The Cerrado s phytogeographic dominion has constituted the preferential area of Brazilian territory for expansion of the exportation s agribusiness complex. The possible success of this strategy, represented for superavits of the trade balance, hides social and environmental reality and the expropriating and degrading effect that this process generates. In this thesis, I look for to dismount the proud agribusiness ideology, to demonstrate the Cerrado s ecological wealth and its crucial hydrological function, explaining the reasons why the agribusiness generates the biological impoverishment and the run down of these hydrological functions. I look for present the cultural patrimony of Cerrado traditional s society, in special of its peasants, fruit of a history occupation of thousand of years for originary and traditional populations. I search to emphasize that it is the meeting in space enters the different forms of occupation of plateaus (the traditional and modern), that generates the tension between local peasant territorialities and foreigner agribusiness. Two directions, of habitat and merchandise, two distinct and incompatible strategies of use, opposed in the appropriation of territory. I discuss here, which repercussions this tension and these two senses have for he ecological, cultural and social sustainability analysis of this great one Brazilian region. For in such a way, I use the critical approaches about modernity s paradigm, about the functioning (entropycal) of industrial-capitalist production and the modern ideology of productivist development - elements that anchor the rationality of global agribusiness. I still articulate to this, the current approach that argue colonial difference, power s coloniality which understand the globalization current as an expression contemporary of the global colonialism. In this reaction, it generates the emergency to subordinates knowledge and the liminary thought, deriving of the borders of the worldsystem. I articulate these subordinates knowledge to the traditional and peasant local knowledge, deriving of consisting rustic cultures in Brazil. I aboard the conceptual debate on peasant s question, giving emphasis for new etnoecologic and agroecologic chains, deriving of dislocated places of the original eurocentric formularizations. In this route, this thesis goes to search to locate the peasant s territorialities as potential carriers of the sustainability notion and as a challenge of epistemological change in science, bringing to superficies innovative and challenging approaches as ambient rationality, survival environmentalism and territory-habitat. All the possibilities, however, of these approaches and the raising of the blockade of the peasant s potentialities are pregnant of conflict, that has today in the complex and the ideology of the global agribusiness, its main impediment, adversary and factor of oppression. The Cerrado s domain, as much in material aspect as symbolic, is the ecologic region privileged for analysis of these tensions and disputes.
