The present work results from the maturity achieved throughout the researches, from 1996 to 2000, in Rio de Janeiro s northwest by the Agriculture and Environment Study Group, integrated to the Climatology and Meteorology Department of the State University of Rio de Janeiro. In this approach, the attention turns to the city of Friburgo, Rio de Janeiro s Highland Region, where the horticulture, significant regional economic activity, is traditionally practiced by the small production in productive units, formed by small proprietors or sharecroppers. The work aims at identifying the succession of ways of the small production in the Rio Grande s high valley and its most important tributaries of the Campo do Coelho District, avoiding neglecting the historical factors of the Rio de Janeiro s Highland Region occupation, that point to an existence of distinct periods of predominance of a peasant agriculture and a capitalist agriculture. We will focus the research on the last forty years. The study brings with it concerns about narrowing the relationship between the small production and the capital in their different faces. Also turning to the way, throughout the time, the horticulture practice is revealed in the space production and how the environmental problem is inserted in this process, mainly, when it refers to the insertion of new techniques and equipments that have promoted changes in the agriculturist system.
