The development of the Earth landscape occur before the action of many factors andprocesses on the time. The man interference also influences on this dynamic when we talkabout the exploitation of the natural resprings. Consequence of this is the intense process ofurbanization and industrialization, beyond the intensification and expansion of the farming,mining and others activities.The high speed, each time bigger, between the changes of energy in the environment, relatedto the use of the natural resprings, reflects in direct way in the return of the residues to theenvironment, characterizing problems in the environment because of the unsatisfactoryincorporation to the new environment produced by the organization of the geographic space.The farming development in savanna, that in this paper we will go to call “Cerrado”, wasinduced for exploring all the possible spaces, through the implantation of improved pasturesas well as of the agricultural activity based in the production of grains, what occurred togetherwith intensive and indiscriminate deforestation with the substitution for the called modernfarming.
