O processo de urbanizacao/industrializacao e seu impacto sobre algumas caracteristicas do setor agricola do Estado de Sao Paulo: resultados preliminares.

Abstract

Investigates the relationship between selected agricultural variables and the degree of urbanization in the State of Sao Paulo. Hypothesizes that the urbanization process brings significant changes in agricultural characteristics such as mean size of agricultural unity of production, input (in CrS)/cultivated ha, value of goods, and investments, use of mechanical power in agriculture, and fragmentation of holdings. These were tested by the X2 method and the results demonstrated that urbanization has a significant impact on the selected variables and that the more urbanized area coincides with the most modernized agriculture. - from English summary
