nas políticas brasileiras relativas ao uso de terras agrícolas e à preservação de áreas florestais. A própria viabilidade dos sistemas pecuários está ameaçada e, portanto, existe necessidade urgente de alternativas viáveis para permitir o desenvolvimento de agricultura. Algumas alternativas estão sendo testadas atualmente por serviços públicos de extensão e operadores privados. A questão é, essas alternativas podem realmente ser consideradas intensificação ecológica? Definido como desenvolvimento agrícola ecologicamente correto, esta nova tendência de intensificação visa conciliar a pecuária e a proteção Ecossistemas florestais da Amazônia.Nossa análise, baseada em três municípios contrastantes do Pará Estado, enfoca os pontos de vista das diferentes partes interessadas no setor pecuário. Os resultados mostram o predomínio da intensificação clássica entre as alternativas previstas, mas é uma opção que os pequenos agricultores familiares não podem arcar facilmente. Alternativas baseadas em partilha de terra, que promove a produção agrícola e a preservação ambiental nas mesmas áreas, são menos conhecidas e exigirão mais coordenação entre os atores locais. 2018-12-21T14:28:33Z 2018-09-20 2018-12-21T14:28:33Z 2015 Artigo de Periódico 1166-7699 http://repositorio.museu-goeldi.br/handle/mgoeldi/1353 eng Cahiers Agricultures Acesso Aberto application/pdf Museu Paraense Emilio Goeldi Brasil MPEG
