“…Critics, however, view such assessments as "over-optimistic expectations," and argue that more often than not relations between companies and local communities are unilateral and exploitative, based in asymmetric power-relations and marked by contradictions between the companies' rhetoric and their business practices [49][50][51]. Although some processing steps in the market value chains take place locally, peasant farmers typically are the first actors in the production chain, and the profit captured by them is often limited, while the real profits accrue to the companies [52][53][54]. CCPs have divided expert opinion.…”

This study explores Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) production and company–community partnerships with the multinational cosmetic industry. The objectives are to critically assess: (1) how income generated from market-oriented NTFPs extraction impacts small farmers’ livelihoods; and (2) whether membership in cooperatives linked to such partnerships is a factor in improved livelihood. Household-level data from 282 surveys conducted in remote communities in four municipalities in the Northeast region of the State of Pará provide empirical insight into NTFPs extraction and processing activities by smallholder farmers in the Brazilian Amazon. We employ a spatial econometric approach to assess if engagement in NTFPs extraction and membership in cooperatives result in statistically significant increases in the overall household income. A series of spatial regression models are used, including Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Spatial Autoregressive Regression (SAR), Spatial Error Model (SEM), Spatial Durbin Model (SDM) and their corresponding alternative Bayesian models. Our study finds that NTFP extraction and membership in cooperatives tied to company–community partnerships are statistically significant and result in increases in total income at the household level. Findings also show that distance to transportation modes and markets are statistically significant with more distant households earning greater income. This finding presents challenges for the long-term sustainability of green alternatives to development that rely on remote, inaccessible environments for the commodities of interest. This is especially pronounced given the commitment of the Amazonian Nations, and the massive national and international investments, in the Initiative for the Integration of Regional Infrastructure in South America (IIRSA), which has as its goal the creation of a multimodal transportation hub to integrate the continent with global markets and make accessible far reaches of the Amazon.

[these are] the three pillars of sustainable development."…”

“…Barbosa de Almeida et al (2018) note that the economic return of extractivist activities floats according to the variations of the national and international markets, which are outside of the control of the forest families. Furthermore, Drummond and De Souza (2016) explain that the extractivist economy normally sells products in natura or with minimum processing, thus transferring to other regions the added value from the stages of industrial transformation, commercialization, marketing, transport, etc. of the intermediary and final products.…”

The disarticulation of traditional extractionism in the 1960s led to serious socio-economic and environmental problems in the Amazon. The Extractive Reserves (RESEX) arose as a sustainable development alternative for the region. However, the unique challenges in extractive activities – such as native rubber – continue to result in difficulties with economic viability since the market fails to capture the environmental attributes of the forests. These failures may impact the maintenance of eco-systemic services. The payments for environmental services, such as the environmental certification, arise as a way to compensate those who carry out environmental services. The general aim of this study is to evaluate the environmental valuation in the price formation of the rubber productive chain in the state of Acre. We work with the methodology of price formation through trade margin indicators (Markup) and Effective Appropriation according to the structure of the market circuits of the rubber productive chain in the region. Our results indicate that the extractivists of the Chico Mendes RESEX obtained, in the period of 2018/2019, a level of remuneration for their environmental services which may lead to economic viability in rubber production. However, from the standpoint of maintenance of environmental services – as well as the maintenance of the families of the extractivists – that remuneration is still not enough for an effective environmental valuation.

“…essência desse fato reside na heterogeneidade de agentes e complexidade das interações homem/natureza que caracterizam o potencial dinâmico da região, construindo um ambiente fértil para repensar possibilidades de uso da biodiversidade.

O artigo tem por objetivo identificar o atual cenário do ecossistema de inovação para a bioeconomia no estado do Pará, com base nos índices de desenvolvimento sustentável das cidades, idealizados pela ONU, tendo como objetos de estudo as mesorregiões paraenses. Seguindo uma metodologia quantitativa pautada nos dados percentuais obtidos na plataforma IDSC-BR, extraindo-se a média aritmética dos valores para fins comparativos, observou-se um importante potencial sustentável que padece frente à inércia institucional local, fato que trava o desenvolvimento sustentável regional. Conclui-se, então, com iniciativas recomendadas para a promoção do desenvolvimento social e tecnológico direcionados à razão da bioeconomia.
