Uma Análise da estrutura fundiária rural e da pastagem no município de Montes Claros / MG

Abstract

A brazilian structure has always been linked to agricultural activities and still as a source of speculation, livestock is highlighted due to its position on the international stage, being the second producer and exporter of beef. However, Brazilian cattle ranching follows traditional patterns of low productivity, it is estimated that 55 million hectares of pasture may be in the process of degradation. In view of this scenario, there is a need for better soil management. The Rural Environmental Registry (CAR) is a national georeferenced electronic public registry, mandatory for all rural properties. The CAR, as a georeferenced database, becomes an instrument for monitoring the rural land structure, therefore, the analysis of its data in a GIS environment, crossed with data from remote sensing, allows a better understanding of the reality of land use. In this context, this work analyzes the distribution of pasture by the rural land structure of Montes Claros. For this, in a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment, CAR data were crossed and with information extracted from satellite images. The results show that the land structure is still shaped by the process of social exclusion.
