Agroecologia no Cerrado

Agroecology, based on principles, concepts and methodologies, allows studies and designs of agroecosystems to advance in sustainable agricultural styles, as taught by Francisco Roberto Caporal (2008), one of the great scholars on the subject in Brazil, who left us recently . To Francisco Roberto Caporal, the Revista Brasileira de Agroecologia pays its tributes. It is not uncommon for the Cerrado biome, present throughout the Center-West region, in addition to states in the North, Northeast and Southeast, to be associated with the construct of the Cerrado-barn valuing the effects of a frontier of large-scale industrial agriculture, without no reference to its rich biodiversity, its environmental services and the presence of various traditional peoples and communities” (GUA‰NEAU, DINIZ, PASSOS, 2020). Studying the Cerrado and understanding the different ways of life and agriculture found there must be one of the bases for agroecological studies that can accumulate knowledge and proposals for public policy agendas, capable of giving visibility to more sustainable styles of agriculture.
