In this article we present socioterritorial development as a category of analysis capable of understanding the interactions between some processes that are commonly analyzed separately, such as the struggle for land, on land, socio-territorial movements and the agroecological transition. We discussed how socioterritorial development presents itself as an analysis tool committed to the reading of territorial transformations that result from the convergence between the principles of agroecology and those of the political struggle of socioterritorial movements. We discussed the subversive character of agroecology, as an example of Territorial contentious Policy (PCT), built from peasant agroecological experiences. We argue that agroecology is one of the only productive systems that, interpreted on Polanyi's theoretical perspective, offers possibilities to promote the "(re) embeddedness" of the "(dis) embeddedness" of society, as it allows undoing adjustments space-time hegemonic, imposed by the logic of agribusiness and the corporate diet.

This article is an effort to understand part of the genesis and of the processes that took place in the protection of the right to access mineral wealth over space-time. In addition to the laws that directly interfered with the use and occupation of the soil / subsoil, and the way in which the space is produced, with most of the deposits located in the countryside, this debate also runs through geographic science, the agrarian question, the reflection about nature and the territory category. The route covered important periods in the history of the formation of Brazilian territory, reaching the implementation of the New Mineral Code (2019). Thus, it corroborates for the understanding of the injustices in the legal propositions in the formation of the extractive-mineral territories, demonstrating the popular absence in the decisions and formulations of mineral public policies.
