      abstract = {The development of the Brazilian agriculture over the  twentieth century 
and at the beginning of this century led  to major changes in the production process 
of different  agricultural chains. Coffee in the Cerrado Mineiro region   deserves special 
attention in this context; therefore, it  has been established as one of the most modern in 
Brazil,  with the adoption of a set of technological innovations,  which has resulted in high 
yield and quality of the  coffee. However, to reach this situation, the production  structure 
has changed significantly since the early 1970’s  until 2000. This study aims to point out 
how such  transformations occurred and the consequent impacts on  production as well the 
relations of production and  employment. To reach these objectives, data from  agricultural 
census from 1970 to 2006 was used, along with  specialized work and field research with 
the application  of semi-structured questionnaires with a representative  leadership (from 
coffee growers and workers) and leading  companies in the market of inputs and coffee 
equipment.  The conclusion is that the modernization process of the  coffee activity in the 
Cerrado Mineiro region has caused  significant impacts on the generation of employed 
people,  generating new activities and a demand for a workforce  which is more qualified.},
