| Sumario: | The article contains an exploratory analysis on agrochemical model contradictions in the current Brazilian rural development policies. We discuss the relation between proliferation of transgenic crops, changes in institutional arrangements that should limit and control pesticides use, rapid expansion of deforestation and increasingly attacks on traditional populations fundamental rights. In addition, current and potential impacts generated by a new cycle of zoonoses with syndemic profile are highlighted, threatening national sovereignty, human rights and prudent and equitable use of natural and cultural heritage of Brazilian people. Finally, we propose a new way of thinking and managing agri-food systems proposal to face the global socio-ecological crisis scenario. |
