rural population
About two-thirds of the developing world’s 3 billion rural people live in about 475 million small farm households, working on land plots smaller than 2 hectares. 1 Many are poor and food insecure and have limited access to markets and services. Their choices are constrained, but they farm their land and produce food for a substantial proportion of the world’s population. Besides farming they have multiple economic activities, often in the informal economy, to contribute towards their small incomes.

Brazil has the fifth-largest national land area in the world and this land resource represents a critical asset for the country’s urban, agricultural, and economic development, also providing essential environmental services. Nevertheless, it has a historical lack of governance over its lands, failing to provide secure land rights and to control the extensive frauds resulting in public and private land grabs. The objective of this study is to depict evidence of these land grabs and propose a typology for analyzing them.

Brazil has, on the one hand, strong institutions in various areas, improved social situation and, on the other, the rural land situation is still very precarious, with basic unresolved questions, such as for example, knowledge of what is public and private land, due to the absence of cadaster. The legislation moved forward in an attempt to link the cadasters of INCRA, the Internal Revenue Service, with information from the Registry of Real Estate with the enactment of Law No. 10,267 / 2001, creating the National Register of Rural Properties – CNIR.

Las etapas iniciales del asentamiento fronterizo en la Amazonia brasileña se caracterizaron
por la gran intensidad de la afluencia de flujos migratorios, la deforestación y la rotación
de la propiedad. Cuarenta años más tarde, los hogares rurales están más orientados
al mercado y han desarrollado estrategias para adaptarse al ambiente local. A partir
de teorías sobre la demografía de los hogares y de la renta ofertada (bid-rent), en este
trabajo se propone un marco conceptual para los cambios en el uso y la cobertura de
