Abstract

Brazil stands out worldwide in the production of soybeans, this comes as a result of a process of promotion of this activity in the country, with the expansion to the other Brazilian regions, the constant search for added value and the global money together with public policies ended for transforming territories and landscapes, since a new productive system was dictated to the regions. This work seeks, in general, to discuss the territorial and landscape changes in the community of Boa Esperança in the municipality of Santarém - Pa, from the insertion of soy agribusiness under the view of the community, the path of expansion of agribusiness was followed from soy in Brazil to the Legal Amazon and the logistics corridor to the north of the country, the santareno plateau was characterized by maps of annual agriculture and deforestation and, finally, the territorial and landscape transformations in the Boa Esperança community were discussed under the view of community members. For this, the method of analysis of dialectical historical materialism was used and the vision of community members was recorded based on the methodology of oral histories, which is able to rescue what was before and what became from the subjective experience of each one, the territory and landscape categories analyzed here, are based on the understanding of Milton Santos. Among the main results found are a devaluation of the community's mode of production, changes in customs, degradation of the environment and a sudden change in the landscape of Boa Esperança.
