Resumo: This article investigates how women who break babassu palm nuts have been impacted by the Brazilian government’s Matopiba development efforts in the Médio Mearim area of Maranhão, northeastern Brazil. The main characteristics of the agribusiness model in the region are examined together with its new form of territorialization (from expanding the agricultural frontier), along with the strategies and collective actions used by the babassu nut breakers against these projects. We utilized semi-structured interviews with leaders of the Interstate Babassu Nut Breakers Movement (Movimento Interestadual das Quebradeiras de Coco Babaçu, MIQCB) who play a prominent role in defending the territory and shaping the social and community fabric of the Médio Mearim region; specialized reports, previous studies, and audiovisual sources were also reviewed. Self-organization of women through the MIQCB has been one of their main strategies for (re)existence and collective action to combat the impacts of agribusiness on their bodies/territories and communities. The babassu nut breakers are political individuals who generate new emerging narratives through agroecology, cooperativism, food sovereignty, and rural and popular feminisms to combat increasing deforestation of babassu palms, socio-environmental conflicts, and violence in this region.

Para esto analizamos las principales características del modelo del agronegocio en el territorio y su nueva forma de territorialización, a partir de la expansión de la frontera agrícola, así como las estrategias y acción colectiva generadas por las mujeres quebradeiras de coco en contra de estos proyectos. Como abordaje metodológico utilizamos entrevistas semiestructuradas a lideresas del Movimento Interestadual das Quebradeiras de Coco Babaçu (MIQCB) quienes tienen un rol destacado en la defensa del territorio y en la conformación del tejido social y comunitario en el Médio Mearim (Maranhão). Fue realizada una revisión bibliográfica de informes especializados, estudios previos y audiovisuales. La autoorganización de las mujeres por medio del MIQCB, ha sido unas de las principales estrategias de (re)existencias y acción colectiva contra los impactos del agronegocio en sus cuerpos-territorios y comunidades. Las quebradeiras de coco babaçu son sujetos políticos que generan nuevas narrativas emergentes por medio de la agroecología, el cooperativismo, la soberanía alimentaria, los feminismos campesinos y populares, a fin de combatir el aumento de la deforestación de la selva babaçu, los conflictos socioambientales y violencias en esa región.Programa de Pós-graduação em Desenvolvimento, Agricultura e Sociedade da Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (CPDA/UFRRJ)2023-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://revistaesa.com/ojs/index.php/esa/article/view/esa31-1_st0310.36920/esa31-1_st03Estudos Sociedade e Agricultura; Vol. 31 No. 1: January to June 2023 (continuous publication - closed edition); e2331108Estudos Sociedade e Agricultura; Vol. 31 Núm. 1: enero a junio de 2023 (publicación continua - edición cerrada); e2331108Estudos Sociedade e Agricultura; v. 31 n. 1: janeiro a junho de 2023 (publicação contínua - edição fechada); e23311082526-775210.36920/esa-v31n1reponame:Estudos Sociedade e Agricultura (Online)instname:Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ)instacron:UFRRJspahttps://revistaesa.com/ojs/index.php/esa/article/view/esa31-1_st03/e2331108pdfhttps://revistaesa.com/ojs/index.php/esa/article/view/esa31-1_st03/e2331108htmlCopyright (c) 2023 Michelly Aragão Guimarães Costa, Laeticia Medeiros Jalil, Karina Bidasecahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAragão Guimarães Costa, MichellyMedeiros Jalil, LaeticiaBidaseca, KarinaAragão Guimarães Costa, Michelly2023-07-19T17:59:24Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/2015Revistahttps://revistaesa.com/ojs/index.php/esaPUBhttps://revistaesa.com/ojs/index.php/esa/oaiestudoscpda@gmail.com||2526-77521413-0580opendoar:2023-07-19T17:59:24Estudos Sociedade e Agricultura (Online) - Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ)false
