Abstract
This research resumes the concept of the right to development enshrined in the ideals of the 1988 Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil (CRFB). As part of such right, the constitutional environmental order represents an important instrument for improving reality, ensuring that all development processes are subject to the purposes of the State, as listed by society itself in the CRFB. It is in this sense that the right to development is related to agribusiness, a sector that represents the current Brazilian agrarian model and has played a strategic role in the national economy in recent decades. Hence, this article highlights the incompatibilities of Brazilian agribusiness with the environmental order established by the CRFB. Based on the hypothetical-deductive method, this study starts from the problem mentioned to verify the hypothesis offered and fulfill the objective presented, without losing sight of the critical perspective on the phenomena studied. As for research techniques, this is bibliographical and documentary research. The contribution identifies important contradictions and provides a benchmark for the study of the right to development from a broad perspective, in which this right is confronted with the model and the negative externalities of a sector that plays a strategic role in the Brazilian economy.
