MOI, Paula; RIBEIRO, Alexandro; ZAVALA, Arturo  and  MOI, Gisele. Eco-socio-economic aspects of agribusiness on southern Legal Amazon. GOT [online]. 2020, n.20, pp.57-78.  Epub Dec 30, 2020. ISSN 2182-1267.  https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2020.20.003.

This research aims to analyze the joint spatial distribution of the level of agricultural specialization, between 2005 and 2014, and explore possible associations with environmental, social and economic aspects. Thus, it was possible to analyze whether the specialization of the agricultural sector in the State of Mato Grosso - the largest producer and exporter of commodities in Brazil and located in the south of the Legal Amazon - is associated with a sustainable economy. For this, a spatial econometric approach was used, comprising locational quotient (QLargo), Moran I index and multiple spatial regression analysis. It was found that agribusiness in Mato Grosso is supported by a consolidated agrochemical-dependent model that disadvantages the eco-socio-economics of the agricultural specialization, an activity that affects welfare state and the environment.
