Rural Settlements: Unconventional Systems Against Agribusiness

Main Article Content
Abstract
Researches describe a divergence between a highly industrialized agriculture, of large scale, and an unconventional agriculture towards an ecologically more sustainable agriculture (organic, regenerative, ecoagriculture, permaculture, biodynamic, agro-ecology, natural, of extra-sectorial low-input, and so on). The purpose of this work is mapping and debates some critical question as to the environmental and productive agriculture extent, focusing the rural settlements, with no intention to exhaust the subject. It is taking into account the assumption that such matter depicts not just a new scenery of conflicts, but also it presents alternatives, not only among the settled individuals as to the ecological use and management of natural resources within the reformed areas, in opposition to the adopted production systems. The article suggests that rather than fighting the agribusiness practices and its menace to the alimentary autonomy, to the unemployment and biodiversity, it would be better to apply another plan of action.
Keywords: Entrepreneurial Conventional Agriculture; Unconventional Agriculture; Rural Settlements; Productive Systems.
