Agricultural frontiers and environmental management

Abstract

This article aims to discuss how the expansion of agricultural frontiers, driven by agribusiness and the absence of information technology interfere in environmental legal management. It asks: how does deforestation carried out within the Legal Amazon contribute to increased environmental damage? And, how do political management and legal management interrelate in the attempt (or not) to avoid an envi-ronmental disaster and to implement the policy of reducing deforestation? The theoretical framework used was the analysis of Martins, Carvalho and Farber, regarding the issues related to environmental political management was based on the criticisms made by Carlos Nobre. And finally, on risk society, the theoreti-cal bases developed by Ulrich Beck are used in this research. The methodology adopted was bibliographic research and documentary analysis
