Resumo
Brazil is currently the world’s largest producer of sugarcane, and the state
of Goiás is the third in terms of planted area in the country, surpassed only by São Paulo
and Minas Gerais states. During the new expansion process of the sugarcane in Goiás,
it has occupied the most diverse territories, even if agribusiness or family farming. This
article aims to discuss some aspects related to the insertion of the sugarcane monoculture
in areas with a predominance of family farms, especially into the Rural Settlements
projects provided by INCRA in the state of Goiás. Among the materials and methods,
it was analyzed the expansion of the sugarcane cultivation in Goiás, between the years
2005 and 2011, in areas of rural settlements of agrarian reform - INCRA/GO-SR04
circumscription. They were analyzed in a GIS environment, with data provided by
INCRA/GO, LAPIG/UFG and INPE/CANASAT, verifying the presence of sugarcane
crop in these settlements. The results show the majority of rural settlements not in areas
of infl uence of the sugarcane. However, some occurrence was registered in the nearby
settlements areas, where there is an infl uence up to three ethanol plants. Although we
have not found the trend of sugarcane cultivation in these settlements, the
study suggests periodic monitoring in such locations, using data obtained
by remote sensing.
