ABSTRACT

The City of Campo Verde-MT originated in the 1970s have emerged as urban because of their

role in the agricultural frontier in the state of Mato Grosso, in the form of execution of

government projects for agricultural exploitation. On July 4, 1988 is dismembered in the

municipalities of Dom Aquino and Chapada dos Guimarães in an arbitrary process with

municipalities in its surrounding region remained until 2016, which was tried in the

Legislative Assembly of Mato Grosso. The city grows due to the integrated migration to the

rural environment, where class conflicts occur leading to rural settlements and later the

distribution of land and income housing to attempt to remedy the housing défcit place

affordable to low-income families. But survey results indicated that both in rural settlements

as in lots and popular houses, the capital is present favoring commercial investment and in

particular to agribusiness. However this chain does not distribute income and quality of life, is

founded with technological advances and concentration of land and income for landowners,

representatives of companies, transnational companies and real estate speculators. As to lowincome

families, they are more vulnerable to replacement in the labor market for little or no

qualification and training, leading to his move away from the central city to remote peripheral

regions of the workplace, still complicating more replacement jobs, surviving with crumbs

paid by you that retains capital as ice cream shops, day laborers, plates, gardeners and others

who use migration within and outside the municipality as working solution. Emphasis is

placed on Campo Verde County, a place that belongs to the productive chain, a very serious

problem that has been empowering for having commodities as the main source of income,

which is the increasing use of agrochemicals. These, is polluting the air, soil and water in

increasingly larger scale. All people in the urban and rural environment are at risk. But the

field workers who have direct contact with handling are higher exposure. The government

does little to address the issue, thus, low-income workers and children are the ones who suffer

the consequences. Generally the chronically ill treatments are in distant places, because the

city offers little for this purpose, choking hospitals and clinics for treatment in cities like

Cuiabá and Rondonópolis. Finally, the last chapter is addressed an analysis and reflection on

the production chain as the wealth generated by this economy which, in the case of foreign

interests, could jeopardize all regional and even national development because it is now a

political channel.
