Cadeias produtivas de produtos da bioeconomia da sociobiodiversidade no município de Belterra - Pará.

Abstract

Given the many current discussions about nature preservation, this research analyzes the production and commercialization of products from the Bioeconomy of Sociobiodiversity in the municipality of Belterra-PA, products made from raw materials found in nature, together with the knowledge of the people who live there, respecting and preserving not only nature but also culture. To do this, it was necessary to understand the history of the municipality, seeking data on historical events that contributed to its growth, and also an in-depth study of the main concepts of the original content of the research, such as Bioeconomy, Biodiversity, Sociobiodiversity and the Bioeconomy of Sociobiodiversity, is necessary. Only then can we understand the work carried out today by community members to preserve nature, placing themselves as part of it and still generating income to support their families and the community itself. It was possible to see that the products originating from this production model are not only present in the local market, but also in neighboring municipalities, often individually or through cooperatives and organizations that are present in the area and collaborate with production, management and marketing. It is noted that most of the incentive work carried out within the communities is through organizations outside the municipality, even with incentives from international institutions. Much still needs to be done; the municipality itself needs to improve its public policies aimed at the bioeconomy, so that it values the production and marketing of these products and stimulates its own market, such as adequate infrastructure and the creation of marketing points, thus valuing the work of the community members and encouraging them to continue preserving nature.
