Family farming produces most of the fresh food consumed in large urban centers. However, its success depends on a variety of public policies, which range from strengthening the means of production to supporting marketing channels. In this article, we conduct a careful bibliometric analysis of studies in the international literature that address “family farming, public policies, and socioeconomic development”. The aim of the study is to identify and classify the public policies aimed at supporting family farming and socioeconomic development. We carried out a systematic literature review considering five international scientific journal databases using pairs of the keywords “public policies”, “family farming” and “socioeconomic development”. The resulting sample was a total of 625 articles, covering the period between 1984 and 2020. A bibliometric analysis of the first 50 articles selected by the Methodi Ordinatio tool was performed. For the final portfolio, 10 variables were analyzed to better assess and understand the current literature. Our analysis shows an increase in publications in the last five years, with articles from South America being more prevalent than those from other continents. Brazil being one of the key countries that has developed public policies aimed at family farming and rural socioeconomic development.

ResumoA atividade pesqueira artesanal possui relevante importância social e econômica para a região amazônica, pois é fonte de alimento, renda e ocupação de mão-de-obra e destina-se tanto a subsistência das comunidades ribeirinhas quanto à comercialização nos centros urbanos. Esse artigo se propõe a compreender e caracterizar a atividade pesqueira na localidade Rio Guajará de Beja, Abaetetuba/PA, verificando o atual engajamento dos pescadores artesanais com as políticas públicas disponíveis, como o seguro defeso e o programa de subvenção econômica ao diesel pesqueiro, bem como a sua real capacidade de acessá-las. O referencial teórico foi construído de modo a posicionar o leitor sobre a atual relevância da pesca artesanal para a Amazônia, a investigação das políticas públicas disponíveis para esta atividade e um breve histórico que culminou nesse contexto. Foi realizada uma survey, com uma amostra de 119 pescadores artesanais e seus resultados foram analisados com base na revisão realizada. Dentre os principais resultados verifica-se que 74% dos pescadores exercem a pesca de subsistência; a pesca comercial é realizada por 26% dos pescadores, que utilizam o barco e a rede de espera. O seguro defeso é acessado por 81% dos pescadores de subsistência e por 77% dos pescadores comerciais. Verifica-se, no entanto, que a política de subsídio ao diesel não possui efetividade na localidade, pois 78% dos donos de embarcação pesqueira nem sequer possuíam conhecimento sobre o programa. O que permite concluir que a política não está adequadamente divulgada e não é necessariamente acessível. AbstractThe artisanal fishing activity has relevant social and economic importance for the Amazon region as it is a source of food, income, and labor occupation and is intended both for the subsistence of riverside communities and for commercialization in urban centers. This article aims to understand and characterize the fishing activity in Rio Guajará de Beja, Abaetetuba / PA, verifying the current engagement of artisanal fishermen with the public policies available, such as closed insurance and the economic subsidy program for fishing diesel, as well as your real ability to access them. The theoretical framework was constructed to position the reader on the current relevance of artisanal fishing for the Amazon, the investigation of public policies available for this activity, and a brief history that culminated in this context. A survey was carried out, with a sample of 119 artisanal fishermen and their results were analyzed based on the review carried out. The results allow us to conclude that the policy is not adequately disclosed and is not necessarily accessible.

Described as units developing public policies in a design-oriented manner, Policy Labs are tasked to innovate to gain in policy effectiveness and efficiency. However, as public policymaking is a context-dependent activity, the way in which these novel organisations operate significantly differs. This study discusses the emergence of design approaches for policy innovation. The purpose is to map how Policy Labs in Europe introduce design approaches at distinct stages of the policymaking cycle. For this study, 30 organisations in Europe operating at various levels of government were surveyed. Based on the public policymaking process model, it investigates which design methods are Policy Labs deploying to innovate public policies. The study exposed a gap in the awareness of the utilised methods' nature. It also showed that the use of design methods is of less importance than the introduction of design mindsets for public policy innovation, namely ‘user-centredness’, ‘co-creation’, and ‘exploration’.

The severe shocks that rocked the world economy in the 1970s and the ensuing efforts to adjust and to renew economic growth have had a profound effect on the economic literature. Especially the external and public debt problems which reached critical dimensions in many countries attracted much attention. Thus, in the field of macroeconomics financial issues have gained more prominence over the last two decades. Studies relating to the fiscal deficit have been particularly numerous. The critical size of national public debts, the contribution of the public debt to external debt, the reduced confidence in the state as the guide in socioeconomic development and the role of fiscal policy in adjustment processes are among the main reasons for this increased interest.

Education is important to astronomers because it affects the recruitment and training of future astronomers, and because it affects the awareness, understanding and appreciation of astronomy by taxpayers and politicians who support us. We have an obligation to share the excitement and the significance of our work with students and the public. Education is often neglected by the scientific and professional community - not by us, of course - and by many research universities. Our task is not only to be better astronomy educators ourselves, but to convince and train our students and colleagues to do likewise.
