Os princípios da precaução e prevenção como instrumentos indutores de preservação ambiental pela implementação da agroenergia

Abstract

Due to the holding, without control, of natural resources, the world is reaching a level of consumption that verge unsustainable height, reason why workarounds become important to avoid impacts that can transcend the human activism. From this observation, began the concern about the scarcity of non-renewable energy resources, as well as the environmental effects caused by the indiscriminate use of these. That said, in view of the forecast of exhaustibility of fossil fuels and environmental issues, for example, global warming caused by excessive greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, it is necessary to find a new energetic alternative to meet the future demands and ensure an ecologically balanced environment, a fundamental right laid down in art. 225 of the Federal Constitution of 1988. In this context, the agroenergy, a renewable energy source is cited by many as a new miracle, i.e., as a solution to the energy crisis and environmental problems. However, like any other source, the agroenergy also has positives and negatives points - environmental, social and economic- which must be weighed. Therefore, the environmental law, as well as its principles of precaution and prevention, is indispensable for supporting implementation and use of this important energy source.
