The study focuses on the municipality of Guia Lopes da Laguna (MS), using data from Mapbiomas (1985-2020) to investigate the dynamics of land use and coverage, identifying processes of agricultural expansion, conversion, and contraction. The analysis revealed a gradual reduction in areas of natural vegetation, an initial increase in pastures, followed by a decrease after 2015, and a recent expansion of agricultural areas, mainly for the cultivation of soybeans and corn. The article also discusses the impact of these changes on the local economy, based on agriculture, and the agricultural intensification observed in recent years. It concludes that, although there is a decrease in pressure for new agricultural areas, the diversification and intensification of crops require more studies to promote sustainable development.
