Perspectivas comparadas da construção da agroecologia no Distrito Federal e Mato Grosso

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the process of agroecology construction in the Federal District and Mato Grosso. To this end, a survey of the theoretical framework was first carried out, which covered ecological economics, institutional issues, family farming, and finally agroecology. In the second moment, the path taken for the implementation of agroecology in the case studies was analyzed. In the second moment, the path taken for the implementation of agroecology in the case studies was analyzed. The construction of agroecology in the Federal District can be understood as the mobilization of a network of public action through actors who managed to unite in developing public action in favor of agroecology and organic production, in a certain way structured from 1980 to the present day. In the case of Mato Grosso, the state has a notorious insufficiency with regard to public policies for the promotion of Agroecology as well as subsistence family farming. In the state, there is an institutional matrix increasingly focused on exports, leaving aside an institutional thinking aimed at stimulating domestic production and consumption.
