Abstract

The object of analysis in this dissertation is the sugarcane. The area is the state of Sao Paulo, and the period, since its establishment until today. Basically two foci are discussed: the history of the westward displacement of this crop, and the standard technology used in their fields. We attempted to interrelate the different historical periods with their territorialization and regionalization. Then it is given greater emphasis in the process of mechanization of activities related to the \"CLT system (Cutting, Loading and Transport)\" of sugarcane. (AU)
