Socio-environmental problems in agricultural production areas: an analysis based on landscape perceptions

The present research aims to report some socio-environmental problems, which can be noticed from the perceptions of the landscapes. These landscapes were visualized from the route taken to participate in classes in the Postgraduate Program in Geography at the Federal University of Jataí, observing the landscapes of eight municipalities in Mato Grosso (five) and Goiás (three). Based on these perceptions, it was possible to detect problems arising from agribusiness, such as: environmental degradation, social inequality and the presence of freight transport in urban areas. In this context, it is possible to conclude that the search for profit is something that is not limited, as small groups in society are favored to the detriment of the most vulnerable population.
