Uso de plantas do Cerrado por agricultores/as do assentamento Pequeno Willian: biodiversidade herdada de povos indígenas.

Abstract

The Pequeno Willian Settlement is located in Planaltina - Distrito Federal, in a region characterized by savannah formation that mixes typical Cerrado and dense Cerrado. Currently, the area is divided into 22 lots, beside the legal reserve, which occupies about 46% of the total Settlement area. Through an action research developed by the Núcleo de Estudos em Agroecologia - NEA Candombá, between 2018 and 2019, a survey of plant species present in the Cerrado area of ​​Pequeno Willian was carried out. From this research, we weave, in this work, reflections on the relations between the peoples and the biome of the Cerrado, pointing it as a human artifact. In this sense, it is understood that its current configuration is the fruit of human action in the course of long-lasting history. This issue is relevant to agroecology insofar as it highlights landscapes as a result of the imbrication between human activities and the environment, composing at the same time places and ways of life.
