Abstract The environmental impacts of the food system, especially the distances covered, are not clear to the final consumer. The aim was to evaluate and calculate the urban telecoupling and the environmental impacts and calculate the energy consumption and the environmental emissions of the organic foods. Through the calculation of quantities, distances, losses and the analysis of telecouplings, we measured Greenhouse Gas (GG) emissions, as well as the energy and carbon footprints of organic foods traded at the CEASA/PR, Curitiba. Emissions had a low environmental impact because the largest quantities of transported organics originate from production sites located within the greater Curitiba region. The study showed a consumption pattern supporting food produced in regions adjacent to the trading center in safe and healthy and safe way, which may be associated with a greater awareness of the environmental impacts resulting from the distances covered.

Abstract Although it has already started in some states, charging for the use of water resources is not yet widespread in Brazil. The aim of this research was to know the perceptions and willingness of farmers in relation to payment for the use of water resources, to make it feasible to collect this fee, introduced by Law No. 9,433, of 1997-Brazilian National Policy of Water Resources (PNRH). In this context, we sought to obtain this knowledge through qualitative research and a semi-structured survey applied to 37 farmers from five hydrographic basins in the Brazilian Federal District. The results, using Iramuteq software, showed the lack of motivation to pay for use of water resources, but also made it clear that the negative situational motivation can be modified if the State intervenes to meet both demands for information and questions raised, in order to bring their motivations, attitudes and sustainable behaviors to light.

Resumo Esta investigação busca analisar as concepções de Educação Ambiental (EA) nas propostas cadastradas no Sistema Estadual de Informação em Educação Ambiental de Mato Grosso do Sul (SisEA/MS), realizadas no município de Ladário, Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil. A pesquisa de abordagem quanti-qualitativa trata da análise documental de 27 propostas. O caráter quantitativo envolveu a avaliação dos indicadores: situação das propostas, tipo de ação, temáticas e público-alvo. A abordagem qualitativa se deu pela Análise do Discurso (AD), evidenciando as concepções em EA. A vertente conservadora foi predominante nas ações, com vista a uma mudança comportamental do indivíduo, desconsiderando a dimensão sociopolítica. As inferências trazidas aqui mostram caminhos para a superação de práticas que seguem tendências conservadoras da EA, na busca de práticas que busquem a transformação da realidade. É preciso (re) pensar os procedimentos metodológicos das ações, considerando os fundamentos teóricos, temas e público-alvo para uma EA crítica e transformadora.

Resumo Atividades capazes de conciliar geração de renda e conservação ambiental, como o ecoturismo, são cada vez mais importantes. O presente trabalho objetivou diagnosticar a situação do ecoturismo nas unidades de conservação (UC) do Amapá. Entrevistamos os gestores das UC que permitem visitação turística no estado, abordando a situação e possibilidades do ecoturismo na UC, acesso, entraves e controle. Registramos que o ecoturismo ocorre em quase todas as UC do Amapá, mas aparentemente em níveis abaixo do potencial. Grande parte dos entraves está relacionada a uma falta de investimentos por parte do poder público (carência de infraestrutura, de divulgação, de políticas públicas, de plano de manejo e de recursos humanos e financeiros). Os altos custos, principalmente associados ao transporte, também são um entrave importante. Os principais atrativos são atributos naturais ou culturais, atrativos que são comuns na Amazônia, sendo necessário um esforço de divulgação de características exclusivas do Amapá.

Abstract Payment for Environmental Services (PES) is an economic instrument that aims to reconcile the conservation of ecosystem services (ES) with the economic interests of the actors involved. In order to guide decision-makers in the process of structuring and planning PES schemes, this article analyzed Brazilian schemes against the best practices recommended in the scientific literature. As a result, monitoring the ES provision or its proxies and spatial segmentation were practices observed in Brazilian schemes in line with literature recommendations. The same did not happen with practices: flexible and/or adaptable contracts and payments greater than provision costs. These results are useful to reinforce strengths and point out possible vulnerabilities in the design of PES schemes, contributing to the improvement of both new and ongoing initiatives.

Abstract Based on the relationship between the Universidade Federal do Sul da Bahia (UFSB) and the Teia dos Povos (Peoples’ Web) - network of traditional communities and urban and peasant movements -, the text suggests reflections about the meeting of traditional and academic knowledge as a reference of a decolonizing education, both in the public university and in the Teia’s territories. Through meetings with students, task forces and workshops, followed by the action-research method, the Teia allows us to advance in understanding the possible relationships between agroecology and a decolonial education project. This proposal by the Teia, which dialogues with the concept of ecology of knowledges and is integrated with the strategy of agroecological transition and the construction of communitarian autonomy, provides us with subsidies to discuss how the questions established within the scope of political ecology are connected to epistemic decolonization within the scope of an emancipatory struggle strategy.
基于巴伊亚州联邦大学(UFSB)和Teia dos Povos(人民网络)之间的关系——传统社区和城市和农民运动的网络——本文提出了关于传统知识和学术知识作为非殖民化教育参考的思考，无论是在公立大学还是在Teia的领土上。通过与学生、工作组和讲习班的会议，以及随后的行动研究方法，Teia使我们能够进一步了解农业生态学与非殖民化教育项目之间可能存在的关系。Teia的这一建议与知识生态学的概念进行了对话，并与农业生态转型的战略和社区自治的建设相结合，为我们提供了讨论在政治生态学范围内建立的问题如何与解放斗争战略范围内的知识非殖民化联系起来的补贴。

Resumo O parâmetro para delimitação das Áreas de Preservação Permanentes (APPs) do Código Florestal de 2012 é a borda da calha do leito regular do curso d’água e não o seu nível mais alto. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar a perda de áreas protegidas, enquadradas na categoria das APPs hídricas, em virtude do Código Florestal de 2012, no rio Cabaçal, MT Por meio das tecnologias espaciais, foram elaborados mapas de cobertura vegetal e uso da terra de 2012 e 2018. A mudança do Código Florestal em 2012 ocasionou perda de 90% de área anteriormente protegida pelo de 1965, correspondente ao leito maior hidrológico do rio Cabaçal, especialmente no baixo curso, situado na planície do Pantanal mato-grossense. Concluiu-se que a cobertura vegetal nas Áreas de Preservação Permanente foi suprimida para que os usos urbano e agropecuário fossem implantados, caracterizando-as como de conflitos devido à flexibilização da legislação ambiental.

Abstract Stakeholders’ increasing concern with sustainability has been encouraging firms to adopt practices aimed at minimizing their negative externalities. The aim of the current article is to investigate the impact of adopting sustainability practices on the performance and competitiveness of the Brazilian furniture industry. Environmental management variables, operational practices, social practices focused on both the employees and the community were herein considered sustainability practices. Results have indicated the positive association of operational and social practices with sustainability performance and competitiveness. However, such behavior was not observed in environmental practices. The current study has shown the way each sustainability dimension influences performance by encouraging managers to invest in social and environmental practices, and by contributing to systemic changes on behalf of sustainability. Evidence has confirmed that investing in sustainability practices helps improving companies’ performance and competitiveness.
