abstract = "This work aimed to identify possible changes in climatic variables
in a region of agricultural frontier in the transition between the
Savannah-Amazon biomes, where forests were replaced by extensive
agricultural areas. Recent episodes of drought and extremes rains
in this region have represented large economic losses for
agricultural producers. Therefore, some questions arose, guiding
this research: The recent climatic instability can be related to
the intense in the land use and land cover changes through which
the region experienced? Can older producers feel any change in the
weather from earlier or more recent times? How do producers
understand this instability in the climate? How do local
institutions such as the Secretariats of Agriculture and
Environment and producer associations address the issues about
climate change? In response to these questions, we hope that this
work will contribute to the discussion about the necessity to
bring relevant scientific information to society in a more
accessible way, contributing to improve the level of awareness
about climate change by actors directly linked to agriculture,
aiming that perceive themselves inside in this system as the agent
causative and agent impacted by the changes in the local
climate.",
