“…En ese escenario, los inmigrantes haitianos están ocupando puestos de trabajos en cadenas de naturaleza "sucia", dadas sus históricas marcas en la producción de accidentes y agravios, como es el caso del sector de producción de carnes. El agronegocio ha generado una degradación social del trabajo, en el que elementos sociales, culturales y económicos conforman un entramado que crea corrientes invisibles que sujetan a los trabajadores a situaciones precarias y degradantes (9) . Los frigoríficos son una etapa importante de esa cadena del agronegocio.…”

“…Ciertos estudios señalan cómo los trabajadores inmigrantes son expuestos a los agrotóxicos, a la sobreexplotación y a las jornadas exhaustivas, que caracterizan las formas de trabajo esclavo contemporáneo (9,10,11) . La condición de inmigrante, sobre todo, la de los no documentados, genera una mayor vulnerabilidad a esas situaciones debido a los miedos que los silencian frente a los riesgos a los que están expuestos.…”

Se describen las relaciones entre inmigración, salud, trabajo y ambiente con el objetivo de analizar la inserción de inmigrantes haitianos en procesos productivos de Mato Grosso, destacando los riesgos para la salud y las vulnerabilidades socioambientales. Se trata de una investigación-acción desarrollada junto a la comunidad haitiana, organizaciones de la sociedad e instituciones del Estado. En 2014 y 2015 se aplicó un cuestionario a población haitiana de la ciudad de Cuiabá (capital del estado de Mato Grosso), para caracterizar sus condiciones de vida y trabajo. Además, se relevaron datos de distintas instituciones y el registro de empleadores que sometieron a trabajadores a condiciones de esclavitud contemporánea. Los resultados muestran 2.151 trabajadores haitianos registrados en el mercado formal de trabajo en 2014, distribuidos en 27 municipios de Mato Grosso. Dos sectores económicos se destacaron en la absorción de trabajadores haitianos: las industrias de transformación (principalmente frigoríficos) y la construcción civil. Entre los 452 haitianos entrevistados, el 52,7% estaba trabajando y el 26,5% mencionó una carga horaria semanal superior a 48 horas. El estudio indica la fragilidad de la inserción social de esta población, la cual se expresa en la presencia de haitianos en áreas y procesos productivos de alto riesgo socioambiental.

“…As several studies highlight (FERRANTE et al, 2010;PIETRAFESA, 2011;SILVA & MARTINS, 2010), although there are numerous conflicts in the sugarcane monoculture expansion zones, they have not had any repercussion on the national collective imaginary. For example, even though the research involved a considerable number of editions of Exame and Veja magazines covering a five-year period, only eight advertisements promoting the use and manufacturing of agrofuels were found, four in each publication.…”

This article aims to elucidate the strategies used in media discourses to create a favorable social imaginary of ethanol manufacturing, as well as to promote the environmentalization of production. Based on the analysis of advertisements, we seek to demonstrate how the meanings of nature conservation, combatting global warming, protecting biodiversity and producing clean energy are used. In a scenario of increasing environmental concern these elements have gained visibility and importance for consumers, businesses, governments and legislators. This paper suggests that the industry has produced a chimerical image of ethanol production which associates itself to the idea of sustainability, while obscuring the existence of conflicts.

“…Some authors emphasize the inadequate conditions of the sugarcane cutters, including labor exploitation; however, it is important to emphasize that sugarcane workers earn the second best wages in Brazilian agriculture . Even considering the harsh conditions faced by manual sugarcane cutters, some evolution in labor aspects—such as wages and educational level—have been occurring since 1975, which is explained mainly by the increase in mechanical harvesting during recent years, as shown in Figure .…”

Brazilian sugarcane ethanol: developments so far and challenges for the future

Sugarcane ethanol has been produced in Brazil since the early 20th century, but production increased in the mid‐1970s aiming at substituting 20% of the gasoline. Despite an increase in the 2000s production has been stable since 2008. This paper presents a review of the main developments achieved and future challenges. The sector has had positive economic and environmental results through technological development, as a result of research and development by private companies and strong public support. Sugarcane yield has steadily increased and positively impacted production costs, primarily due to better agronomic practices and breeding programs. Owing to environmental and economic reasons, there are on‐going programs to phase out burning, with the gradual replacement of manual harvest with burning by unburnt mechanised harvest. Important agronomic impacts are expected, caused by the large amount of straw left on the soil surface, which also represents a significant bioenergy potential. The sugarcane industry in Brazil has taken advantage of the combined production of sugar and ethanol, and, recently, many mills have enlarged their revenues with surplus electricity. The current efforts for diversification aim at ethanol production through hydrolysis of sugarcane residues and the development of chemical routes. From an environmental point of view, impacts related to land use change are expected on greenhouse emissions, water resources, and biodiversity. Ethanol production is likely to expand in Brazil due to the potential size of the domestic market and to the opportunities for exporting, but this will occur in a context of different and new challenges.
