Estudo comparativo dos preceitos propostos por duas correntes de pensamento: o caso da economia verde e agroecologia

Abstract

In this paper, the discussion involves two streams of thought or conceptions of analysis on sustainable development cataloged from their references to apparently different economic models, but inserted in the same economic system, which present mediate discrepancies between their concepts, namely agroecology and the green economy. From this problem we have as a general objective: Analyze the discrepancies and convergences between the concepts brought by the principles of agroecology and the green economy in the productive processes that involve pluriactivity, multifunctionality and subsistence production of family agriculture. And while specific objectives: 1) Map the discursive structure of the classic concepts of green economy and agroecology; 2) To structure a comparative framework on sustainability before agroecological and green economy projects. The main characteristics of the green economy are the low carbon emission, efficiency in the use of resources and search for social inclusion. Parallel to this is agroecology, a science (and philosophy of life) whose main characteristic is the production of healthy and natural foods. Both the green economy and agroecological production are aimed at practices that lead to sustainable development, which is explained by a better quality of life.
