This essay aims to reflect on some issues involving the alternatives built on overcoming the limitations that characterized the pursuit of obtaining food for humanity , especially by capitalist society , and how the Amazon falls within that context. Therefore, this work is divided into five parts: a) theories of carrying capacity (Malthus and Ester Boserup) ; b ) appropriationism and substitutionism as movements of industrial capital on agriculture ; c ) social organization as a condition in the production and agrarian relations ; d ) the pernicious results of capitalist innovations on agriculture ; e) the Amazon facing new dilemmas of agricultural production . This last section describes the advancing frontier of the Amazon and the consequences inherent in that process in the rural landscape of the region , marked by a logical interface between country and city . It is concluded that the practices of the Amazon peasantry can be understood as an alternative to the procedures described in the article on the impasses of agricultural production.Downloads
