Abstract

This article aims to analyze constraints to family farmers’ knowledge and productive practices in Sustainable Development Projects (PDS), in the context of the enforcement of the current Environmental Legislation. The research was carried out in the municipality of Anapu, State of Pará, Brazil, based on interviews, participant and direct observation and collection and analysis of bibliographic and archival data. Subordinated to norms perceived as alienating to territorial construction, the farmers claim to have no real control over the appropriation and use of their spaces, which disorganizes their way of life. We analyze this process as an in situ deterritorialization, which occurs even without physical displacement, but rather from the precariousness of living conditions in the territory in which they chose to live as a community.
