Resumen en inglés

Two models are competing for the appropriation of the lands which remain unused by modern societies, such as tropical forests. This paper focuses on the attempt to link an agricultural frontier, driven by economic objectives, with conservationist views. In the Amazon, family farmers are addressed by this kind of project since they are at the same time actors of the agricultural frontier and considered as potential actors of the preservation of the forest. This paper, based on the study of this kind of settlement in the Pará State, aims to understand the role that family farmers can play in meeting sustainability goals. This objective implies to understand the land relation of these populations through notions that don't presuppose the nature of these relations, such as the one used in the studied project, but that leave them to build themselves on terms close to those of place-making.< Leer menos
