The Relationship

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.

O presente artigo visa analisar o processo de comercialização de alimentos entre o segmento da agricultura familiar e o mercado institucional, mediante o Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos (PAA) desenvolvido na Associação dos Agricultores Familiares de Amambai (Assafam), enfocando na sua modalidade Compra Institucional (CI), considerando o conceito de qualidade ampla como guia para a compreensão dos possíveis avanços e barreiras existentes e consequentemente a percepção dos fatores que contribuem com estes dois aspectos. O PAA e as chamadas públicas, apesar de apresentarem algumas barreiras e dificuldades para sua implantação e efetividade, ainda é visto como instrumentos de fortalecimento e de inclusão do segmento da agricultura familiar no mercado institucional. A proposta do PAA revela estar mais relacionada à qualidade ampla, podendo conduzir a construção de editais, mais abrangentes e eficazes em seus processos de comercialização. Compreende-se a necessidade de algumas estratégias de aproximação e diálogo com as organizações de agricultores familiares com o intuito de superar dificuldades existentes no processo, aprimorando assim a relação de compra e venda entre o segmento da agricultura familiar e os órgãos públicos.Palavras-Chave: controle de qualidade; desperdício; associação; agricultura familiar.Family Farming in the Municipality of Amambai-MS, Brazil: an analysis of the commercialization challenges of the Family Farmers Association (ASSAFAM)ABSTRACTThis article aims to analyze the process of food commercialization between the family farming segment and the institutional market, through the Food Acquisition Program (PAA) developed at the Amambai Family Farmers Association (Assafam), focusing on its Institutional Purchasing modality. (CI), considering the concept of broad quality as a guide for understanding the possible advances and existing barriers and consequently the perception of the factors that contribute to these two aspects. The PAA and the public calls, despite presenting some barriers and difficulties for their implementation and effectiveness, are still seen as instruments for strengthening and including the family farming segment in the institutional market. The PAA proposal reveals to be more related to the broad quality and may lead to the construction of edicts, more comprehensive and effective in its commercialization processes. It is understood the need for some strategies of approach and dialogue with family farmers organizations in order to overcome existing difficulties in the process, thus improving the buying and selling relationship between the family farming segment and public agencies.Keywords: quality control; waste; association; family farming.

Purpose: To determine the relationship between family coping and resources and family adjustment and parental stress in the acute phase of the NICU experience.Design: Correlational study based on the Resiliency Model of Family Stress, Adjustment, and Adaptation. Main study instruments included the State Anxiety scale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Family Inventory of Resources for Management, the Family Crisis Oriented Personal Evaluation Scales, and the General Functioning subscale of the McMaster Family Assessment Device.Sample: Data collected from 124 mother and father pairs within two to four days of their infant’s admission to the NICU.Main Outcome Variables: Family adjustment and parental stress.Results: Adequate resources were more strongly related to positive adjustment and decreased stress than were either coping or being a first-time parent. The relationships among the variables were generally the same for both parents. Mothers utilized more coping strategies than did fathers.Practice Recommendations: Families with limited resources should be identified early to facilitate their adjustment to the NICU.

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.

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.

Alternative food networks have emerged in recent decades as a bottom-up social phenomenon and consist of food provision initiatives that seek to operate outside globalized industrial supply chains that incorporate the values of social justice, environmental sustainability, community health and democracy. In this sense, the present study aimed to analyze the contributions that the virtual agroecological fair action plan between family farming and federal institutions in the state of Goiás-Brazil brought to family farmers. The methodology is characterized by an action research both by the character of the collaborative construction action plan of an agroecological fair, and by the structure of development in which the insertion of authors is guided by the permanent collection of elements of the practice and, also, for the development of small interventions that help to elucidate the problems detected, through problematization and theoretical deepening. The Virtual Agroecological Interinstitutional Fair is held in an interinstitutional and collaborative way with family farmers with the appreciation of family farming of ecological Goiás basis and culminates in a path that enhances more sustainable territorial development with income generation, weaves an alternative for food supply and the promotion of the alternative food network “from the countryside to the city” in the face of socio-environmental rationality, in addition to a fairer and more equitable society, with the enhancement of biodiversity and the offer of food produced in the face of ecological practices.

Organization Of Production

It is determined that the most common form of organization of production is the family farming. First, it is based on the unity of ownership and labor, which generates an interest in the efficiency of management. Secondly, this is an area where people deal with nature, living organisms that require special care, attention and rapid response to changing weather conditions. The owner and his family cope with all these unstable situations most successfully. It is revealed that modern farmers are managers who have professional equipment and agronomic, zoo-technical, and economic education, since without appropriate knowledge it is impossible to win in a tough competition. The state supports farmers financially, legally, provides and guarantees the right of ownership. It is substantiated that an important role in the development of farming is played by service cooperatives that are created by farmers in order to jointly sell products in the domestic and foreign markets in large lots at bargain prices, as well as to purchase means of production and create processing enterprises. This allows farmers to focus on production, to study and implement the achievements of science and technology, which increases the efficiency of production. The author shows that, in Ukraine, farms began to emerge after gaining independence and the country’s transition to market economy. However, this process is contradictory. The development of farming is hampered by the lack of price parity for agricultural and industrial products, state material and legal support, the lack of appropriate personnel as well as by corruption and raiding. It is proved that the creation of service cooperatives is important for the development of farming. It is analyzed that their development is hampered by the lack of: the state support, knowledge about cooperation and the benefits it provides to peasants, an understanding of the essence of cooperation by the highest bodies of agricultural structures. The author reveals that (i) the world experience of the development of farming and service cooperatives should be taken into account and (ii) it should be stated in the Constitution of Ukraine that the basis of the agrarian structure are farms, which in the long run should become the main producer of agricultural products, and service cooperatives as their constituent part.

AbstractIn this article I argue that an analysis of “the State” is necessary in order to understand legal developments related to “family” that are relevant to efforts to combat the oppression of heterosexual women, as well as of lesbians and gay men. Drawing on recent debates concerning postmodernism and feminist theory, I review efforts to reconceptualize the nature of the state not as a monolithic institution, but rather as a set of arenas, or the site of various discursive formations. Because laws are generated from within, but are only part of, concentrated forms of state power, feminists and progressive groups that are engaging with law must retain an explicit analysis of the state. This analysis must be more nuanced and displaced than it has been in instrumentalist and structuralist accounts, in order to explore the ways in which feminists have influenced legal change and whether this influence is positive or negative for different groups. The limits on law's ability to fundamentally transform the social relations of oppression must however be recognized. In particular, the relationship between overall state trends—for example privatization—and trends specific to certain state arenas such as courts and legislatures—for example enhanced women's rights to men's property and increased legal recognition of same sex couples—must be traced in order to determine the political impact of seemingly progressive movements in areas related to “the family”.
