Abstract

Education in soils it is essential for regions prone to environmental degradation. There are several factors that determine agricultural productivity, such as, education, climate, technology, soil types etc., However, the current research aimed at analyzing the relationship between land use and educational level of the population of the Territory Citizenship Cariri located in the southern state of Ceara and consist of twenty-eight counties. Specifically, the survey collected data on secondary education and the conditions related to agricultural land use caririenses and analyzed the situation of these indicators in the period 2004 to 2009. To achieve these goals, we calculated the Index Soil Education (ISE) and the average growth rates over the period analyzed. The results showed that the educational indicators had great participation in the ISE, however, attention should be paid to the areas planted with subsistence agriculture, therefore, acted in a less expressive and, possibly, such areas may be becoming degraded due to agricultural practices inadequate. Thus, the failure of this indicator in public policy can cause a decrease of fertile land and, consequently, serious social and economic problems.
