The first methodology action was to accomplish a comprehensive bibliography review on the subject, followed by observation of satellite images and their processing throughout geographic information systems (SIG), as well as technical visits to various places in order to verify in loco the preset conditions of the soil and the environmental degradation problems in those areas. The paper also presents data about the socio-economy and physic-natural local aspects of the land, required to the implementation of zoning studies which are one the most important tool to the planning and organization of the use of the soil containing a sustainable cattle-raising activity. As a result, thematic maps describing the physic-natural features and analysis of the socio-environment data, indispensable to the agro-ecological zoning, have been provided / Este trabalho objetivou a caracteriza??o geoambiental do munic?pio de Apodi, Estado do Rio Grande do Norte, como subs?dio para estudos de zoneamento agroecol?gico dessa regi?o. S?o apresentados dados acerca da socioeconomia local e dos aspectos f?sico-naturais da paisagem necess?rios a elabora??o do zoneamento, uma das principais ferramentas para organiza??o do uso do solo com uma atividade agropecu?ria sustent?vel. Como metodologia, foi efetuada uma revis?o bibliogr?fica, observa??o de imagens de sat?lite e seu processamento por sistemas de informa??es geogr?ficas (SIG) e visitas t?cnicas ?s diversas paisagens da ?rea, para a verifica??o, in loco, das condi??es de utiliza??o atual do solo e observa??o de problemas de degrada??o ambiental nessas ?reas. Como resultados, foram elaborados mapas tem?ticos dos atributos f?sico-naturais e an?lise dos dados socioambientais de interesse para o zoneamento agroecol?gico

Your goal is, from the Technical Assistance Program, Social and Environmental (ATES), launched in 2004 by INCRA understand to what extent this action accomplished their goal of doing a job with a focus on agroecology. To this end, we chose to work with a qualitative methodology, through interviews with settlers, advisors and representatives of INCRA. They also contributed to developing this thesis, the direct observations, which offer visits to settlements and advisory bodies in the Rede Pardal, apart from participation in meetings and activities in which they were being discussed the issues of advice, agroecology and rural settlements. The thesis is divided into five chapters, plus introduction and conclusion. The first three refer to a theoretical analysis and historical about the process of land reform, and as a result the establishment of rural settlements, the importance of peasant tradition for the design of agro-ecological design and the relationship between agricultural models and proposals advice to the countryside. In two subsequent chapters, there was a panoramic picture of the territory of Mato Grande, settlements and groups that make up this research, for then analyze the performance of advisory services in these settlements, with the parameter, agroecology. It was found that the advice in this perspective, suffers a series of constraints, causing a gap between the ideal proposed in the manual and the actual practiced in their daily lives. Still, it is concluded that the ATES has contributed to innovations in productive groups who are experiencing agroecological processes, which can be regarded as shoots for the transition to a new dynamic of development. / Esta tese ? resultado de um estudo sobre o papel da assessoria t?cnica nos processos de transi??o agroecol?gica, que est?o em curso em assentamentos rurais no territ?rio do Mato Grande, Rio Grande do Norte. Seu objetivo ?, a partir do Programa de Assessoria T?cnica, Social e Ambiental (ATES), lan?ada em 2004 pelo INCRA, entender at? que ponto essa a??o atinge seus objetivos de realizar um trabalho tendo como foco a agroecologia. Para tanto, optou-se por trabalhar com uma metodologia qualitativa, atrav?s de entrevistas com assentados, assessores e representantes do INCRA. Tamb?m contribu?ram para elabora??o desta tese as observa??es diretas, proporcionadas pelas visitas aos assentamentos e entidades de assessoria que integram a Rede Pardal, al?m da participa??o em encontros e atividades nas quais estivessem sendo discutidas as tem?ticas da assessoria, da agroecologia e dos assentamentos rurais. A tese est? dividida em cinco cap?tulos, al?m da introdu??o e conclus?o. Os tr?s primeiros referem-se a uma abordagem te?rica e hist?rica sobre o processo de luta pela reforma agr?ria, tendo como fruto a constitui??o dos assentamentos rurais; a import?ncia da tradi??o camponesa para o desenho da concep??o agroecol?gica e a rela??o entre os modelos agr?colas e as propostas de assessoria para o rural. Nos dois cap?tulos subseq?entes, fez-se um retrato panor?mico do territ?rio do Mato Grande, dos assentamentos e dos grupos que integram esta pesquisa, para, posteriormente, analisar o desempenho da assessoria nesses assentamentos, tendo como par?metro a agroecologia. Foi visto que a assessoria, nessa perspectiva, sofre uma s?rie de constrangimentos, provocando um hiato entre o ideal proposto no Manual e o real praticado no seu cotidiano. Mesmo assim, conclui-se que a ATES tem contribu?do para inova??es nos grupos produtivos que est?o experimentando processos agroecol?gicos, que podem ser consideradas como brotos para a transi??o de uma nova din?mica de desenvolvimento rural
