Resumo
The increasing prominence of environmental issues on a global scale has
triggered new approaches to the deal with agroecosystems and ways of
reconciling production and preservation of tangible and intangible resources. In
this sense, economic instruments for environmental management are employed
and among them stands out the Payment for Environmental Services (PES).
The purpose of this dissertation is to examine this instrumental as a tool with
potential to succor family farmers in agroecological transition as in Itapuranga to
conclude this process and consolidate a more sustainable production model, in
order to be consistent with these recent preservationist s efforts. Through a
combination of methods, this work makes use of literature search, interviews
and observation to capture social and environmental dynamics of the
researched universe as well as the aspects of the employed theory. Conclude
that PES is properly an alternative in agroecological transition context as the
increase of environmental quality given by agroecology is enough to motivate a
payment that overcome the farmer s opportunity costs and, in consequence,
helps in the perpetuation of this sustainable pattern that tends to be paid by the
market prize. In the end, there are several synergistic aspects that enable this
approach between different efforts and politics that lead syncretically towards
human welfare and environmental sustainability.
