Abstract

RICARDIO DE SANTANA SOUZA, Luciano. The conservative modernization of Brazilian agriculture, family farming, agroecology and pluriactivity: different perspectives of understanding and construction of the Brazilian rural space. Cuad. Desarro. Rural [online]. 2011, vol.8, n.67, pp.231-249. ISSN 0122-1450.

In the rural context, it can be seen that the modernist logic and technological capitalism has generated a series of reforms on the traditional family farming structure, separating from its actual production. This reform generates new actions and new odd objects in the traditional farming structure, becoming a new phase of capitalist expropriation on Brazilian rural areas.However, it is observed that the answers to this dilema are focused on sustainable and socially efficient new technical alternatives: Agro ecology and pluriactivity.. A revolution and a new beneficial model for traditional family farming and environment will come from these new alternatives, resulting in elimination of poverty and of environmental degradation encouraged by conservative modernization of Brazilian agriculture.

Keywords : onservative modernization of agriculture; family farming; agro ecology; pluriactivity; rural areas; agriculture; rural modernization; social adjustment.
