“…However, as this initiative has not yet become law 18 , being only an agreement, it is important to monitor its developments and verify the progress or not in this area. This attention is also valid for other sectors of agriculture, where burning is a common practice and the government's efforts to eliminate them have had little success 25 . The Department of Health Surveillance of the Ministry of Health implemented the "Programa Vigiar" ("To watch" program) to measure, assess and prevent health risks to the population exposed to environmental factors related to air pollution.…”

ABSTRACT:After 2003, a new period of expansion of the sugarcane culture began in Brazil. Pre-harvesting burning of sugarcane straw is an agricultural practice that, despite the nuisance for the population and pollution generated, still persisted in over 70% of the municipalities of São Paulo State in 2010. In order to study the distribution of this risk factor, an ecological epidemiological study was conducted associating the rates of deaths and hospital admissions for respiratory diseases, for each municipality in the State, with the exposure to the pre-harvesting burning of sugarcane straw. A Bayesian multivariate regression model, controlled for the possible effects of socioeconomic and climate (temperature, humidity, and rainfall) variations, has been used. The effect on health was measured by the standardized mortality and morbidity ratio. The measures of exposure to the pre-harvesting burning used were: percentage of the area of sugarcane harvested with burning, average levels of aerosol, and number of outbreaks of burning. The autocorrelation between data was controlled using a neighborhood matrix. It was observed that the increase in the number of outbreaks of burning was significantly associated with higher rates of hospital admissions for respiratory disease in children under five years old. Pre-harvesting burning of sugarcane effectively imposes risk to population health and therefore it should be eliminated.

“…Na Região Amazônica, particularmente, as alternativas tecnológicas ao uso do fogo disponíveis hoje têm se mostrado promissoras, embora seus resultados ainda sejam incipientes, principalmente porque não têm sido incluídas em políticas de uso da terra e nos instrumentos econômicos de financiamento à produção VIEIRA, 2001;SÁ et al, 2006).…”

Esse artigo tem por objetivo apresentar a principal forma de uso do solo pelos agricultores da Amazônia, bem como as alternativas de produção baseadas nos princípios agroecológicos através de levantamento bibliográfico. A agricultura é identificada com a principal causadora do desmatamento na região devido ao corte e a queima da vegetação como principal forma de preparo de áreas para o cultivo. Essa prática consiste em derrubar e queimar a vegetação para a implantação de cultivos agrícolas por dois ou três anos, posteriormente a área é deixada em pousio para o estabelecimento da vegetação secundária e o solo retome sua capacidade produtiva. No entanto, com o crescimento populacional e a necessidade de geração de alimentos essa prática tornou-se insustentável devido apresentar períodos de pousio cada vez mais curtos. Com isso, o desenvolvimento de novas formas de cultivo sustentável tornou-se necessário.
