O circuito espacial dos sistemas agroflorestais do Polo Rio Capim na Amazônia Oriental brasileira e o papel da educação formal.

Abstract

This study emphasizes the theme of the marketing of Agroforestry Systems (AFS) that occurs at the Polo Rio Capim, Pará in the northeast the eastern Brazilian Amazon, in the municipalities lrituia, Concordia Pará, São Domingos do Capim and Mãe do Rio. The systems are part of agroecosystems which are managed and operated by farmers who considered innovators are distinguished by the diversity of species and has provided production and conservation, and thereby creating environmentally friendly products, but this situation is no guarantee of trading. To understand the long and short circuit of the AFs. was performed to characterize the Polo. the assessment of thes role in the formal education process and analysis of the evolution of marketing systems considering variables discussed with farmers and carefully analyzed by the statistics of the estimators performing M C test to measure the association between variables by means of frequency, as well as correspondence analysis. which together with the c1uster analysis, K-means method, were used to determine the domains of the variables involved in generating knowledge necessary to build the rule base and fuzzy sets of variables of the fuzzy inference system (FIS). And getting the results that show where the information included more farmers, were in relation to higher education or institutionalities economic outcomes demonstrated in the stages of evolution of marketing - more evolved, evolved, in transition and least developed. It was also possible to define that most farmers produce in arder to market, surpassing the basic process of living and the lack of marketing policy in the cities surveyed is a major obstacle to improving the process of marketing at Polo Rio Capim
