PESTICIDES AND THE VERDE LANGUAGE REVOLUTION: PROPOSALS COLONIALS BY THE BILL OF POISON AND REPLACEMENT OF THE TERM " AGROTOXIC " IN LAW 7802/ 1989

Abstract

The hegemonic pattern of agricultural production reflected in the Social South meets globalized economic interests, which favor agribusiness due to a whole structure established since the Green Revolution in the 1960s. Today, Brazil is experiencing another spectrum of coloniality through Bill 6.299 / 2002, known as the Poison PL , which seeks to replace the term pesticide with one that masks the real risks. In this context, the present study aims at answering what are the socioenvironmental impacts by the term pesticide substitution for another less impacting proposed in the Poison PL. To this end, the triad methodology was used, approach, procedure and technique. As approach, the inductive method was chosen, due to have a concrete case to achieve a generalization. As procedure, the option was the bibliographic research about pesticides, hegemonic speech and Social North patterns, as well the documentary analysis on the Poison PL. The techniques were the summaries, records and analysis on the PL in question. It was finally concluded that the substitution of the termtarnishes the true socioenvironmental conse- quences, making it believe and defend its intensive use as something good and necessary to fight against pests, which in fact is only biodiversity without economic value profitable to the Social North interests.
