A Codificação Florestal Brasileira (Leis n.º 4.771/65 e 12.651/12) e seus impactos na agricultura familiar.

Abstract

This article aims to evaluate the impacts of Brazilian forest codification, notably under the approaches of Laws No. 4,771 / 65 and 12,651 / 12, against small rural properties and, consequently, on family farming. Such interest arose from preconceived information that pointed to certain economic and political peculiarities when legislative studies preceded such norms. Moreover, it is known that the small Brazilian owners constitute a community of vulnerable in face of the great political and economic power that the great monoculture landowners of this country boast. In this study, a large bibliographic research was used in search of contents capable of forming a good theoretical foundation. Articles from specialized journals, course completion papers, master's dissertations, as well as academic books were explored. This paper begins with an introduction that collates general information on concern for environmental protection, as well as the initial milestones of this discussion. In the legal field, it gives a brief retrospective of the legislative evolution in this subject, besides starting reflections on the issue of family farming, making a brief comparison with the specific situation of the Northeast. Then, we seek to discuss the legal protection of the Brazilian environment, in its general and hermeneutic aspects. The following analyzes the legal evolution of Brazilian forest protection in its historical, political and normative aspects. In the context of family farming, it reflects on its historical evolution, its economic importance and its legal framework. In the fifth point, there is an analysis of the impacts of the New Forest Code on family farming. Finally, we conclude the present work, an occasion that concludes all ideas and information referenced.
