This work aimed to develop two computerized systems, modeled to record and provide information about family farming activities within Itapúa Department-Paraguay. Meetings were held with Government members and municipal technicians to obtain all the requirements and to gather all the details that are relevant for the development of the application. Thus, with all the available information, it was possible to organize and structure the two proposed systems to collect data on rural producers, their properties, their production, family composition, livestock production, processed products, infrastructure, input use, etc. As a result an application for Android called C7-SustenLAF and a Web system was developed, where the main application’s function is to carry out the data registration of the rural producers, thus providing georeferenced data, in turn the Web system has the purpose of generating and structuring the information as well as enable data retrieval by giving a series of filter options for different characteristics that are registered from the application. Thus, it is expected that these systems, used specifically to give information, can help the Government of Itapúa - Paraguay to take strategic actions and give support to the Family Farming field, contributing to better management and technical assistance to producers.

Brazil has a vast diversity of natural resources, which are important in the economic and social context of many families, identified through non-wood forest products (NWFP), among them chestnuts, in the north, and pine nut, in the south of the country. Thus, the objective of the work was to analyze the productive chain of the Brazilian chestnuts in order to establish and identify potentialities existing in its productive chain that can be used to promote the pine nut productive chain in the social, economic and environmental spheres. The study was carried out through the application of an open questionnaire, having as target audience representatives linked to the commercialization and research of both forest products. As a main result, it is evident that the pine nut has an incomplete production chain, presenting itself as a product with secondary representation in the formation of farmers' income, which contributes to the structure of pine nut commercialization being incipient. In addition, the lack of social organization for extractivism is responsible for the non-consolidation of the chain, coupled with the incipient process of industrialization and processing of the pine nut. which limits the added value of the product. There is a need for greater interest and attention on the part of the government with actions involving entities that can assist in the most different spheres, as well as providing technical assistance, research, and financial support.

Although hazards exist in all agricultural settings—particularly for the family farmer—uncertainties related to productionplace food security and family subsistence at risk. The objective of thisstudy was therefore to analyze the components of risk managementapplied to family farming. To this end, we performed an exploratorystudy using data from a statistical survey of the 2018 AgriculturalCensus. Our results showed risks that were classified between mediumand high. We observed that 45.8% of producers received retirementfunds, implying they tend to be an older population. As a result,family succession work aimed at strengthening agricultural activitiesthrough technical assistance and rural extension (ATER) are necessary,since 80.1% of properties do not receive specialized guidance. Wealso found that 59% of the producers are not registered with theDeclaration of Aptitude to Pronaf (DAP), which is an instrument usedto access differentiated public programs. In this case, we observedthat 52.2% of credit comes from government programs, with Pronafaccounting for the highest volume of credit (40.2% of resources).Using these data, we find that integrated risk management contributesto the daily activities of the rural producer, promotes the continuousimprovement of the family business, assists in decision-making, andultimately results in a reduction of losses and increases family income.

Through a case study, the goals of this paper were: First, to provide whether the technical and financial results were adequate to determine the competitiveness of family farming unit to response for enhancing its dairy production system. Second, to propose an alternative analysis methodology titled concentrate rationing to measure the financial performance of the dairy cows. Third, to provide a method to analyze the performance of technical assistance and rural extension. Data were collected by control spreadsheets on family farming unit in Alegre, Espírito Santo, Brazil. Indicators related to income and production costs were analyzed by Excel® software spreadsheets as well the concentrate rationing tool. Financial analysis evidenced that the intensification process resulted in an income increase of 92.5% in dairy sales and a reduction of 38% in the total cost of dairy production; however, the scale of production can be an obstacle for farmers to meet their business opportunities. The best financial results were achieved with the cows that showed the highest milk production and were fed the highest amount of concentrate, implying that the concentrate feeding can be an ally for the family farmer. The intensification process demonstrated be positive in meeting the production costs requirements provided that there is scale; the concentrate rationing tool sets a new perspective for the financial evaluation of a dairy farm; and the interaction between the extension technician and the farmer should bring knowledge so that the family farming becomes the main character in the production structure of the dairy supply chain.

The Family

The struggle for a fair distribution of land consolidated social movements and put pressure on the Brazilian government to carry out agrarian reform. The government allocated rural workers to the settlements and created programs to strengthen family farming. The global concern with the sustainability of the planet has led scholars to think that family farming is an alternative for the reduction of poverty and for the preservation of the environment. Based on this principle, the objective of this study was to analyze whether family farming used in the family units of the Joana Darc III settlement in Rondônia contributes to sustainable development. Materials and methods: The research is characterized as descriptive and a case study. We use an instrument developed by Anjos17, semi-structured, divided into 6 blocks: Identification of the profile of farmers; Characterization of the production unit; Characterization of crop production; Production commercialization; Financing and infrastructure and, Life conditions. The sample granted for accessibility was a group formed by 30 (26.3%) rural farmers from the Joana Darc III settlement who cultivate different crops, harvested from a population of 114 farmers. For the sample size, the systematic sampling formula presented by Barbetta26 was used. The research project considers the ethical aspect and is in accordance with CNS Resolution 196/96. Results: The results showed that the settlers received financing from Pronaf for investments in increasing production and technical assistance from EMATER. However, the production system adopted is traditional, with the use of pesticides in crops and the use of pesticides in animals and they practice burning to clean the land. This practice goes against the principles of clean agriculture, which aims to preserve the environment. It was also found that the settled farmers sell their products below the market price, reducing their profit margin. However, all were unanimous in ensuring that they would have better living conditions compared to the life before the settlement and believe in improvements in the future. Conclusions: It was rejected the hypothesis that family farming used in the family units of the Joana Darc III settlement in Rondônia contributes to sustainable development.

Abstract The family farming sector in Brazil is an important player in the country’s economy, especially in poor rural areas., The government has created the National Program for Strengthening Family Agriculture (PRONAF) to stimulate the development of family farming in Brazil. It a credit program that offers loans at a subsidized interest rate. Previous studies have shown that wealthier farmers and more developed regions have more access to subsidized credit. Due to this apparently unequal allocation of PRONAF resources, the study aims to analyze, through econometric regressions and interviews with specialists, the underlying determinants for the unequal credit allocation across the municipalities in Brazil. Results indicate that wealth and knowledge of farmers are significant determinants of loan size, whereas municipalities that represent a high risk have received significantly fewer resources from PRONAF per household head. Thereby, we can conclude that PRONAF’s operations are not fulfilling their pro-poor objectives of targeting poor farmers and municipalities. Progress in infrastructure and institutions to reduce risks, enhancement of farmers’ qualifications and organization, better access to markets and agroindustry, and improvements in rural extension services are found to be essential to increasing the access to PRONAF’s credit.

A agricultura familiar representa um segmento de grande importância econômica e social para o meio rural brasileiro. Devido a essa importância, observa-se um crescente interesse do governo por esse segmento, que se materializa em forma de políticas públicas. Dessa forma, em 2011, o Ministério do Desenvolvimento Agrário (MDA) criou o Programa Rede Brasil Rural, uma ferramenta virtual que visa facilitar o contato entre as cooperativas e associações de produtores rurais e os fornecedores de insumos, a logística de transporte e os consumidores públicos e privados. O principal objetivo da rede é auxiliar na comercialização, seja dos insumos necessários à produção, seja dos produtos procedentes da agricultura familiar através de uma plataforma eletrônica. O propósito do Programa Rede Brasil Rural é inserir novos conceitos e ampliar o limite geográfico de comercialização para o segmento através do comércio eletrônico. O objetivo desse estudo é escrever os mecanismos de funcionamento da Rede Brasil Rural, as medidas adotadas pelo governo para implantação do programa, os principais parceiros, as Contribuições que a rede proporcionará à agricultura familiar, além dos desafios a serem superados. Rural Brazil Net Work: Innovation Within The Family Agriculture Context ABSTRACT: Family agriculture is a segment of high economic and social importance for the Brazilian rural region. There is an increasing interest by the government manifested in public policies. The Ministry of Agrarian Development established in 2011 the Rural Brazil Network Program, a virtual tool that facilitates contact between cooperatives and associations of rural producers, suppliers, transport logistics and public and private consumers. The network´s main aim is the commercialization of required production supplies and of products produced by family agriculture through an electronic platform. Rural Brazil Network Program inserts new concepts and amplifies the geographical limit of commercialization for the segment through electronic commerce. Current analysis describes the functioning of the Rural Brazil Network Program, the measures worked by the government to adopt the program, the main partners, the contributions that the network provides to family agriculture and the challenges that should be coped with.

Dr. Indira Goswami (Mamoni Raisom Goswami) is one of the leading writers of the India today. She has won the Jnanpith Award for the year 2000, which is the highest literary award of India today. She belongs to the family of Sattra adhikars (Head of Vaisnava monastery) of South Kamrup in Assam. Her father, Late Uma Kanta Goswami, was an economist, who worked as the Director of Public Instruction of the Government of Assam. Indira did her schooling in Guwahati and Shillong. She has written eighteen novels, and several hundreds of short stories. Her novels and short stories have been translated into many Indian and Foreign languages. She tries to write from her direct experiences of her life. She only moulds her experiences with her imagination. Her language is like a velvet dress by which she endeavors to cover the restless soul in its journey through existence. But however hard, she might try, the fabric of this dress seldom takes on the texture of velvet or fine Muslim, and it comes out rather tattered. Sometimes they feel that it is a futile effort to arrest the soul with language and capture it in cold print. It is better, perhaps to feel it only in numb science. But, then, those very experiences impel a person to unload them from the psyche by creative effort which gives a sort of relief. And, the tattered fabric has a beauty which puts to shame the finest of velvets.
