This research investigates relations between communication and the development of family farmers from the Pontal do Paranapanema region (state of São Paulo), mainly in the municipality of Teodoro Sampaio. Family agriculture in this municipality is represented basically by beneficiaries the Agrarian Reform program. The main hypothesis is that communication contributes positively to the development of those family farmers. Thus, this study aimed to understand communication practices of these farmers and relate them with the development of their families. Quantitative and qualitative research methods were used. Development proxy is understood as the combination between the family living conditions and production. Among the main results, it was found that the effect of communication for "life and production conditions" increases as farmers at superior levels of "development" are analyzed; thus the main hypothesis should not be rejected for those farmers with higher development condition. For the others, communication did not have the same effect because many settled families are not focused on agricultural activities. The main suggestion is to improve ways for producers and professionals from public services related to them to access information.

Tem-se como principal objetivo analisar a organização do Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos da Agricultura Familiar (PAA) no espaço agrícola do estado de São Paulo, Brasil. Utilizamos como fonte de dados as ações da superintendência da Companhia Nacional de Abastecimento CONAB-SP (2012). De acordo com as ações do PAA no espaço agrícola paulista, constatou-se que o PAA apresentou desempenho relativo melhor que o conjunto das outras superintendências regionais; a modalidade Compra com Doação Simultânea atinge número mais expressivo de municípios; o PAA vem sendo aplicado com maior intensidade em favor dos agricultores familiares e assentados de regiões administrativas mais empobrecidas; há forte vínculo do PAA com os assentamentos de reforma agrária; o PAA parece complementar o PRONAF, na medida em que atende com maior intensidade justamente aqueles agricultores com maiores dificuldades de acesso ao programa de crédito rural. Levando-se em conta as intenções expressas formalmente na criação do PAA, em especial aquela de procurar atender os agricultores familiares com menor renda, as análises deste trabalho apontam que a mesma vem sendo cumprida no caso do estado de São Paulo, embora os recursos do Programa e o número de agricultores familiares ainda seja reduzido em relação ao seu público potencial.Palavras chave: Organização Espacial; Regiões Administrativas; Políticas Públicas; Agricultura FamiliarPUBLIC POLICIES IN BRAZIL:  THE CASE OF THE PROGRAM OF ACQUISITION OF FOODS OF FAMILY AGRICULTURE IN THE STATE OF SÃO PAULO, BRAZILAbstract: The main objective is to analyze the organization of the Program of Acquisition of Food of Family Agriculture (PAA) in the agricultural space of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. We used as data source the actions of the Superintendence of National Supply Company CONAB-SP (2012).  According with the actions of the PAA in the agricultural space of São Paulo, it was verified that the PAA presented a relative better performance in relation to the set of other regional superintendence; the Buy with Simultaneous Donation modality reaches the most expressive number of municipalities; the PAA has been applied with greater intensity in favor of the family farmers and settlers of more impoverished administrative regions; There is a strong link between the PAA and the agrarian settlements; the PAA seems to complement PRONAF, since is responds with greater intensity to those farmers with greater difficulties of access to the rural credit program. Taking into account the intentions expressed formally in the creation of the PAA, especially that of seeking to provide the lowest income family farmers. The analyzes of this work indicate that it has been fulfilled in the case of the state of São Paulo.

This study addresses farmers’ market as an alternative for sustainable development, within the social conjuncture of family agriculture and its productive system. Farmers’ markets strengthen the bonds between urban and rural spheres, allowing the family farmers to find in this activity an opportunity to strengthen the local market. This research aims to analyze farmers’ market as an alternative for the strengthening of sustainable practices in the city of Marechal Cândido Rondon – PR. This is a bibliographic and documentary study, with a descriptive exploratory approach, contemplating the relationship between sustainability, rural development, family agriculture and rural markets, more precisely farmers’ market in the urban environment, complemented by a case study, with field research and application of a structured questionnaire with open and closed questions for the producers and organizers of the market. Thus, it was emphasized that farmers’ market really is composed of exhibitors, mostly farmers and family farmers, that can also be considered as a business alternative for family farming, acting as a driver for sustainable rural development, since it generates income and expands the opportunity to offer the commercialized products, bringing not only financial, as well as social and environmental return for the family farmer.

Over the years, rural areas have faced a number of problems and difficulties, such as an increase in the average age of the population, desertification, loss of employment and the abandonment of rural and agricultural activities, which have led to the emergence of new initiatives aimed at revitalizing these territories from a social, economic and environmental perspective, such as the successful Bio-districts or Eco-regions (e.g., Bio-district of Cilento). Understanding and establishing a proper framework for each territory based on agroecology and participatory methodologies is still a challenge. In this sense, based on the analysis of two European examples—Cilento, Italy and São Pedro do Sul, Portugal—we described each of the building processes and defined a set of drivers that might constitute guiding principles to serve as a basis for the creation of Bio-districts or Eco-regions. The drivers’ matrix identified was discussed in three focus groups carried out in Portugal in 2020. Such drivers included a technical and environmental component (the quality of the environment and landscape, the food system and the implementation of organic farming and agroecological practices), a social and economic component (valorization of the farmers, products and territories and a set of different stakeholders—farmers, consumers, schools, tourism entities and restaurants, local authorities) and a political component (the governance model). Most participants agreed that the recognition of a Bio-district or Eco-region should be informal, bottom-up, with farmers as the main pillar, with a fair and representative participation, namely family farmers.

In Brazil, the State of Goiás is one of sugarcane expansion's frontiers to meet the growing demand for biofuels. The objective of this study was to identify the municipalities where there were replacement of annual crops (mainly grains) by sugarcane in the state of Goiás, as well as indicate correlations between the sugarcane expansion and the family farming production, in the period between 2005 and 2010. For this purpose, grains crop mask and sugarcane crop mask, obtained from satellite images, were intersected using geoprocessing techniques. It was also used IBGE data of sugarcane production and planted area, and data of family farming production linked with the National Food Acquisition Program (PAA), in relation to the number of cooperatives and family farmers. The crops masks and data tables of the National Food Acquisition Program were provided by National Food Supply Agency. There were 95 municipalities that had crops replacement, totaling 281,554 hectares of grains converted to sugarcane. We highlight the municipalities of Santa Isabel, Iaciara, Maurilândia, and Itapaci, where this change represented more than half of their agricultural areas. In relation to family farming, the sugarcane expansion in the state of Goiás has not affected their activities during the period studied.

No artigo, propõe-se a caracterização de algumas agroindústrias rurais no estado do Maranhão, baseada nos dados do Censo Agropecuário de 2006. Como ponto de partida para a pesquisa, serviu o fato de que as agroindústrias de produtos agropecuários se destacam como principais atividades entre as ocupações pluriativas dos agricultores familiares do estado. A escolha de agroindústrias para análise é fundamentada pela sua importância no sistema de produção agroalimentar e pela maior participação da agricultura familiar nos valores agregados dos produtos processados. Na literatura pesquisada, defende-se a visão de que, no contexto de pluriatividade a diversifcação das atividades, que ocorre por meio de criação de agroindústrias familiares, de pequeno porte e artesanais, pode ser apontada como uma alternativa econômicapara que a agricultura familiar possa permanecer e desenvolver-se em paralelo com as agroindústrias de grande escala e, assim, contribuir para a construção de um novo modelo de desenvolvimento dentro do qual o rural seja pensado como um todo, e não mais apenas ligado à produção agrícola.Palavras-chave: Pluriatividade.

As a starting point for the research served the fact that agroindustries of agricultural products stand out as the main activities among the pluriactive occupations of the family farmers of the State. The choice of agroindustries for analysis is based on their importance in the agro-food production system and the greater participation of family agriculture in the aggregated values of processed products. In the researched literature, it is defended the view that, in the context of pluriactivity, the diversification of activities that occurs through the creation of small family and artisanal agroindustries, can be pointed out as an economic alternative so that family agriculture can remain and developin parallel to the large-scale production and thus contribute to the construction of a new model of development in which the rural is thought as a whole and no longer only linked to agricultural production.Keywords: Pluriactivity.

This work deals with the problem of paternal incest occurring with young daughters at puberty. Only those incestuous relations which lasted at least one year have been the subject of the present research. 1) As far as the family structure is concerned, this study has revealed the incestuous father as a weak, masochistic, passive person who is dominated by his wife. The incestuous seductions of the daughter are experienced by her as making her party to his humiliation by his wife. It is under cover of pity that he turns his erotic desires to his daughter. He either beseeches her understanding and compassion or he uses violence. He has no control over his home and above all he has no control over himself. The wife holds the reins. The father is incapable of saying no to his incestuous desires. The mothers of these adolescent girls were described as essentially rejecting, and we noted that there is a parallel between the ego-disorganization of the adolescent girl and the intensity of the mother's rejection. 2) We have found that for the duration of the incestuous relationship, these adolescent girls had not suffered any behavioural or personality disorganization which would have alarmed their environment. 3) It was at the time, and very often on the very day, of the father's departure that these girls broke down. 4) Their disorganization was characterized by a very violent, compulsive acting out, which was for the most part erotic-heterosexual behaviour. Other acting out was observed, such as suicidal attempts, running away from home, auto-mutilation and destructive behaviour. We have given the name of compulsive-masochistic reaction to this type of disorganization. Two adolescent girls eventually had a more severe reaction. They evolved a frank psychosis. 5) Our main hypothesis, which was confirmed by the analysis of the clinical material, was that the compulsive-masochistic reaction is due to a masochistic father-fixation. In other words, these young girls seek at all costs to perpetuate the incestuous liaison to which they are henceforth irremediably attached. Moreover this father-fixation protects them from a much more radical regression; namely an oral and murderous invasion by the mother. The psychosis occurs when this father-fixation is no longer possible, that is when the father is annihilated, as much in the mother's eyes as in the daughter's. (“He no longer exists for me”, Lise told us). Then the adolescent girl cannot seek any help in her struggle against the oral, devastating and totally destructive mother with whom she is at grips. The effect is therefore fatal: a collapse of the ego's structure; it is psychosis.

Diante das mudanças ocorridas, busca-se uma nova configuração do espaço rural, procurando diversificar os produtos e as atividades agrícolas e não-agrícolas, visto que ambas se configuram capazes de promover a inserção dos produtores rurais nas atividades desenvolvidas. Entretanto surge a necessidade de buscar alternativas para complementação da renda, uma vez que a baixa produtividade e a falta de organização faz a produção insuficiente para manter as famílias no campo. É neste contexto que surgem as atividades pluriativas, com o objetivo de dar suporte financeiro às famílias, no que tange a ser um elemento suplementar a renda familiar, gerando assim a melhoria da qualidade de vida e fixando essas famílias no campo. Neste sentido nota-se a importância de analisar o papel das mulheres frente ao desenvolvimento de atividades pluriativas no campo, pois atualmente percebe-se uma modificação do papel feminino dentro do contexto familiar rural, visto que essas eram percebidas apenas com papel reprodutivo, papel esse que era desempenhado apenas no âmbito doméstico e que se relaciona em síntese aos afazeres domésticos e ao cuidado com os filhos, enquanto que aos homens cabe o papel produtivo por estarem diretamente ligados ao desenvolvimento da agricultura e pecuária, atividades estas que geram renda monetária; mas atualmente esse fato tem sofrido modificações, pois as mulheres rurais estão cada vez mais inseridas no mercado de trabalho por meio do desenvolvimento de atividades pluriativas, sendo assim é gerada renda complementar a família através do trabalho feminino, de forma que a mulher passa a ter além do papel reprodutivo o papel produtivo pelo fato de gerar renda por meio de seu desempenho no desenvolvimento de atividades de cunho não-agrícola. Woman: a Breach of the Paradigm of Reproductive FunctionAbstractBefore the occurred changes it is sought a new configuration in the countryside, seeking to diversify the products and agricultural and non-agricultural activities, since both are configured able to promote the inclusion of farmers in their work. In this context of changes, arise pluriactivities seeking financial support to families, with respect to be a supplemental element in family income, thus creating a better quality of life and setting these families in the countryside. In this regard it is noted the importance of analyzing the women’s role front the development of pluriactivities in the field, because today it is seen a change in the women’s role in the rural family context. Women were seen only with reproductive role, and this role was played only in the domestic ambit and it is related in synthesis  to housework and child care, while for men it is the productive role because they are directly linked to the development of agriculture and cattle raising, activities that are generating cash income. This paper seeks to investigate the paradigm break of the women’s reproductive function from development of pluriactivities. For this it was used the literature as a methodological procedure, so that the authors based on books, scientific articles and governmental documents. It has been found through research that rural women are increasingly entering in the labor market through the development of pluriactivities, so additional income is generated to the family by women's work, so that the woman beyond having the reproductive role has the productive too, by the fact that it generates income through its performance in the development of non-agricultural activities. Mujer: La Quiebra del Paradigma de la Función ReproductivaResumenDelante de los cambios ocurridos, se busca una nueva configuración del espacio rural, buscando diversificar los productos y las actividades agrícolas y no-agrícolas, visto que ambas se configuran capaces de promover la inserción de los productores rurales en las actividades desarrolladas. En este contexto de cambios surgen las actividades pluriactivas buscando dar soporte financiero a las familias, en lo que se relaciona con ser un elemento suplementar a la renta familiar, generando así la mejoría de la calidad de vida y fijando a esas familias en el campo. En este sentido se nota la importancia de analizar el papel de las mujeres frente al desarrollo de actividades pluriactivas en el campo, pues actualmente se percibe una modificación del papel femenino dentro del contexto familiar rural. Las mujeres eran percibidas apenas con el papel reproductivo, papel que era desempeñado solamente en el ámbito doméstico y que se relaciona en síntesis a los quehaceres domésticos y al cuidado de los hijos, mientras a los hombres les cabe el papel productivo por estar directamente ligados al desarrollo de la agricultura y pecuaria, actividades que generan renta monetaria. Este artículo busca investigar la quiebra del paradigma de la función reproductiva de la mujer a partir del desarrollo de actividades de tipo pluriactivas. Para eso fue utilizada la investigación bibliográfica como procedimiento metodológico, de forma que las autoras se basaron en libros, artículos científicos, así como documentos gubernamentales. Fue constatado con la investigación que las mujeres rurales están cada vez más insertadas en el mercado del trabajo por medio del desarrollo de actividades pluriactivas, siendo así es generada renta complementaria a la familia a través del trabajo femenino, de forma que la mujer pasa a tener además del papel reproductivo el papel productivo por el hecho de generar renta por medio de su desempeño en el desarrollo de actividades de tipo no-agrícola.DOI: 10.7147/GEO10.1694

Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji diskursus ketahanan pangan antaraktor dan pembentukan kuasa pengetahuan perempuan pada keluarga petani sawah lebak di Kecamatan Pemulutan Selatan kabupaten Ogan Ilir Sumatera Selatan. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif dengan menggunakan paradigma konstruktivistik. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat tiga aktor utama dalam diskursus ketahanan pangan yakni pemerintah, komunitas dan pelaku usaha. Masing-masing aktor berupaya mempraktikkan diskursusnya pada keluarga petani. Pada saat mempraktikkan diskursus terjadi interaksi diskursus antaraktor yang bersifat sinergis. Namun diskursus yang paling dominan dipraktikkan oleh keluarga adalah diskursus komunitas, sementara diskursus pemerintah sebagai pelengkap dan diskursus pelaku usaha sebagai pendorong. Pembentukan kuasa pengetahuan perempuan oleh para aktor bersifat elastis dan terdapat perbedaan akses dalam pembentukan kuasa pengetahuan perempuan berdasarkan perbedaan kelas sosial.This study was to examine food security discourse between actors in the farmers family and the formation of the power of womens knowledge. The method used was a qualitative method using constructivism paradigm. Research findings indicate that there were three main actors in the discourse of food security namely the government, community and business. Each attempt to practice their discourse on family farmers. It turns out that in practice this discourse, there were interaction between actors in synergy. But the most dominant discourse was discourse of community that practiced by the family while the government discourse as a supplement and entrepreneurs discourse as a spur. Formation of the power of womens knowledge by actors were flexibles/elastics and there were differences acces of formation in power of womens knowledge between women in different social classes

Costos y rendimientos en la labranza convencional y mecanizada de la agricultura familiar en la comunidad campesina Barrio Bajo de Matucana Costs and performance in the conventional and mechanized tillage of family farming in the peasant community of Barrio Bajo in Matucana Catherine Alva1, Noriyuki Baba2, José Velásquez3 1 Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina, La Molina s/n, Lima, PE. 2 Japan International Cooperation Agency - JICA, Apartado Postal 18-0261, Lima 18, PE. 3 Agro Rural, Jesús María, Lima 11, PE. DOI: https://doi.org/10.33017/RevECIPeru2015.0021/ Resumen En la labranza de la agricultura familiar de la sierra peruana convencionalmente se emplean aperos manuales (yunta y barreta). Actualmente no se tienen determinados los costos y rendimientos de trabajo de la labranza convencional y mecanizada. En consecuencia, esta investigación buscaba determinar cuántos son los costos y rendimientos de trabajo que el agricultor familiar invierte; a la vez, cuán adaptable es la mecanización según sus necesidades. Se verificó cuantitativamente que la labranza convencional tiene mayores costos y menores rendimientos que la labranza mecanizada, asimismo que esta última es adaptable a las necesidades que el agricultor familiar de la sierra peruana necesita. Para ello se evaluó el acceso desde la carretera a la parcela y la labranza en cada una de ellas (parcelas en laderas, terrazas y andenes) con cada tipo de apero (yunta, barreta y motocultores), tanto en tiempos, longitudes, esfuerzo y calidad del suelo labrado. El lugar donde se realizaron las evaluaciones fue la comunidad campesina Barrio Bajo de Matucana desde julio del 2,014 hasta enero del 2,015. Se determinó que el agricultor invierte con la branza convencional alrededor de S/.1,300 por hectárea con rendimientos alrededor de 440 metros cuadrados por día, mientras que de forma mecanizada alrededor de S/.700 por hectárea y 990 metros cuadrados por día. La labranza mecanizada beneficia al agricultor familiar por su menor costo y mayores rendimientos, además porque cubre sus necesidades. Sin embargo, aún falta evaluar (de forma mecanizada) con otros implementos para poder cubrir las demás etapas de la producción agrícola. Descriptores: agricultura familiar, aperos manuales, motocultores, mecanización, costos, rendimientos. Abstract In tillage of family farming in the Peruvian highlands conventionally hand tools (yoke and barreta) are used. Currently, the costs and the work performance of conventional and mechanized farming are not certain. Consequently, this research seeks to determine how much are the costs and work performance which the family farmer invests; at the same time, how adaptable is the mechanization to their needs. It was verified quantitatively that tillage has higher costs and lower returns than mechanical tillage, the latter is also adaptable to the needs of family farmers in the Peruvian highlands. For this, the road access to the land and farming was evaluated, in each one (plots on hillsides, terraces and platforms) with each type of implement (yoke, barreta and cultivators), both times, lengths, effort and tilled soil quality. The evaluations were performed was in the peasant community of Barrio Bajo Matucana from July 2,014 to January 2,015. It was determined that the farmer invests on conventional tillage about S/. 1,300 per hectare yields about 440 square meters per day, while the mechanized way is about S/.700 per hectare and 990 square meters per day. Mechanical tillage benefits the family farmer for its lower cost and higher yields, as well as covering their needs. However, there is still evaluating (mechanized) with other implements to cover other stages of agricultural production. Keywords: Family farming, manual tools, cultivators, mechanization, costs, performance.
