Agricultural Economics, Natural Resources, Rural Financing, Rural Development.
The Northeast of Pará is the oldest colonization area in the Amazon, characterized by intense human action over nature, with substantial loss of its natural characteristics. The occupation of the municipality of Tracuateua was exercised predominantly by family farmers, who used the slash and burn system as the main practice of preparing areas for crops. Thus, the adoption of public policies for agriculture assume an extremely important role. Therefore, the study will be structured in three chapters, the first chapter entitled "Agriculture in the Bragantine region of the state of Pará: a systematic literature review", aims to assess the scientific production related to agriculture in the northeast of Pará, through a systematic literature review, in order to identify the main gaps related to the theme, in order to guide further research that enrich this debate in the region. The methodology is based on a systematic literature review in four databases of scientific articles, with the search for research carried out between 1990 and 2021. The second chapter, “Spatial-temporal dynamics of land use and technological level of agriculture in the municipality de Tracuateua, aims to evaluate the spatial-temporal dynamics of agriculture in the municipality of Tracuateua, state of Pará, from 1980 to 2021 and identify potential. The methodology will be carried out an assessment of land use and occupation associated with official data from the 2017 Agricultural Census, and preparation of land use and land cover maps in three different periods through satellite image processing. The third chapter, “Access to public policy programs for agriculture in the municipality of Tracuateua”, aims to analyze family farming in the municipality of Tracuateua in relation to the importance of access to the main public policy programs aimed at strengthening agriculture. This chapter will be developed through semi-structured interviews with managers and data collection through visits to institutions such as the Municipal Secretariat for the Environment (SEMA), the Technical Assistance and Rural Extension Company (EMATER) and the Municipal Secretariat for Education (SEMED) among other municipal organizations.
