The pedosphere, from an ecological point of view, performs an essential function for the maintenance of life, if thinking in the unrestricted meaning of the word. In a geographic context, it is in the soil where the process of production of space materializes itself, whether it is urban or rural. In rural areas, the soil has been heavily degraded. The soil usually is degraded by inadequate practices of agricultural holdings. The pedosphere is predominantly based on the capitalist logic of the production, on the large estates, in monoculture and agribusiness. The soil degradation process was accelerated since 1960s with the modernization of agriculture that adopted new cultivate techniques and soil management, such as the use of heavy equipment and chemical inputs (fertilizers) in order to increase productivity. However, without proper planning, these practices may result in chemical soil degradation, physical soil degradation and mostly results in social and economic fragmentation of peasant agriculture. We need to considerate that the so-called modernization proved to be absolutely selective. In this context was formed the rural settlement Horto Aimorés. It is located on the center of São Paulo state between the cities of Bauru and Pederneiras. This settlement was divided in two areas named Gleba I and Gleba II. The Gleba I had 165 plots distributed over 5,262 ha. In this settlement some areas were identified with soil degradation such as compaction, erosion, loss of fertility, among others. These degradations impaired the agricultural production and consequently the maintenance of the settled families and in these situations are noted the presence of non-agricultural activities...
