This paper aims to demonstrate the existence of viable margins for the construction of rural development projects that take advantage of the small gaps in the configuration of the current economic system. The paper supports the idea that policies can serve as instruments for democratic appropriation of the State and markets, favoring the social reproduction of family farming, a central segment from the perspective of development herein adopted. The methodology employed relied on theoretical reflection and interviews with farmers, extension workers and public managers in the municipality of Pelotas-RS, Brazil. From the analyses of the empirical setting of this work and other spatial contexts, the paper discusses examples where the use of public institutions and markets led to advances or mitigated problems faced by historically deprecated segments, such as family farming in Brazil. This demonstrates the potential of local contexts to act as protagonists in coping with a structurally imposed unequal logic. The study concludes that there is no need to break with the economic system to then pursue the construction of future alternatives, and the multiple open possibilities in places may be a starting point for the construction of new projects towards the future.

The purpose of this paper is to bring the theory of reciprocity closer to the rural networks analysis methodology, in the context of endogenous rural development in mountain environments. The main idea behind the concept of rural networks is to give a new meaning to the expression 'rural development'. This re-signification arises from the observation of the diversity of territories and populations that exist in regions that are making the border between rural and urban increasingly invisible. Moreover, from this finding, the authors identify the need for a new methodology that can, at the same time, look at the spaces through the concept of networks and think rural development as something beyond mercantile exchanges. The proposal to approach the theory of reciprocity is to better understand, and hence justify, a differentiated look within social organizations, their functioning and the interconnections that can coexist within groups. It was found, in both theories, points of convergence; one of them is to make increasingly the formulation, application and analysis of public policies. A second point is the perception of spaces from the concept of social networks. Thus, it is in the junction of very close thoughts that the article proposes the analysis of these new forms of territories occupation, especially those that are in mountainous regions and are destined to the rural production in sustainable bases, with the objective of contributing with the construction of knowledge in the scenarios of public policies and endogenous rural development.

This article is intended to analyze the actions of three programs for family agriculture support in national level: the National Program for Strengthening of Family Agriculture (PRONAF), the Program for Acquisition of Foods (PAA) and the National Program for Sustainable Development of Rural Areas (PRONAT), by means of distinct strategies, namely: granting of subsidized credit, acquisition of farming and livestock production and fomentation of actions to develop the territory. However, their operation presents several issues, which renders it difficult to accomplish their objectives. For this paper, a survey was carried out on data from official sources and documents. Thus, we could observe that, despite the relevance of these three public policies in the fomentation of rural development, family farmers are still facing difficulties to commercialize their production, to access credit and are also affected by lack of technical assistance. Another problem observed was the priority given to modern agriculture, even in actions of support to family agricultures, as occurs with PRONAF. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Brazilian agriculture is undergoing major technological, economic, and socio-environmental transformations. The projected increase in world population to 9 billion people by 2050 will require an increase in food, fiber, and energy production, imposing improvements in agricultural productivity, reduction in production costs and sustainable use of natural resources. This short paper presents some results of a survey carried out with Brazilian farmers, companies and service providers about the digital technologies in use, as well as current and future applications, perceived benefits, and challenges. The questionnaire was prepared, organized, and made available to the public through the online platform was available in 2020. The results indicate that 84% of the interviewed farmers use at least one digital technology in their production system that differs according to technological complexity level. The main perceived benefit refers to the perception of increased productivity and the main challenges are the acquisition costs of machines, equipment, software, and connectivity. In this context, in order for Brazil to guarantee and maintain its productive capacity, it is essential to consider the digital transformation process, especially for small and medium-sized rural producers.

Este artigo apresenta uma reflexão teórica sobre os temas sociológicos envolvidos no debate sobre ruralidade e regulação ambiental nas sociedades contemporâneas. Aborda as noções de território e desenvolvimento rural a partir de um enfoque político-institucional, buscando situar contextos societários em redes amplas de interação e construção de localidades, resguardando aquilo que as conjunturas sócio-políticas particulares preservam de suas relações com totalidades concretas.This article presents a theoretical reflection of sociological themes involved in the debate on rurality and environmental regulation in contemporary societies. The paper discusses the notions of territory and rural development, starting from a political-institutional focus, attempting to locate the contexts of localities within wide nets of social reproduction. The paper's central argument emphasizes the importance of studies which insert the local power structures in the understanding of territorial dynamics.

The concept of multifunctionality suggests that agriculture provides to society productive, ecological, and cultural functions. Public policies that promote a combination of different functions can improve multifunctional landscape performance. The objective of this paper is to present an evaluation method of multifunctional landscapes based on values systems of local stakeholders that can be used to support the development of public policies for rural development. This method used a geographic information system to identify the elements present in the study area located in the city of Joinville, Santa Catarina, between 2010 and 2012. From interviews with 53 people were assigned values for 15 descriptors representing the productive, ecological and cultural features of each element identified. These values were weighted considering the percentage of area occupied by each element and its form index. The weighted results showed the best multifunctional performance with the Water Resources opposed to Agroecosystems. The proposed method has advantages because it allows: a) quantifying the intuitive perceptions facilitating the interpretation of complex situations, b) assess rural landscapes at different scales, c) understand the performance of each function and the balance between the functions of the landscape. But, it also has weaknesses: a) is not objective, since it derives from viewpoints b) responses may get interference related to the attitude of the researcher c) the results have limited validity in time and space, d) commitment of respondents defi ne the validity of the results.

Esse ensaio discute a questão agrária com seus impactos regionais e as relações capitalistas, na fase do capital monopolista. A questão agrária é uma pista para expor as contradições do capital monopolista e dos processos de mercado. A atual expansão do capital na forma de grandes extensões de produção monocultora absenteísta implica em uma reforma agrária negativa, que expõe o confronto entre agronegócios e politicas sociais com devastação ambiental. ABSTRACT: This paper discusses the agrarian issue with its regional impacts and capitalist relations, in the monopolistic capital phase The agrarian issue is a clue to the contradictions of monopolistic capital and on -going market process. The present day expansion of capital as big expanses of digitalized and absentees production amounts to a negative agrarian reform that exposes agrobusiness as the opposite of social issue and responsible for environment plundering.

Este estudo tem por objetivo analisar as racionalidades na tomada de decisão dos produtores de alfafa no município de Dezesseis de Novembro/RS. A metodologia da pesquisa é classificada como qualitativa, baseada no método explicativo. A coleta de dados consistiu na aplicação de um roteiro de entrevista com 15 produtores de alfafa do município. A avaliação dos dados ocorreu através da análise de conteúdo, a qual permitiu a compreensão do processo de tomada de decisão dos produtores de alfafa e a identificação da presença das orientações instrumental, social, expressiva e intrínseca, evidenciando, além disso, a manifestação das racionalidades instrumental e substantiva neste processo. Os resultados contribuem para o aprofundamento teórico das racionalidades no processo decisório dos produtores de alfafa e salientam a importância da temática do desenvolvimento rural, das orientações e das racionalidades inerentes à tomada de decisão dos agricultores, como forma de contribuir para o desenvolvimento local e regional. ABSTRACT This paper aims at analyzing the rationalities in the decision-making process of alfalfa producers from Dezesseis de Novembro/RS. This research methodology is classified as qualitative, based on the explanatory method. Data collection consisted of an interview script applied to 15 alfalfa producers. Data analysis was made through content analysis, which allowed for the comprehension of how the process of decision-making of alfalfa producers is made. Moreover, it also showed the presence of instrumental, social, expressive, and intrinsic orientations and the manifestation of instrumental and substantive rationalities in this process. Results can not only contribute to a theoretical deepening of the rationalities in the decision-making process of the alfalfa producers but also highlight the importance of the rural development theme, of the orientations and rationalities implied in the decision-making process of farmers as means of contributing to local and regional development.

Abstract This paper discusses how partnership between local organisations and Government inside governance spaces affects local development. The aim is to raise some critical issues about the concept of partnership and about partnership effectively for municipal development. Thus, the article uses partnership as its central theory. Specifically, it explores to what extent partnership is an effective strategy for local development in areas of historical conflict between local Government and local organisations in Pará State, Brazilian Amazonia. It focuses particularly on the municipality of Igarapé-Açú, located in north-east of Pará State. Igarapé-Açú was chosen because it is a singular case of local organisations and Government partnership since 2008 when a governance space was created to carry out a partnership process called Municipal Development Forum (MDF). Methodologically, the case study was carried out from a qualitative analysis with data gathered from documents and semi-structured interviews with key-informants. The paper shows that the great challenge to build partnerships between local Government and local organisations is not in these actors capacity to represent the state and civil society in a governance forum, but in their capacity to change the local institutional environment to enable this forum to propose changes in terms of rural development. The paper shows that institutional change does not happen rapidly; changes depend on a particular historical context. In conclusion, the case of Igarapé-Açú shows that in an environment where there is great political conflict much time is needed to create links between the rural actors.

In this article we summarize a discussion about the main thesis about the pertinent of land reform in the beginning of twenty first century in Brazil. The papers starts with general contextualization of the Brazilian rural situation after a decades of structural reforms followings the discussion of thesis against and favorable the land reform. On the one side we observe that exist an expressive number of researchers that are defending the land reform because they are understanding that this policy is very important to combat the poverty and social inequalities, and the other side we saw also another group of researchers that are against the land reform because they believe that the time for the land reform is already gone. We concluded that academic debate about agrarian reform now is less important than it was in the post war period, especially in the 1960s.

This paper analyzes a new form of organization of agrarian reform projects, based on the valuation of extractive practices and of the traditional communities in Amazon: the Sustainable Development Projects – SDP as a contribution to the understanding of environmental and social processes involving the dynamic of agrarian reform in Brazil. It also allows a reflection on different approaches to sustainability of rural settlements in the Amazon Region. The discussion will be supported by the case study of the SDP Nova Bonal, located in the municipality of Senador Guiomar, in the state of Acre.

Este artigo traz uma reflexão crítica sobre a análise comparativa dos processos de desenvolvimento rural no Brasil, na União Europeia e na China. Argumenta-se que os elementos contextuais e/ou as características do processo, em grande parte ignorados em abordagens do tipo estudo de caso (seja porque são mais ou menos invisíveis e/ou porque são mais ou menos autoevidentes), podem vir à tona através de uma abordagem comparativa. Ao mesmo tempo, a natureza específica dos processos singulares de desenvolvimento rural pode, do mesmo modo, ser explicitada por meio de comparações sistematicamente organizadas. Assim, os atuais processos de desenvolvimento rural são caracterizados como um conjunto de respostas às falhas de mercado - um conjunto de respostas que requer e envolve a construção ativa de novos mercados aninhados.This paper contains a critical reflection on a comparative analysis of rural development processes in Brazil, the European Union and China. It argues that those contextual elements and/or process characteristics that are mostly ignored by a case-study approach (for being more or less invisible and/or for being more or less self-evident) might come to the fore through a comparative approach. Simultaneously, the particular nature of single rural development processes might equally be specified through systematically organized comparisons. In this way, current rural development processes are characterized as a set of responses to market failures - a set of responses that requires and involves the active construction of new, nested markets.

A partir da emergência da ideia de sustentabilidade, a agricultura adquiriu novas conotações, associadas não apenas ao aspecto produtivo, mas também à conservação dos recursos naturais e dos territórios rurais, em um reconhecimento de sua multifuncionalidade. Com base nesta noção, que valoriza as funções socioambientais desempenhadas pelas famílias rurais e pelas agriculturas praticadas, o presente artigo analisa um assentamento rural no estado de São Paulo, buscando identificar quais são e de que forma se expressam as funções para além da produção neste território particular. Por meio de uma metodologia de cunho quali-quantitativo, observou-se que, no assentamento em foco, a agricultura encerra em si questões de coesão territorial, manutenção da segurança alimentar, conservação da agrobiodiversidade e de fomento a outras atividades produtivas, sendo o elemento central da reconstrução de um modo de vida rural neste ambiente.From the idea of sustainability, agriculture has acquired new connotations beyond the productive aspect, and associated with conservation of natural resources and rural territories, in recognition of their multiple functions. Based on this concept, which values the socioenvironmental functions performed by rural families, the present paper made an analysis on a rural settlement in the São Paulo state, aiming to identify functions beyond the production and their expression in this particular territory. With a methodology based on qualitative and quantitative information, it was observed that, in the settlement in focus, agriculture carries with it questions of territorial cohesion, maintenance of food security, agrobiodiversity conservation and the encouragement of other producing activities, being the central element of the rebuild of a rural way of life in this environment.

Este trabalho procurou identificar como os atores sociais vinculados à agricultura familiar (lideranças de produtores familiares, profissionais de ciências agrárias, autoridades municipais, pesquisadores e professores universitários) interpretam o papel do Estado para o desenvolvimento dessa categoria na região sul de Minas Gerais. Com relação à coleta de dados, utilizou-se a técnica "focused interview". Os entrevistados foram seledonados pelo método não-probabilístico de amostragem por julgamento. Os resultados revelaram que a interpretação feita pelos entrevistados aproxima-se mais da perspectiva do Estado patrimonialistaburocrático autoritário, tendo em vista que os depoimentos dos entrevistados corroboram com a reprodução das relações de dependência dos agricultores familiares em relação ao Estado. Por outro lado, alguns atores reconhecem a necessidade de mecanismos que incentivem a participação social, no entanto, salientaram que a mobilização dos produtores familiares na região ainda é incipiente e desarticulada.This paper aims to identify how the social individuals linked to family agriculture (leadership of familiar producers, professionals of agrarian sciences, town authorities, researchers and university professors) play the role of the State for the development of this category in the South Region of Minas Gerais. ln relation to the data collection, the technique called "focused interview" was used. The interviewees wcre selected by the non probabilistic sampling by judgement method. The results revealed that the interpretation done by the interviewees is closest to the patrimonialistic, bureaucratic and authoritative State's perspective, as the statements suggest a bigger State's intervention. On the other side, some individuals recognize the necessity of the mechanisms that encourage social participation, although mentioning that the familiar producers' mobilization in the region is still incipient and inarticulate.

Este artigo documenta as condições de crédito das famílias que vivem em áreas rurais no Brasil. A análise é feita em duas etapas. Primeiro, utilizamos uma abordagem indireta onde o racionamento de crédito é associado à importância da riqueza para as decisões das famílias, através dos microdados dos Censos Demográficos de 1991 e 2000. Em seguida, utilizamos informações sobre crédito formal. Nossos resultados sugerem que (i) há fortes indícios de racionamento de crédito; (ii) há grande dispersão regional desse racionamento; e (iii) as condições de crédito das famílias rurais não guardam relação direta com o montante de crédito formal.This paper presents the families' credit conditions in rural areas in Brazil. We perform the analysis in two steps. First, we follow an indirect approach, where the credit rationing is associated to the wealth importance in the families' decisions, using micro data from Demographic Census of 1991 and 2000. The second stage is based on information about formal credit. The results point out to: (i) strong evidences of credit rationing; (ii) an unequal regional distribution of this credit rationing; e (iii) no direct relationship between the families' credit conditions and the total availability of formal credit.

A motivação principal desse trabalho é avaliar a capacidade da abordagem territorial em contribuir com o enfrentamento da pobreza e das desigualdades sociais brasileiras, representando uma alternativa de geração de emprego e renda em territórios rurais deprimidos. Por meio dos Consórcios de Segurança Alimentar e Desenvolvimento Local (CONSADs) analisa-se as potencialidades e as dificuldades que essa estratégia vem enfrentando para estabelecer a cooperação entre o poder público e a sociedade civil voltada para o fomento, o apoio logístico e a canalização de recursos para as iniciativas territoriais, projetos e ações estruturantes que visam a geração de emprego e renda, com a garantia de segurança alimentar e do desenvolvimento local.This paper aims at evaluating the capacity of the territorial approach to contribute to poverty issues and Brazilian social inequalities, representing an alternative of employment and income generation in depressed rural territories. Through Consórcios de Segurança Alimentar e Desenvolvimento Local-CONSADs (Food Safety Consortia and Local Development) we analyzed the potentialities and difficulties the strategy is facing to establish the cooperation between public power and civil society regarding fomentation, logistic support and canalization of resources for territorial initiatives, projects and structuring actions that seek employment and income generation with food safety warranty and local development.
