    Latin America and the Caribbean, South America, Paraguay

Respecto al primero, se analiza en uno de los artículos el continuo aumen- to de la importación de productos frutihortícolas, propios de la agricultura campesina, ante la inexistencia de una política siquiera de seguridad alimentaria. Los datos del Censo 2022, evidencian que las políticas agrícolas y económicas del país provocan el declive de la producción y economía campesinas.

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar as modificações espaciais e investigar a participação dos poderes público, privado e da sociedade como agentes modificadores do espaço, considerando a dispersão urbana a oeste do patrimônio.

Dentre esses, o Instituto Florestal, instituição de pesquisa com mais de 130 anos, responsável principal pelas pesquisas sobre a conservação e o manejo das unidades de conservação e áreas protegidas, últimos refúgios da biodiversidade paulista.
