Mundialization of agriculture and the use of agrotoxics in the city of Guaranésia - MG

Abstract

The massive use of agrotoxic also impacts the economy, appropriating the agricultural profit of small farmers, since part of the capital is destined to the purchase of this type of inputs. , it can be seen that our agricultural space is a portrait of the subordination of Brazilian agriculture to international capital since the implementation of the Green Revolution occurred through the imposition of agrotoxic industries with the strong presence of the incentive made by the Brazilian government whose inputs are traded, mainly by transnational corporations. In this perspective taking into account the increasing use of pesticides, cases of river contamination, the submission of farmers to the use of these products, the pressure exerted by cooperatives and the south of Minas Gerais to be a large coffee producing region in the country (known for widespread use of pesticides) this reflection is justified by seeking to understand the globalization of agriculture and the territorialization of the use of agrotoxic and consequently the socioeconomic impacts on family farming, thus being able to elucidate the agrarian reality in the municipality of Guaranésia-MG as well as in national scene.
