Abstract

The research focuses on the environmental regularization of family farmers. The objective was to analyze the legal requirements introduced by Law 12.651/12 and its regulations, and the impacts on the family farm located in northeastern Pará (Bragança, Capitão Poço and Garrafão do Norte). A documentary research was made and the sites of the environmental and land agencies were accessed. Besides, a field research was carried out with open interviews with farmers to get to know their perceptions on land and environmental regularization. After that, in order to analyze the political strategies prepared by the federal government, interviews were made with technicians in the Ministry of Environment (MMA), Ministry of Social Development and Fight against Hunger (MDS)[1], National Institute of Colonization and Agrarian Reform (INCRA) and Brazilian Forest Service (SFB). Finally, technicians in the state and federal environmental and land agencies were interviewed in the state of Pará. Then, data was compared to legal requirements in order to identify possible obstacles to compliance with those standards. The results point out at the difficult task of farmer environmental regularization due to the lack of land regularization, education and instruments of agrarian, forest and environmental policies.
