Abstract

The crisis of cocoa plantations in southern Bahia in the late 1980 affected the agricultural landscape of this region. This study examines the dynamics of the agrarian system in the environmental, social and economic, taking as reference the city of Camacan. The method is diagnostic analysis of agrarian systems to characterize the types of production systems and identify the most relevant factors in its transformations and interrelations. The data were collected from July to October 2009 with the producers and rural workers. We have identified two regions. Predominant farming systems of permanent, such as cacao and coffee production on a smaller scale in the region of high altitude. Plains are the creation units, dairy and beef. There is need to encourage agricultural producers to expand their activities, associations and cooperatives for income generation strategies and highlighting the environmental issues surrounding the production site.
