TERRITORIAL DYNAMICS OF WORK AND SYSTEMIC DEGRADATION AND HEALTH OF WORKERS
We have used the concept of agro-hydro business in our studies, since we understand that capital, when searching for flat, fertile lands with favorable logistics, also requires water availability and expropriates peasant, traditional and native populations. Thus, whether it is superficial or of aquifers, water is at the center of disputes and territorial conflicts. It is necessary to add, in this route of exclusion, that the systemic degradation of the workers, of the natural and transformed environments has intensified. That is, the differentiated advantages for the monoculture / latifundist / agro-exporting project, which has so much penalized and condemned millions of workers to exclusion, extermination, and the population in general, to diseases, to chronic risks of contamination, to pure and simple disposal , consolidate themselves in the name of the modernization of the processes of production, as evidenced by the research in which many of us are involved. Seizing these processes and their effects required care and attention to specific occurrences and procedures to address them. This may be a new phase of social exclusion, in the context of the systemic degradation of work in agro-business.
