Abstract:Este texto apresenta um estudo de revisão bibliográfica sobre as atividades realizadas com base na noção de Agroecologia em terras indígenas de diferentes regiões brasileiras. Foram identificadas 92 publicações que retratam iniciativas e projetos envolvendo diversas em terras indígenas, etnias e instituições. Esta produção acadêmica foi analisada a partir de uma classificação em sete temas: práticas agrícolas; agrobiodiversidade; sistemas agroflorestais; manejo florestal e extrativismo; organização social e po… Show more
“…The increase in local density is one of the reasons for reducing the fallow time. The negative impacts of this more intense use of the land, according to Norder et al (2019), include lower soil fertility and reduced cultivation of some plants, such as rice and other cultivars.…”

Modern agricultural practices have caused severe impacts on nature, especially in traditional communities such as indigenous peoples, leading to the loss of knowledge about traditional agriculture. The objective of this study was to carry out a bibliographical survey of works on indigenous agriculture in Brazil in the period between 2011 and 2021. Papers in the form of thesis, dissertations and abstracts were excluded, as well as articles that, despite including the term indigenous agriculture in the text, did not address the subject as the main theme. The selected articles were analyzed in order to determine the main agricultural practices used by indigenous people in Brazil. Data analysis took place in a qualitative manner. The analyzed studies covered 69 ethnic groups and 87 ethnospecies were used in in their agriculture. Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) stood out as the most important species. The plantations are established in backyards, on the outskirts of the village or in coivara (slash-and-burn) fields. The choice of location for the fields and the planting of species are based on the traditional knowledge of each ethnic group. Cutting, burning, planting, cleaning, and harvesting actions are generally governed by the seasons. Religious influences are also cited in some ethnicities. The analysis of the word cloud presents the main themes addressed in the publications and demonstrates the undeniable link between issues involving the environment and the traditional knowledge when the central theme is indigenous peoples. The works suggest that many ethnic groups preserve their traditional agricultural practices, however the influence and changes caused by the arrival of modern agriculture are also perceived and caused an impact on the eating habits of several ethnic groups.

“…Respecting the specificities of each group, the initiatives aimed to create sustainable and adapted productive systems, sustainable forest management and the formation of agroforestry systems. Mainly, this refers to the adoption of participatory and dialogic methods, aimed at empowering communities, reflection on gender relations, youth, the improvement of eating habits and environmental management, with reorientation in the fields of education and extension (NORDER et al, 2019).…”

“…Several reported initiatives have operated based on field days, on-farm demonstrations of restoration of degraded areas, hands-on management of agroforestry systems, seed exchange fairs, incentives for and protection of cultural expressions, etc. (NORDER et al, 2019;CAMPOS;GODOY;SILVA, 2018;QUEIROZ, 2013). Potentially, indigenous community members may benefit from these initiatives, by appropriating knowledge, strengthening local capacities and obtaining some advantage (PORTER, 1985), associated with fostering rural enterprises or enhancing food security and food sovereignty (MARKHAM; KERINS, 2020;ROGERS et al, 2018).…”

The aim of this study is to contribute to the characterization of the traditional food gardens and livelihood in Guarani Kaiowá peoples and discuss implications for extension services and development projects. The study was carried out in the Panambizinho indigenous territory, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Eleven families in the indigenous community (IC) were visited over one year. Particular characteristics, needs and management of the food gardens are revealed. The discussion covers several topics identified through the field visits, including specificities and pressures faced by ICs in Brazil. Keeping and prospecting for agroecological systems seems a positive strategy because this does not substantially interfere with or change their current way of life. Therefore, agroecological systems are a pathway to sustainable production, food security, health and quality of life in ICs. Implications for extension services and development projects are discussed while contextualizing economic, political and social challenges.
“…Agricultural practices developed by Indigenous peoples are not only considered management techniques, but also part of their lifestyle, traditions, spirituality, and religious beliefs (14). For example, the Mbyá people, from the Yryapu Indigenous lands, in the municipality of Palmares, Rio Grande do Sul, grow a wide variety of foods, such as cassava, beans, corn, watermelon, and others (14). The fact that several associated cultures coexist prevents soil depletion.…”

“…The fact that several associated cultures coexist prevents soil depletion. Furthermore, Norder et al (14) have indicated that the preservation of forests has been identified as essential for the cultural, social, and religious traditions of Indigenous peoples, and low-impact techniques demonstrate the extent to which soil is essential for food production. Therefore, these practices make the relationship between agriculture and the environment harmonious in Indigenous society.…”
The use of telehealth is growing as an auxiliary tool for urbanized societies in the propagation of teaching and health care for Indigenous communities. However, little has been discussed regarding the potential applicability as an instrument for the propagation of Indigenous cultural traditions that positively impact the health and well-being of their communities, whose organizational habits influence the containment of climate change, or be it, conditions that favor the global health of the planet. The methodology that was used to choose which practices would be analyzed was based on the systematization carried out in 2019 by the United Nations. Articles published in the last five years were selected in order to ensure that the discussion would be guided by contemporary perspectives. We sought to enumerate some of the consequences that climate change may have for different social groups over the coming few decades and to report the agricultural practices of Brazilian Indigenous peoples, who apply sustainable methodologies in their daily lives, with habits that have been passed down from generation to generation. These practices could be propagated to urbanized industrial communities by means of the multiplication of an original telehealth program created and transmitted by Indigenous peoples, based on their millenary knowledge about sustainable community health.
