A atividade agropecuária no reassentamento Refopaz – Cascavel – Paraná: um estudo sobre a agricultura de base familiar

Abstract

This work analyzes the diversity in family production and the life transformations of families with the formation of the Refopaz settlement, located in Cascavel – Paraná. The resettlement is the result of the displacement of families from the area affected by the installation of the Governador José Richa Hydroelectric Power Plant in the municipalities of Boa Esperança do Iguaçu, Cruzeiro do Iguaçu, Nova Prata do Iguaçu, Salto do Lontra, São Jorge do Oeste, Boa Vista da Aparecida, Capitão Leônidas Marques, Quedas do Iguaçu and Três Barras do Paraná. This research will present the struggles of the population affected to guarantee their rights, such as receiving indemnities and also the guarantee of being resettled in another location. From this, we seek to identify the diversity and main characteristics in agricultural production and some aspects that mark the change of life in resettlement. The research was developed through a literature review with the aim of understanding the historical process of resettlement formation and the foundations of family organization in agriculture and field work for data collection with resettled families.
