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.

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.

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.

Family farming is quite different between Brazilian regions, where one of the main factors of this distinction is the implementation of agricultural modernization that initially benefited the regions South and Southeast, making these regions more mechanized and with a higher level of human capital. Given this fact, this article aims to measure the productive differences of family farmers between Brazilian regions using data from the 2017 Agricultural Census and applying a spatial stochastic frontier at municipal level. The results have shown that there is a high heterogeneity between Brazilian regions, where although all areas have shown a decreasing return of production scale, these returns were greater for the regions Midwest, Southeast, and South. Besides, technology and labor have a lesser effect on the gross income of farmers in the Northeast. The results also show that spillovers were different between regions, both for the factors of production and for the determinants of inefficiency. Furthermore, the heterogeneity can be confirmed by the efficiency scores, which were higher in the regions South, Midwest, and Mid-South regions of the Southeast. The results also suggest that, according to the profile of each region, it is necessary to implement more efficient policies that aim to improve the effectiveness of existing policies and mitigate the differences between them, especially in the North and Northeast of Brazil.

O objetivo deste artigo foi analisar a experiência da agricultura familiar com enfoque na gestão e sustentabilidade das propriedades rurais do assentamento Lagoa Grande – Dourados/MS. A pesquisa é de caráter exploratório e descritivo com abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa. É notório que a agricultura familiar tem significativa importância na produção de alimentos, principalmente, para a mesa do brasileiro e, também, do sul-mato-grossense, ainda assim, se permeiam desafios sobre a sustentabilidade, eficiência na utilização dos recursos naturais, produção e gestão do pequeno negócio. Para isto, são ressaltadas as parcerias na produção com o uso de máquinas e/ou equipamentos, recursos financeiros, ou cursos que possibilitem maior conhecimento e capacitação sobre a gestão e condução do negócio. Para as propriedades rurais do assentamento se constatou o acesso insuficiente às tecnologias de produção, baixo conhecimento e pouca participação no que se refere às associações e cooperativas, estes fatores contribuem para o distanciamento da melhoria produtiva e de renda para tal grupo. Ainda que a sustentabilidade está relacionada à complementação da renda dos produtores, a partir de outras fontes de renda não agrícolas essenciais para garantia da subsistência familiar. Para contornar tais adversidades é necessário desenvolvimento de ações, por meio de políticas públicas, parcerias e cooperações que possibilitem a educação e expansão rural familiar.   Palavras-chave: Associativismo. Gestão da Propriedade. Cooperativa.   Abstract The objective of this article was to analyze the family farming experience  focused on the management and sustainability of rural properties of  Lagoa Grande – Dourados – MS. The research is exploratory and descriptive with a qualitative and quantitative approach. It is well known that family farming has significant importance in the  food production mainly for the Brazilian table and also for the people from Mato Grosso do Sul, even though challenges remain regarding sustainability, efficiency in the use of natural resources, production and management of the small business. To this end, partnerships in production with the use of machines and / or equipment, financial resources, or courses that enable greater knowledge and training on the  business management and conduct are highlighted. For the rural properties of the settlement, insufficient access to production technologies, low knowledge and little participation in associations and cooperatives were  found to contribute to the distancing of production improvements and better income for such group. Still, that sustainability is related to the  producers' income complementation, from other non-agricultural sources of income essential to guarantee family subsistence. To circumvent such adversities, it is necessary to develop actions through public policies, partnerships and cooperation that enable education and family farmers expansion.   Keywords: Associativism.

The internationally renowned Muong Phang Cultural and Historical Site is located in the Dien Bien Phu region, northwestern Vietnam, and has received special attention from the public because of its great biodiversity. This site has a large forest area and other habitats including lakes, streams, rivers and paddyfield. These habitats would be ideal homes for bats and other biological taxa. However, in general, the wildlife of the Muong Phang Cultural and Historical Site receives little attention from scientists and authorities. Between 2014 and 2016, we conducted  series of surveys for bats in Muong Phang. Bat capture and sound recordings were the main procedure to obtain materials and data necessary for the assessment of diversity and conservation status. The results of the surveys this time revealed that there are 19 species of bats belonging to 7 genera, 5 families in the study area. Of these, a Myotis sp. is different from all the previously recorded Myotis bats from Vietnam, and, a Rhinolophus sp. is different from every described species of the family Rhinolophidae. This paper provides the first records of bats from Muong Phang with remarks on their taxonomy and conservation status.   Citation: Dao Nhan Loi, Vu Dinh Thong, 2017.

This chapter looks at the role of the public versus the private sector in the provision of insurance against social risks. After having discussed the evolution of the role of the family as support in the first place, the specificity of social insurance is emphasized in opposition to private insurance. Figures show the extent of spending on both private and public insurance and the chapter presents economic reasons to why the latter is more developed than the former. Issues related to moral hazard and adverse selection are addressed. The chapter also discusses somewhat more general arguments supporting social insurance such as population ageing, unemployment, fiscal competition and social dumping.

Abstract As recipients of tissue and medical specimens, pathologists and other medical specialists regard themselves as stewards of patient tissues and consider it their duty to protect the best interests of both the individual patient and the public. The stewardship of slides, blocks, and other materials includes providing, under appropriate circumstances, patient materials for research, education, and quality control. The decision to provide human tissue for such purposes should be based on the specific (ie, direct patient care) and general (ie, furthering medical knowledge) interests of the patient and of society. The same standards of responsibility should apply to all medical professionals who receive and use specimens. This document proposes specific recommendations whereby both interests can be fostered safely, ethically, and reasonably.
