| Descrizione: | The "green revolution", spread from the second half of the 20th century, disseminated the use of chemical agents and heavy machinery in agriculture. In Brazil, farmers had to adapt to this new policy for the widespread use of pesticides and fertilizers, due to the mandatory subsequent applications of these products in crops with bank financing. Studies have shown that the lack of information on the part of the workers in the frequent use and handling of these poisons causes serious problems to their health, contaminates the biota, and consumers. Currently, the state of Ceará has stood out as an important fruit producer. In this context, the municipality of Cariús-CE, Brazil, stands out with an annual production of 200t of guava. However, there are few studies regarding the impacts generated by this activity. The purpose of this study was to assess the socioenvironmental aspects of guava production in the city of Cariús - CE, Brazil, in order to identify the socioenvironmental problems generated. |
