Abstract

The objective of this study was to identify factors that may explain the development of cattle raising in Central Brazil, starting from middles of the decade of 1970, concomitant with the expansion of agricultural frontiers. Through an innovative theoretical model, it is possible to identify the fundamental variables of that process: location, topography and fertility. Data analyses allowed verifying that the ";location"; variable best explains the development of cattle raising in Goiás State.

KEY-WORDS: Agricultural frontier; agricultural modernization; technological change.
