Resistencia antidesarrollista y emergencia de movimientos sociales desde la ecología política: Caso de la soja para biocumbistibles en Mato Grosso, Brasil

Abstract

The increasing, and out of control, tendency towards agricultural cultivation of soybean, destined to process and produce biofuels, is generating deep negative impacts for the rural communities of peasants and native-indigenous population in the region of Mato Grosso, Brasil, as well as for the south American region, in terms of increasing poverty, exclusion due to unequal ownership of land, strong negative ecological effects in detriment of the Amazonian reserve, and others, provoking the emergence of contrahegemonical and resistance social-political movements.
