| Abstract | |
The Assentamento Americana (Americana settlement), located at Grão Mogol municipality (Minas Gerais state, Brazil), and created in 2001, is a differentiated proposal of land occupation and natural resources use on Cerrado biome (Brazilian savanna), based upon agroecology, extractivism (collection and use of native biodiversity products) and upon the way of life of traditional local inhabitants, called Geraizeiros. This thesis presents a study of this rural settlement and its families, analyzing how its implantation can contribute on the debate about peasantry and biodiversity at Cerrado biome, and specifically at the Norte de Minas region. The theoretic marks and methodology are based mainly on agroecology, with contributions also from rural sociology and biology conservation. It?s presented the idea of "peasant references" aiming to analyze the typology of the families. The methodology was constructed based on semi-structured interviews to 37 families of the Assentamento and other professionals linked to it, and also based on documents analyses. As a result, there were find elements of great to Cerrado peasantry and biodiversity debate, specially concerned to agriculture practices, cattle ranch and extractivism, and also to the proximity/distance from peasant references of the families studied (AU) | |
