O Agronegócio no Município de Araguaína - TO: A Territorialização do Capital e Apropriação dos Espaços Sociais e Culturais.

Abstract

The advance of agribusiness in Brazil represents the transformation of land, nature and the workforce into goods to meet globalized markets. The peasant social class, whose way of life understood here is basically based on the relationship between Land, Work and Family, and it will be possible to see how they have been suffering a process of territorial coertion by agribusiness, because this conservative hegemonic model aims to achieve the expanded reproduction of capital. In this sense, the central objective of this work is to analyze the territorialization of capital resulting from the advance of agribusiness, the benefits and interferences in agriculture and livestock, which revolve around Araguaína. And in this scenario, the spatialization of farms allowed the opening of new exogenous markets; established a heated "land market" in the region, raising its price; promoted a large labor force, however, we can still affirm that there is in this environment a land grabbing and concentration in the hands of a percentage of large farmers, impacting under the small properties, and as a result - the expropriation/subjugation/pressure of the peasant.
