| description | Fibria Celulose S/A (a multinational corporation resulting from the junction between Aracruz Celulose S/A and Votorantim CP), has been integrating small farmers to its industry through a program now known as "Produtor Florestal". After signing a contract with the company, these farmers cultivate eucalyptus that will be used in the production of cellulose. The purpose of this communication is to address a reflection on the changes caused by the spread of eucalyptus and the conflicts arouse since than in the life, work and ownership organization of small farmers from a large food producer region in southwest highlands of Espírito Santo state. Therefore, we propose a discussion based on the analysis of ethnographic information, which allow us to access the impressions of small farmers about these issues. The information was seized through fieldwork - such as participant observation and interviews - with small farmers from this region who integrated this industry and also those who resisted it. The fieldwork took place by the months of August to October 2011 in the town Domingos Martins - ES. |

A Fibria Celulose S/A (multinacional resultante da fusão entre a Aracruz Celulose S/A e a Votorantim C.P.) maior produtora de celulose branqueada de fibra curta do mundo, através de um programa conhecido como “Produtor Florestal”, integra pequenos agricultores à sua unidade produtiva. Estes, após assinarem um contrato com a empresa, passam a cultivar eucaliptos que serão utilizados por ela para a produção de celulose. Assim, o objetivo deste artigo é o de estabelecer uma reflexão sobre transformações ocorridas na organização da vida, do trabalho e da propriedade de pequenos agricultores na região sudoeste serrana do Espírito Santo, grande produtora de alimentos deste estado, em virtude da disseminação do cultivo de eucalipto entre os mesmos, bem como sobre os conflitos provocados pela introdução deste sistema produtivo. Para tanto, propomos uma discussão a partir da análise de dados etnográficos que nos permitem acessar as impressões dos agricultores sobre tais questões. Esses dados foram apreendidos através de um trabalho de campo, fundamentado na observação participante e em entrevistas com agricultores que se integraram à indústria e aqueles que resistiram ao processo, entre agosto e outubro de 2011, no Município de Domingos Martins, que contém o segundo maior número de contratos desse tipo no estado. 2015-03-08 2022-03-17T14:31:34Z 2022-03-17T14:31:34Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Peer reviewed Revisado por pares Avaliado pelos pares https://revistaideas.ufrrj.br/ojs/index.php/ideas/article/view/121 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/38757 por https://revistaideas.ufrrj.br/ojs/index.php/ideas/article/view/121/120 Copyright (c) 2013 Silvia Lima de Aquino application/pdf Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro Revista IDeAS; Vol. 7 No. 3 (2013): número especial – 2013; 158-197 Revista IDeAS; Vol. 7 Núm. 3 (2013): número especial – 2013; 158-197 Revista IDeAS; v. 7 n. 3 (2013): número especial – 2013; 158-197 1984-9834 1982-257X |
