Resumo: This article discusses the food question in light of the recent debates about agrofuels and other green agricultural technologies. In this sense, it illustrates, on one hand, the position in favor of a biocivilization based on new technologies which would allow the conciliation of food production and other materials such as agrofuels; on the other hand, a skeptical view about these technologies since they are related to the modern industrial model of agriculture, which goes against the notions of sustainability and the food question. Hereafter, it analyzes these divergences based on the Brazilian case, inquiring the relations between the way to a biocivilization and in what extent the international market of biomass could affect the food production in Brazil. Finally, it presents two examples of agroecological projects which aim to harmony both the agroenergy and food production, in order to solve the apparent inherent contradiction between energy and food. Likewise, it concludes that this alleged contradiction is rooted in a capitalist model of production, and therefore, other agricultures and ways of production are possible.

Nesse sentido, ilustra-se, de um lado, os posicionamentos a favor de uma biocivilização baseado em novas tecnologias que perimitiram a conciliação entre a produção de alimentos e de outros materiais como agrocombustíveis; do outro, um ceticismo em relação às mesmas uma vez que estão associadas ao modelo de agricultura industrial moderno contraditório com as noções de sustentabilidade e a questão alimentar. Em seguida, analisa-se essas divergências com base no caso da agricultura brasileira, explorando-se a relação entre um rumo à biocivilização e em que medida o mercado internacional de biomassa pode estar impactando na produção de alimentos. Por fim, apresenta-se dois exemplos agroecológicos que visam a conciliação entre a produção de agroenergia e alimentos, num esforço de relativização de uma contradição inerente entre energia e alimento. E assim, conclui-se que essa suposta contradição está associada a um modelo capitalista de produção, e que outras agriculturas e modos de vida são possíveis.Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro2017-06-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer reviewedRevisado por paresAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://revistaideas.ufrrj.br/ojs/index.php/ideas/article/view/144Revista IDeAS; Vol. 9 No. 1 (2015): janeiro a junho de 2015; 3-26Revista IDeAS; Vol. 9 Núm. 1 (2015): janeiro a junho de 2015; 3-26Revista IDeAS; v. 9 n. 1 (2015): janeiro a junho de 2015; 3-261984-98341982-257Xreponame:Revista IDEAS (Online)instname:Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ)instacron:UFRRJporhttps://revistaideas.ufrrj.br/ojs/index.php/ideas/article/view/144/143Copyright (c) 2017 Hugo de Carvalho Ferreirahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFerreira, Hugo de Carvalho2020-07-28T12:53:25Zoai:ojs.revistaideas.ufrrj.br:article/144Revistahttps://revistaideas.ufrrj.br/ojs/index.php/ideasPUBhttps://revistaideas.ufrrj.br/ojs/index.php/ideas/oairevistaideas@gmail.com||1984-98341982-257Xopendoar:2020-07-28T12:53:25Revista IDEAS (Online) - Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ)false
