The hegemonic economic model based on commodity extraction has subjected the people of the countryside and forests to processes of expropriation and violence in Brazil. The appropriation of common goods, the concentration of land, and agrochemical dependence, make unveiling the ideological-conceptual construction of agribusiness centered on economic indicators that are anchored in the maintenance of subsidies provided by a bourgeois state - which facilitates the commodity corporations' subsumption of land rent and life - essential. We analyzed the political-discursive strategies undertaken by agribusiness, identifying the hegemonic characteristics and unity of discourse as a conceptual site to persuade society. Finally, we assess the Bolsonaro administration's ongoing strategies to enable the appropriation of protected territories in provisioning expanded capital accumulation via agribusiness and mining.
