Notas: Land use in Brazil is sustainable when the land is perceived and worshiped following traditional indigenous science that enhances crop diversity coupled with maximun biodiversity. Caboclos family agriculture based in the concept of roca is an inheritage of this tradition know-how. The unsustainability of the man-land system arises when agricultural practices follow colonizers myths imposed by modern Agriculture science and technological packages. This later approach is already the rule and is devastating the land at the expense of the next generations. Equilibrium may come when we recriate our myths by using indigenous traditional science.
