O presente estudo procurou analisar as implicaÃÃes da agricultura alternativa no assentamento Novas Vidas - Ocara â CE, considerando os aspectos sociais, ambientais e econÃmicos, visto que tal Ãrea representa um local de diferenciaÃÃo, pois foi um dos primeiros assentamentos de reforma agrÃria do Cearà a converterem a produÃÃo convencional em alternativa, atravÃs da agricultura orgÃnica. O mÃtodo utilizado na pesquisa levou em conta variÃveis sociais, ambientais e econÃmicas, atravÃs de um processo de investigaÃÃo, onde foram aplicados e posteriormente tabulados 17 questionÃrios dentre as 20 famÃlias assentadas. Segundo os dados obtidos, os assentados utilizam 34,5ha com agricultura de subsistÃncia e 4,2ha com hortas, ambas produzidas de forma orgÃnica. PorÃm, mesmo possuindo terra e Ãgua para irrigaÃÃo a Ãrea explorada à pequena, visto que, o assentamento possui uma Ãrea total de 693,67ha. Os resultados indicam que, dentre os aspectos sociais, observa-se que os problemas de saÃde nÃo sÃo constatados com grandes freqÃÃncias e que hà a valorizaÃÃo da educaÃÃo, o que demonstra avanÃos na melhoria da qualidade de vida. De acordo com as variÃveis ambientais, constata-se que o abandono de prÃticas que degradam o meio ambiente à presente no local. Jà no que diz respeito aos aspectos econÃmicos, a anÃlise aponta a necessidade de se encontrar mecanismos de uma maior geraÃÃo de renda e resoluÃÃes para a questÃo econÃmica, visto que, torna-se um ponto negativo a ser solucionado. A agricultura do assentamento representa um modelo de desenvolvimento mais equilibrado, pelo menos no que diz respeito à questÃo ambiental, porÃm à necessÃrio que se crie iniciativas para tornÃ-la mais eficaz na geraÃÃo de renda. Resolvidos tais problemas, o modelo poderia representar uma saÃda para o problema da insustentabilidade da produÃÃo agrÃcola, mediante a aplicaÃÃo de uma agricultura alternativa que vislumbre a sustentabilidade da vida no campo. / The present study tried to analyze the implications of the alternative agriculture in the establishment Novas Vidas â Ocara â CE, considering the social, environmental and economic aspects. For so much, they took place a field work in the sense of they be tabulated information that allowed a characterization and understanding in the production ways and organization of establishment, because such area represents a differentiation place, because it was one of the first establishments of agrarian reform of Cearà they convert it the conventional production into alternative, through the organic agriculture. The method used in the research took into social, environmental and economic variable account, through an investigation process, where they were applied and later on the tabulated 17 questionnaires for the 20 seated families.

The results indicate that, in the social aspects, it is observed that the problems of health are not verified with frequently and the education, what demonstrates progresses in the improvement of the life quality. In agreement with the environmental variables, it is verified that the abandonment of practices that they degrade the environment is present in the place. Already in what it says respect to the economic aspects, the analysis aims the need to obtain mechanisms of a larger generation of income and resolutions for problems of economic nature, because, becomes an negative point to be solved. The agriculture of the establishment represents a model of more balanced development, at least in what it tells respect the environmental subject, even so it is necessary that is created initiatives to turn it more effective in the generation of income. Solved that problems, the model could represent an exit for the problem of the insustainability agricultural production, by means of the application of an alternative agriculture that glimmer the sustainability life the field.
