Etnobotânica de sistemas agrícolas de pequena produção na região da Serra da Mantiqueira

Abstract

Agrobiodiversity conservation is a current subject of a large number of researches. However, besides its grown and wide recognition, agrobiodiversity is being constantly endangered by frequent changes in rural areas, such as urbanization, agriculture mechanization and abandonment of agriculture activities. In this context, is it possible to maintain/conserve agrobiodiversity? How these changes affect agrobiodiversity maintenance and associated local knowledge? The general objective of this study is to report agricultural practices related to cassava cultivation held by rural communities of Conceição dos Ouros Municipality, MG. Also, we tried to identify the correlation between sociocultural aspects and agroecological procedures present in the cultivation system, as well to understand the cause-effect relationship between farmers’ action and agrobiodiversity maintenance. The research was conducted in 15 rural neighborhoods of Conceição dos Ouros, regionally known as starch flour capital. The chapters of this study are about: 1) socioeconomic characterization of rural communities; 2) description of management techniques, cultivated areas and roots and tubers survey; 3) cassava ethnovarieties survey and genetic diversity analysis. We noticed that households are controlled by old local couples, whose principal activity is agriculture. Male descendents tend to stay in their parent’s household, practicing agriculture. Descendents who leave parent’s household usually practice activities that are not related to agriculture. Cultivated areas (“roças”, “mandiocais” e homegardens) maintain some level of diversity, where it is possible to find species used for several purposes. These areas are also important for families’ subsistence and local economy. The set of roots and tubers locally established is reduced and it is not ...

A conservação da agrobiodiversidade tem sido assunto de inúmeras pesquisas. Entretanto, apesar do crescente e amplo reconhecimento de sua importância, ela encontra-se ameaçada pelas constantes transformações pelas quais as áreas rurais brasileiras vêm passando. A urbanização, a mecanização da agricultura e o abandono da prática de atividades agrícolas são alguns dos fatores desencadeadores dessas mudanças. É possível conservar/manter agrobiodiversidade num contexto de constantes transformações? Quais são os efeitos dessas transformações sobre a agrobiodiversidade e conhecimento local a elas associado? O presente trabalho tem como objetivos gerais retratar a agricultura praticada pela comunidade rural de Conceição dos Ouros, MG, especialmente o cultivo da mandioca, identificar a relação entre aspectos socioculturais e os procedimentos agroecológicos do sistema agrícola atualmente mantido e estabelecer o nexo causal entre a ação dos agricultores e a manutenção da diversidade agrícola encontrada localmente. O estudo foi realizado em quinze bairros rurais de Conceição dos Ouros, município regionalmente conhecido como a capital do polvilho. Os capítulos que compõem este trabalho consistem: 1) na caracterização socioeconômica dos moradores das áreas rurais; 2) na descrição dos espaços de cultivo e técnicas de manejo, bem como no levantamento das raízes e tubérculos mantidos localmente; 3) levantamento e análise da diversidade genética das etnovariedades de mandioca presentes no local. Em linhas gerais, constatou-se que as unidades domiciliares são comandadas por casais de idade avançada, de origem local e que se dedicam ao exercício da agricultura para sobreviver. Os descendentes, homens, tendem a permanecer nas unidades domiciliares...
