“…Even though this work does not allow to do a deep analysis about degradation of the Cerrado and advancement of agribusiness in the region of quilombola communities included in this study, in general, studies have shown that areas of native vegetation are deforested for the planting of monocultures, almost always with massive use of agrochemicals, and intensive livestock farming, and also large areas for beef production [22] . Souza and Chaveiro (2019) showed in their recent study conducted with a quilombola community of Tocantins that territorial and environmental problems cannot be dissociated when it comes to quilombola communities. The expansion of agricultural crops progressively traps uncertified quilombola communities and promotes changes in climate, water, fauna and flora, in society and economic and cultural changes.…”

“…The expansion of agricultural crops progressively traps uncertified quilombola communities and promotes changes in climate, water, fauna and flora, in society and economic and cultural changes. These factor forces communities to modify their way of life, thus compromising sociobiodiversity with mutual benefits and the autonomy of these peoples who seek to guarantee their own space and existence [23] .…”

The aims of this study were to explore the qualitative food consumption and to investigate the use of native fruits of the Brazilian Cerrado biome by quilombola communities of Goiás, Brazil. Data collection was performed through interviews with leaders of communities who participated in the I Meeting of Health and Quality of Life of Quilombola Communities of Goiás. It was identified a food consumption restricted to basic items with recurrent presence of rice, pumpkin, potato, okra, banana, cassava, corn, beans, sesame, peanuts and castor oil in the usual diet. The presence of Cerrado fruits in sweets, liqueurs, canned and some salty recipes was identified, being the main, pequi, mangaba, baru, jatobá and cagaita. There was a reduction in the consumption of several native fruits, but at the same time, it was identified that there is a recognition by the communities regarding the importance of the use and preservation of these foods and quilombola eating practices. It reinforces the importance of actions to rescue and enhance the quilombola food culture, which dialogue with food and nutritional security and with the local development of the communities.

“…the Landless Farmers Movement) were established and international awareness was raised. Consequently, academic research on the socioenvironmental impact of Brazilian farming and, in general, on its sustainability was fostered (Mckay & Nehring, 2014;Richards, 2015;Souza & Chaveiro, 2019). Sustainability can be analyzed with the triple bottom line concept («TBL»), which evaluates the financial, social, and environmental performance of organizations.…”

Over the last 30 years, extensive areas of Cerrado, the Brazilian savannah, have been converted to export-oriented agribusinesses. The social, environmental and economic impact of such large-scale land-use conversion is massive. To understand whether the current farming development in the Cerrado is sustainable, this study analyzes the sustainability performance of single farms applying the triple bottom line approach. Its aim is to assess the sustainability of soy, family and agroforestry farms. Fifteen farms were analyzed through the indicator-based sustainability assessment tool «RISE». The sustainability scores of RISE themes revealed that soy farms are economically sustainable, while their socio-environmental sustainability degree is rather critical. They scored lower than the other two farm types in all RISE themes except in the «economic viability» and «water use». Family farms and agroforestry are environmentally sustainable according to RISE.The sustainability degree of their social themes is either critical or scarcely positive mainly due to the high number of working hours and the low wage and income level. Looking at the economic sustainability, family farms reached a critical degree and agroforestry farms a barely positive degree. While the difference of sustainability performance between soy farms and the two others is large, it is minimal between agroforestry and family farms. RISE was a valid tool to assess with a moderate amount of data the sustainability performance of highly diverse farm types in the Cerrado.

Em um segundo momento, por estarem localizadas na linha de frente das mudanças ambientais que transcorrem no campo, impulsionadas pela retirada da vegetação, pela superexploração dos recursos hídricos e pelo emprego de produtos químicos perigosos, com vistas a se obter índices crescentes de produtividade estipulados pelo conjunto de agentes envolvido nesse mercado (SOUZA; CHAVEIRO, 2019).…”

Este texto traz uma abordagem sobre as ameaças impostas pelo avanço do agronegócio e de seu modelo produtivo sobre a diversidade biológica e sociocultural do Cerrado. Como principal propósito, buscou-se enfatizar os efeitos negativos sobre as diferentes comunidades humanas (indígenas, povos tradicionais e camponeses) que habitam o domínio do Cerrado no estado do Tocantins, constituindo nele seus territórios e fonte de vida, tanto no sentido material quanto simbólico.
