The research revealed that with the arrival of conventional farmers [2006] in the analyzed territory, the land for cultivation was being transformed into monoculture, many families sold their land and moved to an urban area, having to adapt to new territory. However, the peasants who stayed, these are surrounded by soy monoculture. With this proximity, the peasants serve as labor for conventional farmers, in addition to the fact that many types of pesticides are used, which ends up contaminating the properties of the peasants. With this work, many peasants stopped planting on their properties.
