Evolución de las conexiones entre producción y consumo y sus impactos en la dinámica de un territorio: el caso de Mocajuba en la Amazonía oriental – PA

Due to the lengthening of food chains, the global food system creates a distance between agricultural producers and consumers. Faced with this global situation, the local resistance movements stand out, proposing initiatives to bring farmers and society closer together. Thus, the objective of this work is to analyze the evolution of these processes of disconnection and reconnection between production and consumption, as well as the territorial reconfigurations of these movements in recent decades in the municipality of Mocajuba (PA) in the Eastern Amazon. To meet the objective, an analysis of the flows of agricultural and food products between the municipality and abroad and within the municipality was carried out, complemented by an analysis of the trajectory of the territory in recent decades and ongoing local development projects. There was a significant increase in the flow of agroindustrial products from outside the municipality since 2000- 2005, specifically towards the rural area, made possible by social programs that raised the income of the population. This translates into a growing dependence of these rural areas on "globalized" agri-food products. However, there have been movements of valorization of traditional products of Amazonian food origin such as cassava flour and açaí and, more recently, initiatives of rapprochement between producers and consumers of Mocajubes, aimed at energizing rural areas.
