Agroecossistemas Amazônicos: pluriatividade do trabalho nas Unidades de Agricultura Familiar

Abstract

The present research sought to analyze the pluriactivity of the work and the dynamics of agroecosystems in the family agriculture units. It describes the environmental history of these agroecosystems, identifying work processes and pluriactivity. It describes the dynamics of pluriactive work as a strategy of work countermobility and conservation in agroecosystems. From the perspective of the dialectic approach of systemic complexity and making use of the case study, in 23 families in these communities. The methodological procedures corresponded to the collection of secondary data; pre-test and field, from interviews via questionnaire, field diary, mental maps and satellite images for data comparison. The diagnosis was made in parallel to the field through triangulation of data, different sources (analysis) and prognosis via tabulation and creation of graphs and tables. The results showed that in Paru and Calado there have been environmental transformations of a family farming community that produced in consonance, configuring strategies for coexistence of new realities in the metropolitan region of Manaus, among them, pluriactivity stands out as a cause and the consequence of counter-mobility of work, driving the farmers' come and go. This dynamic demonstrates resistance to capitalist pressures to occupy rural areas in a recursive mobility, for although there are transformations in the way of living and production, farmers persist in conserving agroecosystems and feel part of it, maintaining environmental sustainability.
