AGROECOLOGIA E AGROTÓXICOS

Abstract

O trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar os resultados de uma pesquisa sobre as percepções da população em relação aos termos agroecologia e agrotóxicos. Os dados foram coletados em diferentes localidades do município de Salvador (BA), totalizando 1.730 entrevistas. Em torno de 90% dos entrevistados sabem o que é agrotóxico, e 93% tem conhecimento dos seus impactos sobre a saúde humana. Aproximadamente 51% dos entrevistados ouviram falar da agroecologia; porém, 62% não sabem do que se trata a agroecologia. Os resultados indicaram que a população entrevistada possui mais informações sobre agrotóxicos do que sobre agroecologia. Atribuímos esse resultado à falta de uma formação cidadã para as questões ambientais. Outro fato relevante são os impactos da televisão como uma das principais fontes de informação da população brasileira. Recomendamos políticas públicas de formação cidadã em agroecologia e seus benefícios à saúde e ao meio ambiente.
