Abstract

From the Green Revolution took place in the world, and especially since the year 1970 in Brazil, with the use of machinery and chemicals, agricultural changes occurred globally and nationally. New áreas were occupied in Brazil, opening new frontiers for agriculture, which began to develop new crops. This work aims to show the changes occurring in the Cerrado of Goiás from state interference in agriculture, with programs, investments, research and technology allowed the creation of big business to serve the southern and external markets. The focus is to show that economic growth occurred as a result of economic development. Research shows that this is an unsustainable model of agriculture in social and environmental issue, with the contradiction between the rate of economic growth and social development. It was a conservative modernization, further concentrating land and income in the region. It occurred to urbanization of the rural exodus to cities, where the population excluded from the field moved to the cities, increasing poverty and misery in the urban centers. As a result, there was the occurrence of economic growth, increasing GDP and Trade Balance of the State of Goiás, with no economic development. That is, the agricultural model implemented has brought social and environmental burden. To address these social burdens were studied 10 municipalities with the highest agricultural VA, 2008, based on Census 2000 and 2010, where he observed the occurrence of the rural exodus at all, and no increase of poverty, since income average of these municipalities was increasing, and urban incomes than rural, with some exceptions. The age of the rural population above 50 years increased, with the young going to the cities. In all municipalities informal employment is higher than 40%, exceeding 50% in some. And the environmental burden is seen as the destruction of the headwaters of rivers, soil solidification, the indiscriminate use of water, among others. It is a historical approach with the use of material already published separately, which will be collected so that you can get a more comprehensive view of this context.
