Description
Summary:The article aims to carry out a reflection on the project of implementation of sojiculture in an area of contiguous lands located in the states of Sergipe, Alagoas and Bahia, which was named SEALBA, acronym of the acronyms of these three states, respectively. This territorial cutout has been pointed out as possessing a great agricultural potential for soybean cultivation. Based on the analysis of data from EMBRAPA Soja, EMBRAPA Coastal Trays and the IBGE Agricultural Census (2017), as well as anchored in a theoretical reflection based on the debate of the processes of mundialization of capital and modernization of agriculture, seeks to analyze the agribusiness objectives regarding the implementation of soybean cultivation in the SEALBA region, with emphasis on the Alagoas context, in order to unveil the harmful socio-environmental impacts that can engender.
