Brazilian agricultural productive process has increasingly become more dependent of agrotoxic use. In 2009, Brazil reached the spot of world's largest consumer of such products. The present research intends to investigate the perception of students from senior year of a rural high school placed on the Lerrovile district, city of Londrina-PR, upon the use of agrotoxic on food production and social-environmental issues caused due to it, as well as alternatives on the production of healthier food. On the execution of this paper, two work fronts were taken: on office and on field. Preliminarily, bibliographic survey, documental and electronic research, reading and selection of literature that characterize technified agriculture on one side, and agrotoxic consumption, on the other; organizing a set of questions and applying previously planned and scheduled interviews for data gathering through the development of a focal group. Therefore, although this research has approached economic and politic aspects intrinsic to agriculture modernization, it also addressed the recognition and the appreciation of cultural processes present on rural agricultural production experiences.
