Inteligencia territorial para el desarrollo de la actividad agropecuaria de Roraima

Abstract

The state of Roraima has a large portion of its territory in the Northern Hemisphere and is the most northern of the Brazilian states. The agricultural sector accounts for only 4.3% of the state's GDP, which has a high concentration of population in the capital and enormous intervention by the federal government, which has allocated 67% of its territory to Conservation Units and Indigenous Lands. The state faces difficulties in its agricultural and socioeconomic development. Knowing its territory and its peculiarities is essential to subsidize the elaboration of public and private projects and actions aimed at the development of agriculture and state farmers. The objective of this work is to deepen the discussion about the territorial context of the use, occupation and attribution of the lands of the state of Roraima. The method used to support this discussion uses the Strategic Territorial Intelligence System (SITE) as a basis, which allows an integrated and multifactorial view of the territory. With this, it was possible to evaluate the natural, agrarian, agricultural, socioeconomic and infrastructure of the state, as well as their interactions. So far, the analysis of SITE Roraima allowed the identification of proposals, programs and specific and strategic actions to increase the agricultural competitiveness of the state.
