“…The perceived positive impacts were associated with the presence of springs and fertile soil, which usually favors agriculture and pasture production, and is a positive outcome, given that soil ecosystem services are generally undermined (Latawiec et al, 2021). However, silting, flooding, and degraded soil were negative impacts often mentioned by the groups, perceived as result of the retification and lack of riparian forest cover along the São João river, the use of pesticides and extensive pastureland over the years, which corroborates with the regional literature (Ribeiro et al, 2018;SISAGUA, 2018;Silva et al, 2020). Being aware that there is a direct relation between reducing the risks of environmental disasters and the presence of riparian vegetation is a promising sign for future adoption of restoration initiatives by local stakeholders.…”

“…This not only validates our hypothesis 4 but highlights the synergies between FLR and agroecological approaches (Latawiec et al, 2018;Mansourian et al, 2019;Tubenchlak et al, 2021). The ecological management of these agroecosystems play an important role in promoting local food security (SDG 2) and reducing health problems derived from pesticides intoxication (SDG 3) (Silva et al, 2020;Tubenchlak et al, 2021); while also contributing to pollination and soil fertility, which are important ES for agriculture, perceived and mapped by the participants of this study.…”

“…Additionally, the lack of basic sanitation and high use of pesticides contributes to the deterioration and pollution of the São João river. As a result, health problems have been detected among rural producers, especially in the municipality of Casimiro de Abreu (Brust et al, 2019;Silva et al, 2020). There are 988 rural properties registered in the APA SJ (SICAR, 2020), but only 60% of landowners live in the properties.…”

Local Perception in Forest Landscape Restoration Planning: A Case Study From the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

et al. 2021

Understanding local stakeholders' perception and their relation with the landscape and its natural resources is an important step for successfully implementing Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR). Here, we present a case study on FLR in the context of a global biodiversity hotspot—the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, using a participatory approach to include local stakeholders' knowledge and perception of the landscape into project planning. We analyzed the land use and cover, and organized a workshop with focus group methodology associated with maps and other visual representations to assess local perceptions of economic activities, production chains and their impacts on the landscape and ecosystem services. The study area encompasses seven municipalities mainly covered by native vegetation and pastures. Despite pastureland being the prominent land use in the region, they are not engaged in associations, most do not live in the region, and few participated in the workshop. Most participants were small and medium-scale landowners involved in agricultural activities who demonstrated a detailed knowledge of the territory, a disposition toward combining conservation with production practices, and a positive perception regarding ecotourism, agroecological approaches, water, and soil conservation. The participatory approach proved effective to complement the initial assessment while revealing novel aspects of the landscape and the landowners, helping test our hypotheses and adjust the engaging narratives for future FLR activities planning in the region, including environmental law compliance. More studies associating social and natural science, including participatory methods and local communities' perception, are needed to fully comprehend the drivers of stakeholders' engagement. This case study provides useful insights for other researchers and practitioners to design more effective plans for future land management.

“…A exposição por absorção dérmica também foi relatada pelas comunidades analisadas, sendo associada pelos trabalhadores às atividades de manejo, mistura e aplicação dos venenos nas lavouras, bem como ao contato direto da pele do trabalhador com as plantações contaminadas durante a etapa de corte manual e colheita da cana-de-açúcar. A exposição dérmica aos agrotóxicos é a via mais corriqueira associada às intoxicações ocupacionais, sendo a prevalência de sintomas significativamente mais elevado (p-valor = 0,032) no grupo de trabalhadores que não fazem uso da roupa impermeável 50 .…”

RESUMO O presente estudo teve por objetivo analisar a exposição aos agrotóxicos e os danos à saúde dos trabalhadores das plantações de cana-de-açúcar em Pernambuco. Trata-se de pesquisa participante desenvolvida em territórios rurais de cinco municípios com forte expressão em área plantada de cana-de-açúcar. Os dados primários foram produzidos em oficinas com trabalhadores rurais para construção de diagnóstico rural participativo, analisados mediante condensação de significados e interpretados à luz do referencial teórico da epidemiologia crítico latino-americana. Os resultados estão apresentados em três seções: i) Fluxograma do trabalho nas plantações de cana-de-açúcar; ii) Exposição aos agrotóxicos utilizados nas lavouras; iii) Danos à saúde do trabalhador. Conclui-se que a exposição permanente aos agrotóxicos envolve o trabalho nas plantações de cana-de-açúcar e emerge de um construto histórico e socioambiental, em que se encontram subsumidos os modos de vida dos territórios sob o domínio do agronegócio canavieiro. Recomendam-se políticas públicas de fomento à agricultura familiar com diversificação, escoamento e distribuição da produção agroecológica, além do fortalecimento da Atenção Primária à Saúde e de ações integradas de vigilância epidemiológica, sanitária, ambiental e do trabalhador.

“…Exposure by dermal absorption was also reported by the communities analyzed, associated by workers with handling, mixing, and applying poisons to crops and direct contact between the worker's skin and contaminated crops during the sugar cane manual cutting and harvesting. Dermal exposure to pesticides is the most common route associated with occupational poisoning, with the prevalence of symptoms significantly high (p-value = 0.032) in the group of workers who do not use waterproof clothing 50 .…”

This study aims to analyze exposure to pesticides and harm to the health of workers on sugarcane plantations in Pernambuco. This participatory research was conducted in rural territories of five municipalities with a strong presence in sugarcane-planted areas. The primary data were produced in workshops with rural workers to construct a participatory rural diagnosis, analyzed through condensation of meanings, and interpreted in light of the theoretical framework of Latin American critical epidemiology. The results are presented in three sections: i) Flowchart of work on sugarcane plantations; ii) Exposure to pesticides used on crops; iii) Harm to worker’s health. We conclude that permanent exposure to pesticides involves working on sugarcane plantations and emerges from a historical and socio-environmental construct in which the ways of life of the territories under the control of sugarcane agribusiness are subsumed. Public policies are recommended to promote family farming with diversification, flow, distribution of agroecological production, and strengthening primary health care and integrated epidemiological, health, environmental, and worker surveillance actions.
