RESUMO:

Agroecology is the branch of science that studies the reconciliation of social, political, cultural, environmental and economic issues in agricultural systems, recommending a gradual change of a conventional production to that based on biodiversity, the Called agroecological transition, aiming to overcome the various impacts, due to practices such as the intensive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, caused by the green revolution, motivated mainly by the pursuit of continuous improvements in productivity . The work aims to evaluate the challenges and opportunities in the agroecological transition of family farmers in the city of Primavera, northeast Paraense, through a diagnosis of agricultural production in the municipality and a case study with the Producers associated with the Spring family Farmers Cooperative (COOPRIMA). The methodology used was based on the survey of secondary data related to the characterization of the rural environment of Primavera, with the aid of satellite imagery, in addition to the socioeconomic and productive data of the producers linked to COOPRIMA, through the Application of questionnaires and observation in the field. The results showed that the agricultural production in the city of Primavera in the last years suffered a loss of dynamism, since there was a large decrease in the area occupied by this activity, besides the reduction of the technological level in the production systems , but due to the agricultural system of the municipality being predominantly familiar the possibility of incorporation of agroecological practices is promising, which is confirmed in the study with the family producers associated with COOPRIMA, where it was explicit that Despite all the difficulties associated, especially the infrastructure and the capacity of social organization, there was a great acceptance and adoption of agroecological practices. Therefore, in rural areas with low economic dynamism and predominance of family farming, agroecology can be the basis for rural development, provided that there is the organization of producers and a gradual transition that respects the characteristics Local.
