Modelos agropecuários no oeste catarinense: dos povos tradicionais aos integrados das agroindústrias

Abstract

No referido estudo o objetivo central, será discorrer sobre o “desenvolvimento” do modelo de produção agropecuária da região Oeste do Estado de Santa Catarina. Sob efeito disto, torna-se necessário lançar a pesquisa, a qual foi realizada bibliograficamente, em direção ao povoamento ocorrido na região supracitada. Vão ser dados três enfoques ao povoamento e sua relação com os distintos modos de produção agropecuária. O primeiro enfoque será direcionado sobre os nativos desta terra, os quais já a povoavam muito antes da vinda dos europeus, e em seguida os caboclos, que eram de origem luso-brasileira. Por último a vinda dos descendentes de europeus com as suas técnicas de cultivo e formas de organização, assim como, a influência das empresas colonizadoras na divisão das terras. Outros dois pontos importantes são: o “desenvolvimento” do modelo agropecuário em nossa região sob a influência dos interesses do mercado neoliberal representado pela agroindústria, e as alternativas para a construção de um novo modelo agropecuário. Conclui-se que é possível estabelecer um novo modelo de produção na região de estudo, tendo em vista a diversidade de experiências que já fazem parte do histórico da economia solidária e da agroecologia no Oeste Catarinense.

Spatial patterns and epidemiological characterization of suicides in the Chapecó micro-region, Santa Catarina, Brazil: an ecological study, 1996-2018

“… 6 These factors suggest a relationship with the spatial cluster of high suicide risk identified in the present study: a large part of the population of the municipalities located in the southwest of the Chapecó micro-region are descendents of European immigrants (Germans, Italians, Poles), coming originally from the state of Rio Grande do Sul and who continue undertaking similar economic activities. 20 …”

“… 25 Family farming is a striking reality in western Santa Catarina. 20 Another important factor related to the rural environment is the presence of pesticides, whereby inappropriate use, without appropriate personal protective equipment, ease of access to them and their being lethal suggest an association between depression symptoms and suicide among the population residing in these areas. 1 , 26 Between 2000 and 2012, 40% of suicides due to poisoning in Brazil resulted from use of pesticides.…”

Potential cultivation areas of Euterpe edulis (Martius) for rainforest recovery, repopulation and açai production in Santa Catarina, Brazil

“…Historically, agriculture in the western region of Santa Catarina changed from an agroecological subsistence system practiced by traditional communities (indigenous and caboclos) to a capitalist model implemented by European immigrants from Germany, Italy, and Poland 38 . After colonization, wood exploitation was one of the main economic activities of the state.…”

“…From the 1960s to now, the model based on increasing grain productivity (soybean and corn) and the expansion of pig, poultry and dairy farming contributed to deforestation, soil degradation 37 , 38 and, mainly, the reduction in water sources and contamination 39 . Currently, both floristic composition and fauna hold predominance as secondary species, a fact that illustrates the historic exploitation and degradation of deciduous seasonal forest in the state 40 .…”
