Agriculture, Environment and Development
This book deals with past legacies and emerging challenges associated with agriculture production, water and environmental management, and local and national development. It offers a critical interpretation of the tensions associated with the failures of mainstream regulatory regimes and the impacts of global agri-food chains. The various chapters include conceptual and empirical material from research carried out in Brazil, India and Europe. The assessment takes into account the dilemmas faced by farmers, companies, policy-makers and the international community related to growing food demand, water scarcity and environmental degradation. The book also questions most government reactions to those problems that tend to reproduce old, productivist approaches and are normally under the powerful influence of global corporations, mega-supermarkets and investment funds. Its overall message is that the trajectory of agriculture, rural development and environmental management are integral elements of the broader search for justice and novel socio-ecological thinking.
Brazilian Crops in the Global Market

It also explores the changing structures of agricultural production and ...

A Geografia escolar e a cidade
Compreender a complexidade dos espaços urbanos e sua teia de inter-relações tem sido um desafio para estudiosos de várias áreas, entre os quais, os profissionais da geografia. O enfoque geográfico é relevante pelo suporte que oferece para o pleno entendimento da questão, mediante a articulação de conceitos como paisagem, lugar, território, redes, escalas etc. Esse livro apresenta contribuições para a formação de indivíduos conscientes de seu papel como cidadãos em sua interação com o meio urbano. Ao analisar diversos aspectos da dinâmica cotidiana da cidade, a autora aponta abordagens desse conteúdo no ensino que exploram o grande potencial da geografia como agente formadora, a fim de favorecer a apropriação da lógica das relações sociais expressas nesse espaço por parte dos alunos. - Papirus Editora
Brazilian Geography
This book presents the history and theoretical contributions of Brazilian geography since the late twentieth century and shows how this sphere of knowledge has been organically integrated with social and territorial issues and with social movements. The relationship between the subjects and objects of research in Brazilian geography has been centred on the understanding and transformation of realities marked by injustice and inequality. Against this backdrop, the geography of the country has developed by integrating, relating to, and forming part of those realities as it headed out into the streets. Brazilian geography continues to hold theoretical debate in high regard as a result of the influence of critical theory. This book thus covers the theoretical approaches in Brazilian geography, its different lines of research, and above all its character as manifested in culture and society.
