Fragmentação territorial de produtos agrícolas agroecológicos e tradicionais de Alagoa Nova - PB.

Abstract

This work aims to analyse the territorial fragmentation of the agricultural, agroecological and traditional products from Alagoa Nova – PB, by the business Hortaliças Sempre Verde, and the small agroecological farmers, aiming to identify how the flexible manufacturing between the business and familiar production occurs, as well as its territorial fragmentation from the commercialization. Regarding the methodology, we have made a qualitative research, which stands out in the world and its inhabitant’s investigation. Among the methodological instruments used, we highlight exploratory study, bibliographic research, photographic records in the researched locations, and surveys with these activities’ agents. The research enabled a greater understanding on the inter-relations between the business (see above), the family farmers and the other market sectors, which were represented using maps. In addition, it was emphasized the search for new territorialities and the autonomy of the small farmers in the locations, who work with agroecological products, and who use the street markets destined to this kind of commercialization.
