Energias renováveis e a agricultura familiar no nordeste brasileiro: uma revisão bibliográfica.

Abstract

Energy is indispensable in all stages of the life cycle of the beings that inhabit the planet. In food chains, the processes of energy production and consumption are observed at every trophic level, including producers, consumers, and decomposers. It is within this line of reasoning that a series of alternatives to energy generation have been developed in recent years, taking into account environmental, technological, political, and social issues. These alternatives include wind, solar, geothermal, hydraulic, and maritime energy, among others. The present work is a bibliographic review of the impacts of renewable energies on family farming, with the objective of analyzing the main impacts resulting from the implementation of the centralized model of renewable energy generation in family farming. To carry out this research, various sources, including books, journals, and scientific articles available in databases like Scielo and ScienceDirect, were used, along with references that aligned with the proposed theme. Thus, it was found that any form of renewable energy will have an environmental and social impact, whether positive or negative. Solar and wind energy have been growing in the Brazilian Northeast as one of the most sustainable energy alternatives. However, local actions are necessary, such as supplying energy production equipment in the distributed generation model (not centralized), to minimize such impacts and preserve nature and the environment.
