Cooperativismo agroextrativista, sociobioeconomia solidária e gestão do desenvolvimento na Amazônia: o caso da Amazonbai no arquipélago Bailique (AP)

Abstract

This article analyzes the Amazonbai Cooperative as a model of solidarity sociobioeconomy in the Bailique Archipelago and Beira Amazonas, Amapá, focusing on its practices of collective management and social innovation. Using a qualitative-quantitative approach, including a case study and bibliographic and documentary review, the organizational processes, participatory certifications, and socio-environmental impacts are examined. The results indicate an increase in family income, strengthening of community resilience against salinization through sustainable management and environmental monitoring, and environmental conservation through the management of certified açaí groves. Although logistical and institutional challenges persist, the cooperative demonstrates territorial resilience. The study contributes to the debate on sustainable development in the Amazon, providing groundwork for public policies and its replication in other estuarine contexts.
