Resumo: Abstract By applying methodological notions developed by Costa (2009), the present article sets out to define rural techno-productive trajectories in the Amazon, and compares their evolution with data from the agricultural censuses of 1995, 2006 and 2017. By highlighting the growth of each trajectory, the article discusses their fundamentals, set within the context of technological variants that have critically depended either on land or on labour, and were relatively intense, either in mechanical-chemical components or in the use of forest resources or permanent plantations. The results have underlined the significance that trajectories based on temporary crops and beef cattle have assumed within the region, as well as the risks and structural changes that this has involved. Results have also demonstrated the contrast represented by trajectories based on agroforestry systems and permanent crops.

JEL Codes: O13; O17; O33; O44; Q15Resumo  Utilizando noções metodológicas desenvolvidas por Costa (2009), o presente artigo delimita trajetórias tecnoprodutivas rurais na Amazônia e compara sua evolução com dados dos censos agrícolas de 1995, 2006 e 2017. Destacando o crescimento de cada uma dessas trajetórias, discute seus fundamentos no contexto de variantes tecnológicas que dependiam criticamente da terra ou do trabalho, eram mais ou menos intensas em componentes mecânico-químicos ou no uso de recursos florestais ou plantações permanentes. Os resultados destacam o peso que as trajetórias com base em culturas temporárias e bovinos de corte assumiram na região, bem como os riscos e as mudanças estruturais que isso envolve. Os resultados também demonstram o contraponto representado pelas trajetórias baseadas em sistemas agroflorestais e culturas permanentes.
