Resumo: The present work consists of a historical journey from the specialized bibliography that seeks to contextualize the history of agriculture in Brazil in order to understand the emergence of agroecological movements for more sustainable agricultural systems. Both productions intended for export and domestic trade were carried out in a traditional way, which means that it was a production with little technological use. In 1960, there is a successive demand for food and other products, thus initiating a process of modernization called the Green Revolution, a period marked by the modernization of agriculture, responsible for livestock and agricultural changes. Since then, there have been several groups opposing the new model of agriculture, based on the use of pesticides and the practice of deforestation. In Brazil, one of these prominent protesting groups was that of alternative agriculture, subsequently encouraging the emergence of Agroecology. With the growing number of adepts of Agroecology, other sister currents were emerging in Brazil, highlighting Organic Agriculture, Natural, Permaculture and Biodynamic Agriculture. The growing awareness of society, boosted by agroecological movements, reveals the problems inherent to so-called conventional agriculture, which has caused environmental damage that is not always measurable. There are many obstacles to be faced, one of them is the reduction in the use of pesticides. Therefore, it is more than necessary that there be political changes, but also of a social nature, seeking to broaden the discussion on agribusiness, the use of machinery, pesticides and synthetic fertilizers in food production.

Tanto las producciones destinadas a la exportación como al comercio interior se realizaban de manera tradicional, lo que significa que era una producción con poco uso tecnológico. En 1960, se produce una sucesiva demanda de alimentos y otros productos, iniciándose así un proceso de modernización denominado Revolución Verde, período marcado por la modernización de la agricultura, responsable de la ganadería y los cambios agrícolas. Desde entonces, ha habido varios grupos que se oponen al nuevo modelo de agricultura, basado en el uso de pesticidas y la práctica de la deforestación. En Brasil, uno de estos destacados grupos de protesta fue el de la agricultura alternativa, fomentando posteriormente el surgimiento de la Agroecología. Con el creciente número de adeptos a la Agroecología, otras corrientes hermanas fueron surgiendo en Brasil, destacándose la Agricultura Orgánica, la Agricultura Natural, la Permacultura y la Agricultura Biodinámica. La creciente concienciación de la sociedad, impulsada por los movimientos agroecológicos, revela los problemas inherentes a la llamada agricultura convencional, que ha provocado daños ambientales no siempre medibles. Hay muchos obstáculos que enfrentar, uno de ellos es la reducción en el uso de pesticidas. Por eso, es más que necesario que haya cambios políticos, pero también de índole social, buscando ampliar la discusión sobre los agronegocios, el uso de maquinarias, pesticidas y fertilizantes sintéticos en la producción de alimentos.O presente trabalho consiste em um percurso histórico a partir da bibliografia especializada que busca contextualizar a história da agricultura no Brasil para então compreender o surgimento dos movimentos agroecológicos por sistemas agrícolas mais sustentáveis. Tanto as produções destinadas à exportação quanto ao comércio interno eram realizadas de forma tradicional, isso significa dizer que tratava-se de uma produção com pouco emprego tecnológico. Em 1960, ocorre uma sucessiva demanda de alimentos e outros produtos dando início, dessa forma, a um processo de modernização denominado Revolução Verde, período marcado pela modernização da agricultura, responsável por modificações pecuárias e agrícolas. A partir de então, surgiram diversos grupos contestatórios ao novo modelo de agricultura, baseada no uso de agrotóxicos e prática do desmatamento. No Brasil, um desses grupos contestatórios de destaque foi o de agricultura alternativa, incentivando posteriormente o surgimento da Agroecologia. Com o crescente número de adeptos à Agroecologia, outras correntes irmãs foram surgindo no Brasil, destacando-se a Agricultura Orgânica, Agricultura Biológica, Natural, a Permacultura e a Agricultura Biodinâmica. A crescente conscientização da sociedade, potencializada pelos movimentos agroecológicos, descortinam os problemas inerentes à agricultura dita convencional, a qual tem causado danos ambientais nem sempre mensuráveis. Há muitos entraves a serem enfrentados, um deles é quanto à diminuição do uso de agrotóxicos. Portanto, é mais do que necessário que haja mudanças políticas, mas também de cunho social, buscando ampliar a discussão sobre o agronegócio, a utilização de maquinários, agrotóxicos e adubos sintéticos na produção de alimentos.Research, Society and Development2022-09-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/3502610.33448/rsd-v11i13.35026Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 No. 13; e46111335026Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 Núm. 13; e46111335026Research, Society and Development; v. 11 n. 13; e461113350262525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/35026/29460Copyright (c) 2022 Emanuelle Lemos de Arruda; Luiz Fernando de Sousa Antunes; Carolina Gual da Silva; André Felipe de Sousa Vazhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArruda, Emanuelle Lemos deAntunes, Luiz Fernando de SousaSilva, Carolina Gual daVaz, André Felipe de Sousa2022-10-17T13:43:46Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/35026Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:50:05.501171Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
