Throughout the nineteenth century, the Paraiba Valley passed through a set of spatial changes driven by the exporting coffee cultivation. The environmental history suggests that nature must be integrated into the historical analysis developed by scholars in the past. Therein lies the search of understanding the interaction dynamics between society and natural environment through the techniques used in the coffee growing in the Paraiba Valley during the nineteenth century, aiming to analyze the factors that influenced the design process of this crop there, as well as its impact to that natural environment. The following research also intends to understand the way people from that society noticed and took their position on farming techniques that used to be applied and about the environmental interections driven by coffee cultivation.
