| Resumen en inglés | Agriculture is a labor category that permeates the history of humanity. However, over the centuries, the relationship of humankind with agriculture has changed. Such was the modernization of agricultural practices in Brazil that the term "agribusiness" emerged to designate agrarian capitalism. The way cultures deal with their resources (including food) is the object of study in sustainability. Therefore, it is relevant to understand how the Brazilian agricultural production model works and its consequences. This study aimed to propose an interpretative synthesis of cultural practice called "agribusiness" in Brazil. To this end, a search was conducted in February 2022 in the Scielo Brasil database with the following descriptors: "Agronegócio" and "Brasil" (Portuguese); ""Agribusiness"" and ""Brazil""(English). A total of 31 articles were selected. By consulting the literature found, we analyzed agribusiness from the three-term contingency to identify: a) antecedent contexts; b) cultural practices; and c) cultural consequences. Subsequently, the possible consequences in the short and long term resulting from agribusiness were described. The cultural practices and consequences produced by them were allocated in the following categories: political, economic, labor, social, sanitary, geographical, and environmental. From the material consulted, the following conditions stand out: search for food security in the country, creation of public policies to promote agribusiness, absence of labor supervision in rural areas, and encouraged use of pesticides. As cultural practices we found organization of agribusiness as a sector, new forms of food production, unequal occupation of productive land, excessive use of pesticides to accelerate food production, deforestation and burning to allow planting new crops, and livestock breeding. The short-term consequences include increased influence of agribusiness in the Brazilian political scenario, profit growth, increased food production and export, precarious work in the field, increased umber of land conflicts and violation of human rights, damage to the health of workers health and the general population by exposure to pesticides. Possible long-term consequences are also found, such as consolidation of the ruralist bench in municipal, state, and national governments, consolidation of agribusiness in Brazil"s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), intensification of socioeconomic inequalities of precarious workers, increased deforestation, increased river pollution from pesticides, damage to the ecosystem. We hope that the discussions derived from this study can contribute to the Behavior Analysis debate on sustainable development, specifically in the area of food production. |
| Resumen en español | A agricultura é uma categoria laboral que permeia a história da humanidade. Contudo, ao passar dos séculos, a relação das pessoas com a agricultura se modificou. Tamanha foi a modernização das práticas agrícolas no Brasil que o termo "agronegócio" emergiu para designar o capitalismo agrário. A maneira como culturas lidam com seus recursos (inclusive alimentícios) é objeto de estudo na área da sustentabilidade. Portanto, é relevante compreender como funciona o modelo de produção agrícola brasileiro e suas consequências. O objetivo deste estudo foi propor uma síntese interpretativa da prática cultural denominada "agronegócio" no Brasil. Para tal, foi realizada uma busca em fevereiro de 2022 na base de dados Scielo Brasil com os seguintes descritores: "Agronegócio" e "Brasil", e seus equivalentes em inglês. Ao todo 31 artigos foram selecionados. Na consulta à literatura encontrada, o agronegócio foi analisado a partir da contingência de três termos para identificar: a) contextos antecedentes; b) práticas culturais; e c) consequências culturais. Posteriormente, foram descritas as possíveis consequências no curto e longo prazo advindas do agronegócio. Esperamos que as discussões derivadas do presente estudo possam contribuir para o debate da Análise do Comportamento sobre desenvolvimento sustentável, especificamente na área de produção alimentar. |
