Abstract

Public policies for indigenous people in Brazil have undergone many changes over the last two decades. After the end of military dictatorship and the return to democracy, a diversification process took place, regarding indigenous policies. In this sense, the Carteira Indígena Program, which began in 2004, seeks to promote food security and sustainable development in the indigenous territories. Agroecology is indicated as one of its operational principles. This article analyzes the perceptions of social actors involved in the implementation of the Carteira Indígena Program through a case study carried out in two indigenous lands in the region of Santos. The Program aims to promote sustainability in Indigenous communities, and emerges as a development opportunity for these people. At the same time, many obstacles are noted during the implementation of those policies. This research shows that the coherence and integration of governmental action in the decentralization context faces a wide range of problems to reach sustainable management in indigenous territories.
