A experiência do modelo do agrohidronegócio para a pesca, via aquicultura empresarial no assentamento lameirão

Abstract

The objective of this work is to show how Aquaculture in Brazil has undergone important transformations that are related to the expansion of agribusiness in the fishing sector, from the appropriation of natural goods of common use for the generation of profit. The country has a wide coastline, predominantly tropical climate and millions of hectares of dammed fresh water, that is, the country has in abundance the main resource for the practice of aquaculture, “water”. We will also present the occupation process and the lived experience of the settlers of the Lameirão Settlement with business aquaculture to the detriment of the logic of peasant production. To understand how this process of “modernization” in agriculture took place, we think it is better to divide the work into two chapters, where in the first chapter we read, aiming to understand how the advance of capital in the countryside took place and the narrative used by large corporations to justify the implementation of technological packages via the Green Revolution, which years later, with the expansion of neoliberal globalization, strengthens business aquaculture with the so-called Blue Revolution. In the second chapter, we will deal with the history of the struggle for land of the peasants of the Lameirão Settlement, the importance of the CPT and the MST in the long-awaited process of Agrarian Reform and the experience with the creation of tilapia in a net. tanks via corporate aquaculture, which brought changes in the peasants' work routine and in the way of producing in the settlement.
