%X Agroecology is an ecological management practice of natural resources with proposals for participatory development and for establishing relations between production and consumption, thus capable of facing an ecological and social crisis. Specifically, this paper aims to assess growing sugarcane monoculture and to reflect on the possible socio-environmental and agricultural impacts, through land use and land cover mapping techniques. Images of TM and OLI Landsat sensors were used to map the land use and land cover (2015), to delimit areas with sugarcane plantation (2000 and 2015) and also used for a temporal comparison. IBGE statistical data on the rural production in Itapuranga city provided support for the analysis of rural production. The results show that there was an increase of 1325% in sugarcane cultivation area over 15 years, period comprised in this study (2000 - 2015), which consequently implies the occurrence of impacts on the environment through soil disturbance by causing more soil particles loss and more use of agrochemicals (according to sources, about 4.84 liters per hectare), and so contaminating soil and water. Therefore, the results indicate that the expansion of sugarcane can lead damages to the environment and to the health of the population, specially to rural workers, if management and worker protection measures are not implemented.
