Análise Das Atividades Do Setor Primário Nos Municípios Da Região Geográfica Imediata São Gabriel – Caçapava Do Sul.

Abstract

The Pampa Biome has undergone changes in its phytophysiognomy over the decades. Once seen as the biome focused on livestock, over the years it has excelled in monocultures, both in temporary and permanent areas. Within the Pampa Biome we locate the São Gabriel - Caçapava do Sul Immediate Geographic Region, in which the proposal of this work is found, whose main objective is to evaluate the agricultural activities and related to forestry in this region, from an economic diagnosis in a temporal study in the period from 1990 to 2020, using data made available by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). The data regarding the area harvested from soybean and rice, cattle and sheep, as well as area destined for forestry and products derived from tora for pulp and firewood, were obtained through tables made available at IBGE, released in an electronic spreadsheet and adjusted to be used in the software open source QGis 3.22.6, in order to obtain the cartographic products for analysis. The results showed a decrease in sheep and cattle herds in the period 1990-2020, while agriculture, mainly soybean, has shown growth in the same period. Forestry and consequently its products tend to be growing, possibly due to government incentives and the location near pulp mills. The temporal spatialization of economic data using thematic cartography and geoprocessing techniques contributed to the analysis of the variables listed for the study of this region.
