Resumo: | This study addresses some aspects of the complex relationship between agricultural production and food security from the perspective of Environmental Justice. Literature Review about the topic was chosen as a methodology. Did the vast expansion of arable areas really ensured greater food security for everybody as it defends the hegemonic discourse? What are the social and environmental costs of the maintenance of the current agricultural model based on monoculture and intensive use of chemical pesticides? This form of land exploitation has been the target of severe criticism by imposing a costly picture of environmental destruction, and its damage affects certain social groups disproportionately. The small farmers continue losing space for the "industrial" agricultural production, which causes the perpetuation of the cycle of concentration of income, rural exodus, social exclusion and poverty. Governmental incentives to small family farming and ecological farming practices can be a viable alternative to food production in order to ensure food and nutritional security, giving more consideration to the environment, noting the principles offered by Environmental Justice. |

Adotou-se como metodologia a revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema. A vasta expansão das áreas agricultáveis realmente garantiu maior segurança alimentar a todos, como defende o discurso hegemônico? Quais são os custos sociais e ambientais da manutenção do atual modelo agrícola, baseado na monocultura e no uso intensivo de defensivos químicos? Essa forma de exploração da terra vem sendo alvo de severas críticas, por impor um oneroso quadro de destruição ambiental, cujos danos afetam de forma desproporcional determinados grupos sociais. Os pequenos produtores rurais continuam perdendo espaço para a produção agrícola “industrial”, perpetuando um ciclo de concentração de renda, êxodo rural, exclusão social e pobreza. Os incentivos governamentais à pequena agricultura familiar e às práticas agrícolas ecológicas podem ser uma alternativa viável para uma produção de alimentos que garanta segurança alimentar e nutricional, com maior respeito ao meio ambiente e observando os princípios oferecidos pela justiça ambiental.Editora Dom Helder2016-01-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://revista.domhelder.edu.br/index.php/veredas/article/view/28010.18623/rvd.v12i24.280Veredas do Direito; Vol. 12 No. 24 (2015): Veredas do Direito – Direito Ambiental e Desenvolvimento Sustentável; 375-400Veredas do Direito; Vol. 12 Núm. 24 (2015): Veredas do Direito – Direito Ambiental e Desenvolvimento Sustentável; 375-400Veredas do Direito – Direito Ambiental e Desenvolvimento Sustentável; v. 12 n. 24 (2015): Veredas do Direito – Direito Ambiental e Desenvolvimento Sustentável; 375-4002179-8699reponame:Veredas do Direito (Online)instname:Escola Superior Dom Helder Câmara (ESDHC)instacron:ESDECporhttp://revista.domhelder.edu.br/index.php/veredas/article/view/280/466Copyright (c) 2016 Veredas do Direito: Direito Ambiental e Desenvolvimento Sustentávelinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBrauner, Maria Cláudia CrespoGraff, Laíse2020-09-21T11:46:21Zoai:revista.domhelder.edu.br:article/280Revistahttp://revista.domhelder.edu.br/index.php/veredasPRIhttp://revista.domhelder.edu.br/index.php/veredas/oaiveredas@domhelder.edu.br2179-86991806-3845opendoar:2020-09-21T11:46:21Veredas do Direito (Online) - Escola Superior Dom Helder Câmara (ESDHC)false |
