O agro é tudo? o direito socioambiental em face da ofensiva legislativa do agronegócio

Abstract

This is a master's dissertation that aims to verify the legislative offensive in the face of social and environmental rights led by agribusiness, architected by the ruralist bench and supported by the Cultural Industry. The paper addresses the concept of sustainable development as well as agribusiness and the perception of sustainable agribusiness. The concept of agribusiness is outlined, tracing a brief historical regression to the roots of the new rural world. It is understood how this business model is schematized, especially addressing its contradictions. The concept of Cultural Industry is worked on. It is understood the movement of the ruralist bench and its legislative offensive in favor of agribusiness, as well as how the law, in its legislative spectrum, has been managed by agribusiness and its interests. From these considerations, we sought to investigate the direct action of the ruralist bench in the National Congress, analyzing six bills and proposition of parliamentarians that make up this group, invoking the principle of sustainable development, for the benefit of agribusiness, but which will against social and environmental rights. It is concluded that the agribusiness legislative offensive results in a retrogression of the social and environmental law, improperly using the concept of sustainable development, and a violation of the principles of intergenerational equity, prevention, precaution and environmental non-retrogression. The present work constituted as a qualitative research and was studied through two methods, namely dialectical and analytical, adopting techniques of traditional bibliographic review.
