Abstract

This article analyzes technification in Amazonas agriculture and ranching through land structures and territorial dynamics, drawing on Milton Santos's Philosophy of Techniques. It employs secondary data from the 2017 Agricultural Census, processed in Excel and QGIS. Indicators like tractors, electricity, and technical guidance are examined across various establishments. Results show a concentrated land structure: properties of 1,000 hectares or more account for 37.27% of the total area, but they are few in number. Technical diffusion is asymmetrical, mostly in the south and around Manaus, benefiting large estates linked to global chains. Small producers use only 1.22% of tractors and have limited technical assistance. Modernization favored sectors with higher productivity potential, creating regional disparities.
