Full textAbstract:
Family farms experience conflict in the everyday operation of the farm (Weigel &
Weigel, 1990). However, family farm members rarely bring up conflicts to the other party;
rather, they keep their frustration to themselves or wait until things boil over. Waters (2013)
noted family farm members avoid bringing up any conflict or issues, with one son noting
?basically, dad says we?re doing this and I say okay? (Waters, 2013, p. 30). It is in this
communicative environment that a business functions, attempting to remain profitable, while
maintaining family bonds that are the foundation of the business itself.
This project used intragroup conflict theory to explore the dynamics of everyday conflict
in family farm businesses. Intragroup conflict theory presents four types of conflict (task,
relational, process, and status) that influence group outcomes differently (Jehn, 1997). The first
focus of this project was how these four conflict types influence three important outcomes for
family farm members: job satisfaction, communication satisfaction, and profitability. Only status
conflict significantly predicted all three outcomes variables for family farm members.
Additionally, this project furthered intragroup conflict theory by exploring two potential
antecedents for intragroup conflict: emotional intelligence (awareness of own and management
of own) and family communication patterns (conversation orientation and conformity
orientation). Conformity orientation significantly predicted task, process, and status conflict in
the model. These findings were discussed in light of the previous theoretical work in family
businesses, then in the family farm context specifically.

Designed financial distress prediction model is intended directly for the farmer (decision-maker) in order to diagnose the farm’s financial condition and predict the likelihood of financial distress, by using financial information of his farm. There are identified family farm characteristics in which family farms have higher risks to run in financial distress and are guidelines for the family farms that intend to more carefully monitor and control their financial condition. The aim of the research: after analysing the conception of financial distress and identifying the factors determining the financial condition as well as related indicators and prediction models, to methodologically justify and design financial distress prediction model of family farms.Parengtas finansinio išsekimo prognozavimo modelis tiesiogiai skirtas ūkininkui, kuris panaudodamas savo ūkio finansinę informaciją, galėtų diagnozuoti ūkio finansinę būklę ir iš anksto numatyti finansinio išsekimo grėsmę. Disertacijoje nustatytos ir įvardintos ūkininkų ūkių charakteristikos, kurioms esant ūkiai turi didesnes grėsmes finansiškai išsekti, yra gairės ūkininkų ūkiams, kurie ketina atidžiau stebėti savo veiklą ir kontroliuoti finansinę būklę. Tyrimo tikslas – ištyrus finansinio išsekimo sampratą, identifikavus finansinę būklę sąlygojančius veiksnius, indikatorius ir prognozavimo modelius, metodologiškai pagrįsti ir parengti ūkininkų ūkių finansinio išsekimo prognozavimo modelį.

Full textAbstract:
After obtaining independence from the USSR in 1991, the Republic of Moldova carried out an insider privatization of the land belonging to former Soviet collective farms. As a result, almost 900,000 small family farms emerged, the majority of whom are still active today. Although they play an important socioeconomic role, policy makers neglect them as a residual, shrinking phenomenon. By adopting the theoretical perspective of peasant economics, this dissertation aims at assessing the health status of these farms over ten years after the land reform, and their evolution over time. Data from an original mixed quantitative and qualitative survey carried out on a sample of 126 farms in spring 2015, and the databases of the Household Budget Survey for the period 2006-2013 are used. The main drivers of farmers’ livelihood choices are identified by means of a 31-item Likert scale, and a comprehensive picture of the typical family farm is drawn. Farms are then grouped according to land size, level of commercialization and location, and their evolution over time is analyzed by means of Markov transition chains and multinomial logistic regressions. A focus on production strategies follows. Finally, the impact of agriculture on poverty levels and the implications of alternative livelihood choices are assessed by means of counterfactual incomes and life levels calculated through propensity score matching. It emerges that families were allocated land plots without the tools for working them. Therefore, they adopt low-input, labour-intensive production strategies and are mainly subsistence-oriented. Farm income, although small, plays a key role in relieving vulnerable people from poverty, so that land is a fundamental social buffer. Moreover, home food production is important for social and self-appraisal. For these reasons, an agricultural development strategy based on farm intensification rather than growth and on leasing rather than sale of land is proposed.Dopo l’indipendenza dall’URSS (1991), la Moldavia ha privatizzato le terre delle fattorie collettive distribuendo voucher ai lavoratori.

Segue un focus sulle strategie di produzione. Infine, l’impatto dell’agricoltura sulla povertà e le implicazioni di diverse strategie di sopravvivenza sono analizzati attraverso i redditi teorici calcolati con il propensity score matching. Emerge che le famiglie hanno ricevuto la terra ma non i mezzi per lavorarla, per cui sono costrette ad adottare tecniche di produzione ad alta intensità di lavoro e bassa intensità di capitale, e producono quasi esclusivamente per l’autoconsumo. Il reddito agricolo aiuta le famiglie vulnerabili a combattere la povertà, per cui la terra rappresenta uno strumento di welfare. Inoltre, la capacità di produrre cibo e la proprietà terriera sono motivo di autorealizzazione e generano considerazione sociale. Per questi motivi, si suggerisce una strategia di sviluppo agricolo che punti sull’intensificazione della produzione piuttosto che sulla concentrazione della proprietà e che agevoli l’affitto delle terre piuttosto che la loro vendita.

Выясняется, что семьям были выделены земельные участки без инструментов для обрабатывания их, поэтому они вынуждены выбрать для себя методы производства которые включают в себя интенсивные трудовые показатели при маленьких затрат и производят почти исключительно для собственного потребления. Доходы от семейных ферм, даже если они маленькие, играют ключевую роль в освобождении уязвимых групп населения от бедности, таким образом, земля является основным социальным амортизатором. Кроме того, производство домашних продуктов и владение землёй являются причиной для самореализации и порождает социальную позитивную оценку. По этим причинам, предлагается стратегия развития сельского хозяйство которое обратит внимание больше на интенсификации производства чем на увеличения размера земельных участков в собственности и на способствования арендования земли, а не на её продажу.

XYZ Farms, a family farming operation located in Northeast Iowa, has been in business since 1924. Currently the operation utilizes 1,300 acres of farm ground to produce corn, soybeans and alfalfa and feeds 3,000 head of hogs and 500 head of cattle annually. The family operation has evolved over the years and has passed ownership down within the family from generation to generation. It has come time that the operation’s current owners are looking to retire and peacefully transition the family operation on to the next generation. A non-conventional case study structure will highlight and assess the history of the family operation and introduce them to current practices and ownership. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and create a feasible transition plan for XYZ Farms, while minimizing the social and economic costs associated with farm business succession. Further analysis will allow the operation to identify and utilize a succession planning framework, which is important for farm families to possess when looking to build and begin the planning process. Quantitative, along with qualitative, analysis are utilized to understand the operations need for succession planning and the feasibility of doing so. Findings indicate that it is advantageous to work through a sound succession plan including an open line of communication with both current and future owners of the operation. The ability to have upfront conversations and meetings will allow for the discussion of the operation’s future between both parties involved. By implementing a sound and feasible succession plan, XYZ Farms will be able to continue to be a family owned and operated farm for many years to come.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated socialisation processes on Scottish family fanns. Although land and knowledge transfers within established succession systems are important to environmental, social, economic and cultural sustainability issues, the reasons behind changing succession patterns are not well understood. Past studies have tended to focus on how external factors are associated wifu particular occupational choices. However, this neglects the role of socialisation processes and identity in framing behaviour. Therefore, this study looked at how children's identities are constructed and how these, in tum, frame particular occupational choices. The results suggest that children develop fanner identities according to four salient dimensions of established fanner ideal types: maleness, commitment, common sense and physical robustness. A key conclusion is that whether or not children develop fanner identities acts a good predictor of their occupational choices. Also, fanner identities are established relatively early and are relatively non-reversible, indicating the importance of the 'successful' socialisation of ,' children into their family fann context. Further, these socialisation processes are integrated within endogenous cycles, oscillating between socialisation processes,' succession processes and fann trajectories. Moreover, while issues and processes that are external to the fann and family context have no objective relevance for individuals' occupational choices, they may become subjectively relevant in the context of these endogenous cycles. Keywords: Family fanning, succession, Scotland, knowl~dge transfer, successors, socialisation, identities, social constructedness, fanner ideal types, commitment, gender, common sense, physical robustness, internalisation, abstract identification, experience-based identification, endogenous cycles, fann business trajectories, structure, agency.

For five generations, Lauver Family Farms has been founded upon faith, family, and farming near Rockwell City, IA. It is these core principles and beliefs that drive everyday actions through conservation minded decisions, community involvement, and a passion for the land. Presently, the farm is operated by Grandfather Don Lauver, Father Kevin Lauver, and sons Andrew and Jacob Lauver. The Lauver Family Farm was originally purchased in 1942 by Joseph Gordon, who at his peak held 700 acres in his name. In 1945 Glen and Viola Lauver purchased what is now Lauver Family Farms, located on the Des Moines Lobe land region of Iowa. The Des Moines Lobe is a glacial lobe encompassing rich, heavy soils with high organic matter, requiring dredge ditches and tiling in many areas. Through a commitment to conservation, corn and soybean acres are rotated annually. With regard to corn cultivation and planting practices, soybean stubble is field cultivated once, followed by planting. On soybean ground, the corn stalks are disk ripped, and then field cultivated twice before planting soybeans. The goal is to minimize trips through the field by exhibiting these conservation tillage practices. If land has much slope or erosion potential, then it is only disked and then planted. Currently, the farm is comprised of 400 acres of row crops and 50 acres of wetland, 30 acres on the Home Farm and 20 acres on the Obye Farm, enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program in 2002. Kevin and Don Lauver, the primary decision makers, requested an analysis of the environmental and economic impact of the Conservation Reserve Program on the farm. By taking acres out of production for at least 10 to 15 years that perennially drown due to often wet soil conditions, they will be able to utilize the Conservation Reserve Program as a risk management tool. Now, Lauver Family Farms is faced with a decision to determine if a 10 or 15 year enrollment in the Conservation Reserve Program has the greatest economic and environmental return, since the current enrollment expires in 2016. Procedures and methods were established to meet the purpose of this thesis to determine which option was the most profitable long-term for the operation. The purpose includes evaluating the sources of data relevant to Lauver Family Farms decision by utilizing decision tools to make a collective decision on the future of the farmland and opportunity costs analyzed. Lauver Family Farms’ objective for this project was to determine how the Conservation Reserve Program provides a return on the investment of the decision to re-enroll, or even enroll more acres in the program. This analysis will be used each time an enrollment decision must be made, and will be of significant importance as sons Andrew and Jacob Lauver make management decisions in the years to come.

Full textAbstract:
This study focuses on the identities of family farm operators and the challenges to maintaining viable farm operations in today’s agricultural economy. Employing a grounded qualitative approach, the author conducted 18 in-depth interviews with principal farm operators from Iowa and Tennessee. Using the insights of farmers from geographically different agricultural regions, this study notes how preserving family histories, socialization processes, and farming as a moral career inform operators’ understandings of themselves and the work they do. The analysis also focuses on how family farm operators contend with a globalized agricultural economy and the moral and ethical concerns of managing a farm. Farm operators implement various tactics and framing mechanisms for resolving and, in some cases, circumventing these challenging issues in order to maintain their farms, identities, and family farm legacies.

Zarth, Nelson Alexandre. "Caracterização e análise da cadeia da vitivinicultura no Sudoeste do Paraná." Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná, 2011. http://repositorio.utfpr.edu.br/jspui/handle/1/259.
Full textAbstract:
A viticultura na Região Sudoeste do Paraná teve início com a colonização da região, nas décadas de 1940 e 1950, porém, somente a partir da década de 1990 se transformou em uma alternativa de renda e foco de investimentos produtivos. Para que esse setor possa se estruturar e se desenvolver é necessário reduzir o seu risco produtivo e de mercado. Para isso, é imprescindível que se conheça e que se possam delimitar quais são as potencialidades e problemas desse setor. Dessa forma, esse trabalho buscou caracterizar a vitivinicultura da Região Sudoeste do Paraná, diagnosticando os principais entraves e potencialidades da cadeia produtiva. A pesquisa teve abrangência nos municípios da Região Sudoeste do Paraná e que têm a vitivinicultura como uma atividade de expressão ou que estejam planejando fomentá-la. O estudo foi conduzido de 2007 a 2011 e foi estruturado em duas fases: pesquisa com informantes qualificados e diagnóstico em campo. Na primeira fase, realizou-se a coleta de dados sobre a vitivinicultura da região. Na segunda fase, utilizou-se dos Cadastros de Produtores Rurais de Uva fornecidos nas reuniões com informantes qualificados. Definiu-se que o conjunto da população objetivo seria de 372 produtores de uva, com a amostra mínima de 18%. Foram entrevistados, aleatoriamente, 73 produtores de uva. Os dados foram plotados em Planilhas Eletrônicas no Programa Excell, transformados em tabelas gráficos e analisados. A vitivinicultura na Região Sudoeste é exercida por pequenos produtores rurais, com forte vertente na tradição familiar e é praticada, predominantemente, por pessoas com idade superior a 50 anos e com escolaridade até a quarta série do ensino fundamental. Os parreiras pesquisados possuem área de no máximo um hectare, contribuindo em média com 28% da renda bruta anual. A região apresenta características favoráveis ao cultivo de uvas, principalmente “uvas rústicas” (Vitis labrusca), as quais demonstraram boa adaptação à região. As principais cultivares utilizadas são: Bordô (44%), Niágara Branca e Niágara Rosada (35,08%), Concord (8,92%) e Isabel (3,18%). Os solos dos parreirais apresentam conformações de topografia variada. A chuva excessiva em determinadas épocas é apontada como o principal problema climático que reduz a produção e qualidade da uva. Predomina-se a enxertia da cultivar copa tipo garfagem-de-topo no inverno, em porta-enxertos enraizados no local. Os tratamentos são feitos, predominantemente, de forma manual com equipamentos costais. As principais doenças são a antracnose (Elsionoe ampelina), podridão da uva madura (Glomerela cingulata) e o míldio (Plasmopara viticola). As principais pragas foram as formigas (Acromirmex sp.), pérola-da-terra (Eurizococus brasiliensis) e trips (Selenothrips rubrocinctus e Frankliniella sp.). O controle de plantas invasoras é feito através de roçadas manuais e mecânicas, capinas manuais e químicas. A poda é curta e realizada, predominantemente, em agosto. Os vinhos produzidos na região são classificados como coloniais e artesanais e poucos têm registro no Ministério da Agricultura. Observa-se uma forte tendência de não continuidade da atividade vitivinícola pela evasão do jovem e falta de mão-de-obra qualificada principalmente para as atividades que exigem maior conhecimento técnico.Viticulture in the South West Region of Paraná began with the colonization of the region, in the 1940s and 1950s, but only from the 1990s it become an alternative source of income and productive investments focus. For this sector can take shape and develop it is necessary to reduce their production and market risk. Therefore, it is essential that the potential and problems of this sector can be know and defined. Thus, this study seeks to characterize the viticulture of the South West Region of Paraná, diagnosing the main constraints and potentialities of the production chain. The study comprehends the Southwest Region municipalities of Paraná wich has the viticulture as an expressive activity or that they are planning to promote it. The study was conducted from 2007 to 2011 and was structured in two phases: a survey with qualified informants and field diagnosis. In the first phase a data collection was carried out on the viticulture of the region. In the second phase, were used the Registers provided from de Grape Farmers in meetings with qualified informants. It was decided that the whole population goal would be of 372 grape growers, with the minimum sample of 18%. Seventy three grape growers were interviewed at random. The data was plotted in Excel Spreadsheet Program, transformed into graphs tables and analyzed. The industry in the Southwest Region is exercised by small farmers, with a strong strand in the family tradition and it predominantly is practiced by people aged over 50 years old and with schooling up to fourth grade of elementary school. The vines surveyed have a maximum area of one hectare, on average contributing with 28% of the annual gross income. The region has favorable characteristics for growing grapes, mainly "rustic grape" (Vitis labrusca), which demonstrated good adaptation to the region. The main cultivars used are: „Bordô‟ (44%), „Niagara branca‟ and „Niágara Rosada‟ (35.08%), „Concord‟ (8.92%) and „Isabel‟ (3.18%). The soils of the vineyards have conformations of varied topography. The excessive rain in certain periods is seen as the main climate problem that reduces the production and the quality of grapes. The scion, grafting kind-of-top in winter, rootstocks rooted in place predominates to grafting. The treatments are done by hand with backpack equipment. The main diseases are anthracnose (Elsionoe ampelina), ripe rot of grape (Glomerela cingulata) and downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola). The main pests are the (Acromirmex sp.), „perola da terra‟ (Eurizococus brasiliensis) and trips (Selenothrips rubrocinctus and Frankliniella sp.). The weed control is done through manual and mechanical mowing, hand and chemical weeding. Pruning is short and hater held in August. The wines produced in the region are classified as colonial and hand made and a few are registered at the Ministry of Agriculture. There is a strong tendency of not continuity of the vitiviniculture by circumnenting of the youth and lack of skilled labor mainly for activities that require more technical knowledge.

Esta dissertação apresenta aspectos socioeconômicos e de produção relacionados às feiras-livres do Sudoeste do Paraná, comparando os feirantes e consumidores da Associação de Feirantes de Pato Branco-PR (Afepato) com os feirantes e consumidores da Associação dos Feirantes Agroecológicos de Ampére-PR (Afaeco). O estudo mostrou que os feirantes pertencem a categoria da Agricultura Familiar, a partir da análise dos meios clássicos de produção: terra, capital e trabalho. A satisfação dos feirantes da Afepato se estabelece nos vieses econômico e de produção. Os feirantes da Afaeco incorporam a questão social e ambiental às questões monetárias na busca da autorrealização. Os consumidores das duas feiras-livres estudadas buscam um espaço diferenciado de comercialização com produtos frescos, preço baixo, se comparado aos mercados convencionais, e de boa qualidade. Afepato e Afaeco vivem um momento auspicioso, no restante do Sudoeste as feiras-livres apresentam um cenário de fragilidade.This dissertation presents socioeconomic and production aspects related to open-air markets in the Southwest of Parana State, comparing vendors and consumers of farmers market association of Pato Branco city (Afepato) to the vendors and consumers of the association of agroecological farmers market of Ampere city in Parana State (Afaeco). The study showed that the vendors belong to the category of family farming, in particular from the analysis of the traditional means of production: land, capital and labor. The satisfaction of the fair Afepato settles bias in economic and production. The farmers market of Afaeco incorporate the social and environmental issues in pursuit of monetary self- actualization. The consumers of the two open-air markets studied seek a differentiated area of marketing with fresh products, low price, compared to conventional markets, and good quality. Afepato and Afaeco live in an auspicious moment. In the rest of the Southwest open-air markets show a picture of fragility.

Resumo: O presente trabalho buscou compreender e debater a estrutura e o funcionamento informal da pequena e média produção de cachaça no interior do estado de São Paulo. Busquei entender e debater como o agente produtivo se caracteriza e se singulariza dentro do mercado de cachaça, compreendido este na sua dimensão social, de grandes singularidades e de competitividade discrepante. Foquei os produtores que não estão de acordo com a legislação vigente, e, portanto, aparecem como informais. Sustento a ideia de que a informalidade está relacionada ao habitus e as práticas dos produtores. A pesquisa desenvolvida se inseriu no debate sobre o perfil dos agentes produtores no contexto de uma reconfiguração do rural e pela transformação dos mercados e forma de produção de cachaça. O trabalho buscou entender e debater a informalidade como sendo uma forma de resistência alternativa às imposições burocráticas e à normatização das atividades.

Resumo: Parte de um projeto municipal, que recebe o nome de "Negócio do Campo", a realização da Feira Noturna da Agricultura Familiar em Araraquara-SP, ocorre em todos os finais de tarde de quinta-feira desde julho de 2014 no pátio do prédio da estação ferroviária da cidade. Fazem parte da feira 36 feirantes, entre barracas de hortifrútis, alimentação e artesanato que comercializam com aproximadamente 800 consumidores por feira. Assim, compõe-se um espaço delimitado fisicamente, porém dotado de uma amplitude de relações sociais que perpassa esta fronteira. Essa amplitude se complexifica ao adicionarmos especificidades da feira em questão, como o fato de seus feirantes serem, em sua maioria, agricultores familiares assentados, característica que atribui significados particulares a esses feirantes, pela relação indissociável de casa/trabalho/família. A construção dessa pesquisa objetivou analisar a feira noturna da agricultura familiar de Araraquara-SP enquanto espaço de reprodução social e econômica dos feirantes, para isso o recorte teórico metodológico utilizado foi uma revisão bibliográfica sobre feiras e agricultura familiar no Brasil, dez entrevistas intencionais e oito meses de trabalho de campo, sustentadas pela sociologia reflexiva de Pierre Bourdieu, somada a sociologia econômica e sociologia rural
Abstract: Part of a city project called "Business of the Field", the family farming Night Fair in Araraquara-SP, takes place every thursday afternoon since July 2014 in the courtyard of the city Railway station. The fair (a kind of marketplace) has about 36 farmers, including tents of fruits and vegetables, food and handicrafts, with approximately 800 consumers per fair. It's a space physically defined, but endowed with an amplitude of social relations that crosses it's borders. This amplitude becomes more complex when we add specificities of the fair in question, as most of its marketers are settled family farmers, a characteristic that attributes particular meanings to these marketers, due to the inseparable relationship of home / work / family. This research's objective is to analyze the family farming Night Fair in Araraquara-SP as space of social and economic reproduction of the fairgrounds. To do that, the theoretical methodological clipping used was a bibliographical revision about fairs and family farming in Brazil, with ten intentional interviews and eight months of fieldwork, supported by Pierre Bourdieu's reflective sociology, coupled with economic sociology and rural sociology

Full textAbstract:
This study examines change in the family farming sector through the lens of succession. It explores empirically the succession expectations and intentions of farmers and their children in a changing contextual landscape. The research is underpinned by two theoretical concepts: the ‘farm adjustment strategy’ facilitated the development of structural reference points in respect of the family farm business and household; and application of tenets of van der Ploeg’s (1994) ‘styles’ work enabled analysis of structural change in the farm business to be viewed through a qualitative succession lens. A ‘pragmatist’ mixed-methods approach comprised a farmer survey and next generation in-depth interviews. The analytical approach accommodated issues of temporality and facilitated the linkage and study of multiple components of change. It was found that immense variability exists in terms of how succession is managed in practice. The structural characteristics and capacity of the farm business clearly impact upon succession choices and positions, but intrinsic drivers also have a very significant bearing on succession and its potential outcome. The research revealed three broad outcomes of next generation succession intention, each forming the basis of a succession style: a desire and intention to succeed to the family farm, reflected in more traditional succession modes; an intention to leave the family farm, thus opting out of farming per se; and part-time succession, characterised by off-farm professional work, flexibility and a lifestyle preference that encompasses aspects of farming and non-farming worlds. The findings presented in this thesis suggest that, through succession, forms of farm management and operation are evolving. Family farming entities are adapting and becoming increasingly heterogeneous. Through a contemporary succession lens, the notion of the family farm now comprises an assortment of family-owned and family-managed businesses with an array of diversified business, amenity and farming interests.

Full textAbstract:
This doctoral thesis explores the agrarian development in 20th Estonia and the role of family farming during three major agricultural transformations. It consists of four papers and an introductory chapter for which the common departure are the situation appearing in the Estonian farming landscape after the regained independence in 1991. The first three studies analyse comparative aspects on Estonia's interwar experiences with focus on land reform, agricultural co-operation, and agricultural export development. The fourth study focuses on the role of private plots during the Soviet period and the conversion of these into subsistence holdings after 1991. By merging the perspectives in these papers, the introductory chapter explores the impacts and legacies of previous transformations on the post-Soviet agricultural transformation up to 2004. The thesis specifically analyses the long-term effects of perceptions of markets and the role of agricultural production, changes in the agrarian property relations, organisation of agricultural production and co-operation. In analytical terms, this is discussed from the perspectives of continuity and discontinuity. Besides the several societal changes affecting the agrarian property relations in 20th century Estonia, the radical and decisive shifts have also affected markets, trade and economic integration. Since the end of the First World War, Estonia has been quickly thrown between different economic-political systems and legal environments. From the perspective of the small state’s dependence on trade and reliance on a few markets, the upheavals in the early 1920s, after World War II, and not least the fall of the Soviet Union, Estonia’s long-term economic development has been significantly affected. In this context the role of agriculture has changed. Most important, however, this dissertation shows how the idea of small-scale family farming survived throughout the planned economic period and became an indispensable production unit, even though it turned out to be a myth as soon as the Soviet system was dissolved and the exposure to international competition began after 1991.

Agricultural activity is considered one of main sources of food supply for humanity. It contributes to local, regional, and national development. However, the activity results in significant adverse environmental impacts when it is not developed based on social, economical and environmental sustainability aspects. The need of an efficient use of natural resources with a minimal environmental impact poses as a challenge when it is related to the solution of problems resulted from the use of energy sources coming from the environment. The establishment of organized productive systems for local farmers provides better management of local natural resources besides favoring, from a sustainability perspective, a better economic organization of the environment. The town of Torre de Pedra / SP is part of the Environmental Protection Area Corumbataí-Botucatu-Tejupa, Perimeter Botucatu The region has a traditional vocation for dairy farm production and it presents problems ranging from environmental to socioeconomic aspects.

Qualquer estudo sobre a cadeia produtiva do tabaco reconhece que o elo mais frágil do processo é o fumicultor. Neste estudo de caso abordou-se este complexo tema na perspectiva interdisciplinar, iniciou-se com contextualização da fumicultura como uma agricultura familiar especializada, a seguir uma analogia da folha do tabaco como duas faces de um desenvolvimento sustentável: o lado do bem refente ao lado econômico, e o lado do mal como as consequências na saúde publica. E finalmente os riscos e qualidade de vida no cultivo do tabaco. Um questionário semiestruturado baseado no instrumento Vigilância de Fatores de Risco e Proteção para Doenças Crônicas por Inquérito Telefônico (Vigitel) sob a responsabilidade da Secretaria de Vigilância em Saúde do Ministério da Saúde foi utilizado para captar algumas informações sobre saúde das comunidades. O instrumento genérico e de auto percepção, Medical Outcomes Study 36 – Item short form health survey (SF-36), traduzido e validado para o português foi utilizado para verificar se haveria diferença de qualidade de vida na saúde nas duas comunidades de diferentes sistemas de produção do tabaco; Itaiba com tabaco tipo Burley no município de Marmeleiro – Pr e, Volta Grande com tipo Virgínea no município de Irati - Pr, mostrou-se adequado nesta pesquisa. A confiabilidade dos domínios foi avaliada através do Coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach cujo resultado foi de 0,841 para Itaiba e 0,722 para Volta Grande. A validade dos domínios foi através da Correlação de Spearman cujos resultados foram positivos e estatisticamente significativos na maioria das correlações nas duas comunidades. Não houve diferença significativa no teste t de Student quando avaliada a variável localidade e atividade agrícola com os indivíduos das duas comunidades excluindo os aposentados. Havendo diferença quando utilizadas as variáveis de patologias como Hipertensão Arterial (HA), Diabetes (Db), colesterol, osteoporose em relação às dimensões que avaliavam o aspecto físico. Os indivíduos das duas comunidades conhecem a importância da utilização dos Equipamentos de Proteção Individual (EPIs), mas utilizam de forma precária. A compreensão do risco no trabalho da cultura do tabaco está prejudicada quando se refere à própria pessoa, como nas demais atividades agrícolas, os riscos parecem que afetam somente os outros indivíduos. Pela presença mensal do Agente Comunitário de Saúde (ACS) percebida pelo acompanhamento de hipertensos e diabéticos no Sistema de Informação de Atenção Básica (SIAB) do Ministério da Saúde; bem como menor consumo de automedicação, há um melhor acompanhamento da população da comunidade de Itaiba, município de Marmeleiro em relação à comunidade de Volta Grande, município de Irati. A comparação de qualidade de vida na saúde com mesmo instrumento na atividade agrícola poderá ser realizada futuramente com a construção de trabalhos semelhantes.Any study on the tobacco production chain acknowledges that the weakest link in the process is the tobacco grower. In this case study, this complex topic was approached in an interdisciplinary perspective. It began with the contextualization of the tobacco growing farms as a specialized family-based agriculture, then an analogy of the tobacco leaf as two sides of a sustainable development: the good side related to the economic aspect, and the side of evil as the consequences on public health. And finally, the risks and the quality of life in the cultivation of tobacco. A semi-structured survey based on Surveillance of Risk and Protective Factors for Chronic Diseases by Telephone Inquiry (Vigitel) under the responsibility of the Secretariat of Health Surveillance, Ministry of Health was used to capture some information about the health of communities. The generic and self-perceptive instrument, Medical Outcomes Study 36 – short form health survey (SF-36), translated and validated into Portuguese, was used to verify whether there would be a difference in the quality of life in the health of two communities with different tobacco production systems: Itaiba with Burley type tobacco in the city of Marmeleiro – Pr, and Volta Grande with Virginea type tobacco in the city of Irati - Pr, and proved suitable in this survey. The reliability of the domains was assessed by using the Cronbach Alpha Coefficient, with results of 0.841 for Itaiba and 0.722 for Volta Grande. The validity of the domains was assessed through the Spearman Correlation, of which results were positive and statistically significant in most of the correlations in the two communities. There was no significant difference in Student’s t test when the variables location and agricultural activity were evaluated with individuals from the two communities, excluding retirees. A difference was observed when using pathologies such as Hypertension (HA), Diabetes (Db), cholesterol and osteoporosis as variables, compared to the dimensions that assessed the physical aspect. The individuals of the two communities are aware of the importance of the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), but use it in a precarious way. The understanding of the risk involved in the work of tobacco growing is impaired when referring to oneself, as in other agricultural activities, the risks seem to only affect other individuals. With the monthly presence of the Community Health Agent (ACS), noticed by the monitoring of individuals with hypertension and diabetes in the Primary Care Information System (SIAB) of the Ministry of Health, as well as lower comsumption of self-medication, there is a better monitoring of the community population of Itaiba, city of Marmeleiro, in relation to the community of Volta Grande, city of Irati. The comparison of quality of life in health, with the same instrument in agricultural activity, may be performed in future developments of similar work.

Two domains are identified in the literature and research about conflict in family business: The business and the family. The researcher postulated that the domain of the family is too broadly drawn and that farming family systems in the Sibling Partnership Stage, with their unique way of life and functioning, consist of several sub-systems which impact on the business. Conflict develops in and between the sub-systems. This study looked at conflict within farming family businesses from a systemic viewpoint, particularly focusing on the process aspects, the interactional dynamics in and between the sub-systems. Four active types of subsystems were identified in the case studies: Couples subsystems, parent child subsystems, sibling subsystems, in-law subsystems or subsystems of which at least one member is an in-law. The research aim was to explore the circular patterns in the two cases as systems and to uncover the function of the conflict in these systems. In both cases, circular conflict patterns came to the fore with the subsystems part of the feedback loops. The conflict escalation happened between the subsystems as elements and the conflict paths were circular, not linear. Sub-themes around family scripts, communication and perceptions about fairness were also uncovered in the research. Both cases were family businesses in the two-generational development stage. The function of the conflict in both systems could only be hypothesised due to the exploratory nature of the research. The researcher hypothesized that the function of the conflict in the systems centred around conflict as an attempt in the system to shake loose from entrenched restricting family scripts. The important themes that presented themselves in the research not envisaged in the planning stage. These themes are part of the systemic patterning in both the cases: Perceptions of fairness or rather unfairness feed into the conflict loop. Rewards and compensation are sensitive matters in all families. The more there are perceptions of unfairness in a subsystem, the more entrenched that belief becomes, the more the conflict in the system escalates and the bigger the emotional distance gets from the assumed beneficiaries of benefits.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the ways in which peasants in a village of Western Turkey produce cotton, a commodity sold on national and international markets. By looking at the way in which the various means of production are procured and deployed by cotton producers, the study hopes to demonstrate the role played by social, non-market structures such as the village and the household in the organisation of production. The study is based on data collected during a period of eighteen months' fieldwork in 1978 and 1979 in a cotton-producing plain in Western Turkey. Apart from a number of subsequent visits, a further two-months were spent conducting a survey of the households of the village during the summer of 1984. The thesis begins by setting out the theoretical parameters within which peasant studies have been carried out to date. The various ways in which peasants have been conceptualised in anthropology and in political economy are examined and the use of structural models in to create universal analytical categories such as 'peasant' or 'petty commodity producer are questioned. It is argued that to the extent that the village and the household remain one of the most important pools from which inputs, especially labour, are supplied, it is very difficult to predict production decisions or understand the mechanisms that make the production of commodities by peasants possible. In the next three chapters, the social units, such as households and neighbourhoods that make up the village are described. A brief exploration of regional history shows the relatively recent origins in Söke of villages as well as of peasant production. Existing social and economic exchanges within the settlement are shown to constitute the village as a totality which has significance in the organisation of commodity production undertaken by households. A discussion showing the role of the state in establishing peasant farming of cotton is followed by a delineation of the technological limits under which cotton production is carried out. Land and labour are isolated as the traditional inputs which largely limit production. It is argued that with the increasing importance of modern inputs which can only be acquired with money, the place of land and labour in agricultural production has radically changed. A look at the organisation of work shows the extent to which different factors become the factors limiting production in the different production units found in the Söke plain. The subsequent three chapters describe in detail the ways in which peasant producers have access to each of the major inputs, land, cash and labour. In this context, emphasis is placed on the role of households, neighbourhoods and other socially significant relationships in influencing the production process. In the last section, the mechanisms through which capital is accumulated by peasant households are examined, and the possibilities of expanded reproduction by small commodity producers are explored. By including social variables In a study of economic production, It Is hoped that broad generalisations regarding the persistence or disappearance of peasants under conditions of increasing commoditisation can be avoided.

Full textAbstract:
This is a study of a ledger written by Andrea di Gherardo Casoli between the years 1387 and 1412. Andrea was a lawyer in the Tuscan city of Arezzo, shortly after the city lost its sovereignty to the expanding Florentine state. While Andrea associated his identity with his legal practice, he engaged in many other, diverse enterprises, such as wine making, livestock commerce, and agricultural management. This thesis systematically examines each major facet of Andrea's life, with a detailed assessment of his involvement in rural commerce. Andrea's actions revolved around a central theme of maintaining and expanding the fortunes, both financial and social, of the Casoli family.

Family farming has great importance inside the Brazilian agricultural scenario, but both the survival as the strengthening of this category of farmers are closely related to knowledge applied to the production process. The present work aims to analyze how occurs the adoption/construction process of knowledge by family farmers. Although the research involved collecting quantitative data, gave greater emphasis to qualitative type investigation, which was conducted in the settlement Banco da Terra in Nova Xavantina-MT. The methodology used in the study was composed of two stages: the first 24 questionnaires were applied (41.7% of households), with open and closed questions, with the goal of meeting the socioeconomic, productive and cultural characteristics of the settlers. The second stage of the research consisted of applying semi-structured interviews to settlers and the entities responsible for spreading knowledge to this public, in order to identify the ways of interaction between both the positive and negative points of this process. The results demonstrate that the socioeconomic characteristics of the farmers point to an environment little conducive to adoption/construction of knowledge, due to advanced age, low values of monetary income, high rate of leased lots, restricted labour availability and low grade schooling. On the other hand, it was observed that in farms developed in the batches, the self-knowledge and experience appear as the underpinning of all actions used by farmers. Furthermore, the factors related to the economic and technical aspects appeared with a smaller percentage, thus demonstrating a minor influence on the decision-making process of farmers than aspects closer to psychosocial and cultural characteristics, suggesting that the more geared knowledge to the longings and experiences of farmers will be adopted/constructed more easily.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis contributes to the established literature on farm women within the context of family farming. It recognises that not enough is yet known about the discourses and agency which influence their lives. Consequently, this study has sought to establish what dominant discourses shape the lives of farm women, their responses to these discourses and how their discursive positioning influences their agency.
This study employed a qualitative case study approach involving interviews with a diverse mixture of independent farm women, along with women farming in marital relationships. This thesis engages these narratives to showcase the colourful, complex life-experiences of farm women. In addition, and where present, women�s partners were interviewed to provide male farmers� perspectives about women in family farming.
This research has found that women�s lives are shaped by positioning and contextualising discourses, with which they comply to ensure that the family farm survives. Their subservient discursive positioning limits the agency they can express, although they are able to mobilise indirect agency through supporting their partner; an implicit form of agency which has previously been unrecognised or understated.
Cumulatively, this thesis highlights the need to recognise the diversity of farm women, and how they are able to exercise agency from their constrained subject positions within the family farming context. Furthermore it emphasises that agency is a dynamic, and far more varied concept than previously understood.

Resumo: Os agricultores familiares encontram muitas dificuldades de inserção em um modelo de produção agropecuária altamente tecnificado e competitivo. Para contornar tais desafios o agricultor busca diversas estratégias para se sustentar no mercado, como o processamento artesanal de produtos alimentícios de origem agropecuária. Com a transformação ou outros procedimentos de agregação de valor, o agricultor obtém um produto diferenciado que pode melhorar a renda, e resgatar tradições familiares quase esquecidas, por conta da industrialização crescente, como o preparo de doces, queijos, requeijões, pães e outros produtos, embora sejam atividades que esbarram em uma série de exigências legais. Nesse contexto, a presente pesquisa objetivou realizar um estudo nos assentamentos rurais Santa Maria da Lagoa e Estrela da Ilha, no município de Ilha Solteira/SP, visando traçar uma caracterização geral das famílias e dos lotes pesquisados, conhecer as estratégias da atividade de agregação de valor utilizadas pelos produtores, as formas de processamento, as instalações e os principais produtos agropecuários utilizados; verificar as formas de comercialização dos produtos; investigar a origem dos conhecimentos utilizados para realizar o processamento dos produtos; avaliar a importância econômica, para a família, desses processos de agregação de valor e verificar possíveis relações diferenciais em termos de gênero relacionadas ao processamento dos produtos. A execução da pesquisa permitiu verificar que a participação das mulheres é majoritária.

Abstract: The family farmers encounter many difficulties of insertion in a livestock production model highly technified and competitive. To circumvent these challenges the grower quest different strategies to sustain the market, as the artisanal processing food products of agricultural origin. With the processing or others value adding procedures the grower obtains a differentiated product, by improving the income, and rescuing almost forgotten family traditions, due to the increasing industrialization, such as the preparation of sweets, cheeses, curd cheese, bread and other products, even though they are activities that are hindered by a series of legal demands. In this context, the present study aimed to conduct a study in the rural settlements Santa Maria da Lagoa and Estrela da Ilha, municipality of Ilha Solteira / SP, aiming to trace a general characterization of families and search properties, to know the strategies of value adding activity used by producers, the forms of processing, the installations and the main agricultural products used; verify the forms of marketing the products; investigate the the origin of the knowledge used to carry trough processing of the products; evaluate the economic importance, for the family, of these value adding processes; and verify possible differences in terms of gender relations related to the processing of products. The execution of research allowed to verify that the women's participation is the majority. For the benefited products by the farmers surveyed it found that dairy products are the most representative, with predominance of direct commercialization (at the producing establishment, in the consumer's residence and in street fair), the knowledge used in food processing, in the large majority of cases, is the of family origin (intergenerational), and only a few have sought technical improvement.

Abstract: The research aims to reflect and debate on aspects of cooperation, communication and interaction that become concrete and complex in the organized social action denominated as associativism between minor and medium agricultural producers. The analysis of associativism was based on the investigation of the associative practices of a group formed by minor and medium producers of vegetables: the Association of Rural Producers of Family Agriculture of Taquaritinga (APRAFT), due to local characteristics that can open debate and discussion with the largest observed process. This study pursue to apprehend the perception of the members on the cooperation process, searching to establish the links between the collective and individual demands that make up these productive spaces. Thus, the main objective of the research is to understand - in a contextualized way - the agents and the forms of production that, not rarely, connect to the new public policies coming from different governmental scales. In this sense, through previous research with producers in the central region of São Paulo, we understand that these agents are characterized by the mobilization of communication and cooperation processes for the construction of political, social, economic and symbolic possibilities. The objective is to understand how participation in associations modifies the institutional environment influencing the identity, field of action, possibilities and strategies of these producers.

Resumo: O crescimento e profissionalização do agronegócio torna primordial a busca pelo conhecimento na gestão e adoção de práticas administrativas que facilitem e otimizem o trabalho no campo. A capacitação contínua do profissionalprecisa ser prática e teórica, para que se possa entender a gestão do agronegócio como um todo e, assim, melhorar a qualidade de seus negócios com maior produtividade e sustentabilidade. Por outro lado, as unidades de produção de base familiar têm se destacado como objeto de pesquisa pela estrutura social e desenvolvimento sustentável do meio rural brasileiro. Vivemos um momento de questionamentos quanto ao que agride ou não o meio ambiente e os seres viventes. A agricultura familiar é de importância ímpar neste novo olhar para o mundo e a sua preservação, e por consequência a preservação do seu saber, aliada a uma geração de valor pelo seu trabalho. O presente estudo analisou e diagnosticou a importância do planejamento e organização da estrutura de produção e comercialização, a viabilidade econômica de acordo com sua lógica sustentável de produção familiar. Foi realizado um estudo de caso com um grupo de dezesseis agricultores caracterizados como familiares liderados por mulheres. Após análise realizada concluiu-se que o trabalho individual não é economicamente viável, assim, viabilizou-se o trabalho conjunto por meio da constituição de uma cooperativa, cujo nome deu-se como "Grupo Mulher". Ao final do estudo foi criado um modelo de Plano de Negócio para... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)
Abstract: The growth and professionalization of agribusiness makes it primordial the search for knowledge in the management and adoption of administrative practices that facilitate and optimize the work in field. The continuous training of the professional must be theoretical and practice, so that one can understand the management of the agribusiness as a whole and, improve the quality of this business with productivity and sustainability. On the other side, family based production units have been highlighted as an object of research by the social structure and sustainable development of the Brazilian rural environment. We live in a moment of answers as what affects the environment or the living beings. Family farming is of a unique importance in this new look of world and its preservation, and consequently the preservation of its knowledge, allied to a generation of value for its work. The present study analyzed and diagnosed the importance of planning and organization of production and marketing structure, economic viability according to its sustainable logic of family production. A case study was conducted with a group of sixteen farmers characterized as family members headed by women. After this analysis, it concluded that the individual work is not economically viable, then, the joint work was possible through the creation of a cooperative, whose name was given as 'GrupoMulher'. At the end of this study, a Business Plan for Family Agriculture model was created through a simple framework to facilitate the handling ...

Full textAbstract:
This study examines and compares farmers' succession plans and actual succession behaviour and finds that the farm operator's age and regional variables influence both. We also find a discrepancy between intention and actual behaviour which is significantly related to the farm operator's age. Whereas the likelihood of planned succession is overestimated significantly for younger farm operators, the opposite is observed once the farm operator's age exceeds 65 years. Therefore, stated plans have only a negligible value in predicting the observed behaviour and farm operator's statements on the timing of succession may not provide enough information on the grounds of designing structural policies in agriculture.

Apesar da baixa produção na maioria dos lotes, outros aspectos do dia a dia das famílias têm demostrado que a reprodução da vida nestes territórios não está na dependência direta somente da eficiência dos sistemas produtivos. A nosso ver, discutir a vida no campo, sob a ótica da agricultura familiar sem colocar o aspecto da produção no centro da análise não é possível, pois esta forma de agricultura foi à base de sustentação para o processo de desenvolvimento e soberania alimentar de vários países hoje considerados desenvolvidos e no Brasil ainda hoje é responsável por grande parte dos alimentos levados à mesa da população. Neste trabalho analisamos, no caso específico do Assentamento Alecrim no município de Selvíria (MS), as motivações que levaram as famílias a ir para o Assentamento, a escolha das atividades produtivas, como ocorreu a evolução dessas atividades ao longo do tempo, quais os fatores que têm influenciado seu desenvolvimento e a importância da produção e outros fatores no processo de consolidação do referido Assentamento. A pesquisa foi realizada, em 2013, com 40% das famílias assentadas, utilizando-se um questionário, contendo 48 perguntas, para a coleta dos dados. A investigação contou ainda com a pesquisa bibliográfica a partir de livros e artigos científicos e pesquisa documental. A análise dos resultados foi realizada com base na tabulação dos dados dos questionários da pesquisa e sua comparação com dados do ISEV/INCRA, realizado em 2008, e com resultados do questionário socioeconômico, ...
The rural settlement policy despite the many mishaps of the process is a reality in Brazil, in some regions it has become the most important instrument of occupation of areas, taking thousands of families to the field, as in Pontal do Paranapanema in the State of São Paulo and the region of Sidrolândia, Mato Grosso do Sul. Despite the low production in most plots, other aspects of the day to day life of families have shown that the reproduction of life in these areas is not only the direct dependence of production systems. In our view, t's not possible to discuss life in the field, from the perspective of family farming, without putting the aspect of production at the center of analysis, because this form of agriculture was the base of support for the process of development and food sovereignty of various countries now considered developed and in Brazil, up to this day ,is responsible for a big part of the food brought to the table of the population. In this work we analyze the specific case of the Assentamento Alecrim (Rosemary Settlement) in Selvíria (MS), the reasons that led families to go to the Settlement, the choice of productive activities, how the evolution of such activities occured over time, which factors that have influenced its development and importance of production and other factors in the process of consolidation of that Settlement. The survey was conducted in 2013, with 40% of the settled families, using a questionnaire containing 48 questions for data collection. The investigation also included the literature from books and scientific articles, and documentary research. The analysis was based on data tabulation of research questionnaires and their comparison with data from ISEV / INCRA, conducted in 2008, and the results of the socioeconomic questionnaire, applied to the elaboration of the P.D.A. in 2009. It was observed that the main motivation that led families to the ...

Resumo: Nesse trabalho reflito sobre as perspectivas dos jovens rurais sobre a conquista de sua autonomia e transição segura para a vida adulta. Abordo questões relacionadas à construção social da juventude; às dinâmicas regionais onde os jovens atuam; às estratégias familiares; relações de gênero. Os locus de análise são um assentamento e um bairro rural. O método analítico é o dialético e ajuda a revelar habitus estruturados e estruturantes dos agentes sociais influenciando as formas de organização familiar numa dimensão micro social e os processos socioculturais na dimensão macro social. Nesse contexto, a conquista da autonomia e transição segura para a vida adulta não implicam, necessariamente, em ruptura definitiva com o campo. Mas, se condicionam a um trabalho na área urbana
Abstract: In this study I reflect upon the perspectives of the rural young regarding theaccomplishment of their autonomy and their safe transition to the adult life. I discuss questions related to the social construction of youth; to the regional dynamics where the young individuals act; to the familial strategies; gender relations. The analysis¿s loci are an establishment and a rural quarter. The analytical method is the dialectic and helps disclose structurized and structurizing habitus of the social agents by influencing the familial organization ways in a microsocial dimension and the sociocultural processes in a macrosocial dimension. In this context, the autonomy¿s accomplishment and the safe transition to the adult life do not necessarily implicate in definitive rupture from the countryside. Actually, they condition themselves to work in the urban area

Este trabalho analisa a percepção dos agricultores familiares atuantes no Programa de Agentes Comunitários em relação às práticas de autogestão e solidariedade no Cooperativismo Solidário da Cresol Francisco Beltrão. A Cresol é uma cooperativa de crédito rural, de perspectiva solidária, constituída e gerida por agricultores familiares desde 1995,inicialmente constituída no Sudoeste do Paraná, a cooperativa propagou-se em diversos outros municípios. A Cresol Francisco Beltrão foi uma das primeiras a serem criadas e, hoje, destaca-se perante as outras cooperativas por seus indicadores econômicos. As cooperativas Cresol desenvolveram um programa de formação para associados denominado Programa de Agentes Comunitários há 15 anos. Após este período de execução, em 2015, observa-se que os agentes comunitários possuem o papel de estreitar as relações entre a direção da cooperativa e os demais associados, entretanto, os agentes apontam que o princípio da solidariedade encontra-se fragilizada, pois ao observar a relação dos demais associados com a cooperativa, percebem que estes a consideram apenas como uma instituição financeira. A autogestão, que se manifesta na forma como os associados tratam de temas gerenciais e administrativos e como se desafiam a criar mecanismos que ampliem os espaços de consulta coletiva para a tomada de decisão da cooperativa. Neste sentido, observou-se que há algumas práticas que estimulam a democratização de informações e relatórios acerca da gestão, bem como o trabalho do agente comunitário em estimular a participação de outros sócios em reuniões comunitárias. Contudo o fluxo de informação é assimétrica, ocorrendo da cooperativa para a comunidade. Os agentes comunitários da Cresol Francisco Beltrão afirmam ser necessário que a direção desta cooperativa organize eventos e reuniões envolvendo mais associados para ampliar e fortalecer os princípios da solidariedade e autogestão no cooperativismo solidário, bem como da cooperação.This paper analyzes the perceptions of family farmers included in the Program of Community Agents about solidarity and self-management practices in Solidary Cooperativism of Cresol Francisco Beltrão. The Cresol is a rural credit cooperative, with solidarity perspective, organized and managed by family farmers since 1995, initially established in Southwestern of Paraná, the cooperative has spread in several other municipalities. The Cresol Francisco Beltrao was one of the first created and today stands out against the others cooperatives for its economic indicators. Cresol created a training program for members named Program of Community Agents 15 years ago. After this period of implementation, in 2015, it is observed that community workers have the role of closer relations between the direction of the cooperative and the other members, however, the agents point out that the principle of solidarity is fragile, because by observing the relationship of the others associates with the cooperative, they realize that the others consider it only as a financial institution. The concepts of self-management that is manifested in the way associates address management and administrative issues and how they challenge themselves to create mechanisms that expand the spaces of collective consultation for cooperative decision-making. In this sense, it was observed that there are some practices that encourage the democratization of information and reports on the management and the work of community agent in stimulating the participation of others associates in community meetings. However the flow of information is asymmetric, it pass from the cooperative for the community. Community agents of Cresol Francisco Beltrão claim to be necessary that the direction of the cooperative organize events and meetings involving more members for expand and strengthen the principles of solidarity and self-management in solidary cooperativism, as well as cooperation.

Full textAbstract:
O surgimento da economia de mercado, fez com que o contexto social da agricultura fosse
alterado, principalmente, em suas formas de organização do trabalho e da produção. A
submissão produtiva às economia de mercado determinam as estratégias de diversificação dos meios de vida na agricultura familiar e requerem esforços no sentido de ampliar as
capacitações em busca de uma maior potencialidade do viver. O mercado provoca privações das oportunidades que podem agravar ou auxiliar as situações de pobreza rural, desta forma, pergunta-se: as estratégias de diversificação adotadas pelas famílias rurais conseguem reduzir
as vulnerabilidades e elevar a renda? A partir deste problema, as seguintes possíveis respostas foram buscadas: (1) Agricultores com renda mais concentrada apresentam menor renda total;(2) Os agricultores pluriativos possuem renda mais elevada que os agricultores monoativos;
(3) Agricultor com melhor acesso aos recursos dos meios de vida apresenta maior renda. Para tanto, o objetivo desta pesquisa é identificar as estratégias de melhoria da renda rural entre os cooperados da Cooperativa de Crédito Rural com Interação Solidária – CRESOL/ Prudentópolis – PR. Como resultado, identificou-se que: (1) a diversificação dos meios de vida permite aos estabelecimentos níveis de renda mais elevados, avançar na pluriatividade se
torna positivo no sentido de elevar a renda; (2) o índice de diversificação da renda não esta relacionado com maiores níveis de renda; (3) quanto a expansão do acesso aos recursos dos meios de vida, considerados entre o capital humano, social, ambiental, físico e financeiro, (variáveis exógenas), conclui-se que nem todos explicam na mesma proporção a renda total (variável endógena), mas, os capitais que explicaram a renda apresentaram parâmetros de explicação considerados altamente significativos.The emergence of a market economy, has made the social context of agriculture were changed, especially in its forms of organization of work and production. Submission productive market economy determine the diversification strategies of livelihoods in agriculture, family and require efforts to expand the capabilities in pursuit of greater potentiality of living. The market causes deprivation of opportunities that may exacerbate or assist rural poverty situations thus ask: diversification strategies adopted by rural households can reduce vulnerabilities and increase income? From this problem, the following possible answers were sought: (1) Farmers with more concentrated income have lower total income,(2) Farmers pluriativas have higher income farmers monoativas; (3) Farmer with better access to resources livelihoods has higher income. Therefore, the objective of this research is to identify strategies to improve rural income among the cooperative's Rural Credit Cooperative Interaction with Solidarity - CRESOL / Prudentópolis - PR. As a result, it was found that: (1) diversification of livelihoods allows institutions of higher income levels, advancing pluriactivity becomes positive in order to raise revenue, (2) the index of income diversification is not associated with higher levels of income, (3) and expanding access to resources for livelihoods, considered among the human, social, environmental, physical and financial, (exogenous variables), it follows that not all explain the same proportion of total income (endogenous variable), but explained that the capital income of explanation presented parameters considered highly significant.

Nos dias atuais é crescente o desejo da sociedade por práticas que não agridam de forma tão intensa o ambiente. A busca por uma alimentação saudável, por preços justos nos produtos, pelo desenvolvimento social, econômico e ambiental, permeiam as discussões referentes ao desenvolvimento sustentável. Nesta perspectiva, a presente dissertação tem como tema de pesquisa a avaliação da sustentabilidade em agroecossistemas hortícolas com base de produção na Agroecologia e na agricultura familiar. Esta foi desenvolvida em seis agroecossistemas localizados na microrregião de Pato Branco-PR. O método para a concretização da pesquisa foi baseado na proposta Marco para a Avaliação de Sistemas de Manejo de Recursos Naturais Incorporando Indicadores de Sustentabilidade - MESMIS, o qual foi realizado de forma participativa e interdisciplinar. No desenvolvimento do trabalho foram construídos seis Indicadores de Sustentabilidade Compostos: recursos hídricos, qualidade do solo, qualidade de vida, situação econômica, diversidade vegetal e animal, e trabalho. Esses indicadores foram mensurados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, questionários, análises laboratoriais e observações de campo, ou seja, com técnicas qualitativas e quantitativas. Com base nas concepções sobre sustentabilidade desenvolvidas a partir dos referenciais teóricos e na percepção dos agricultores familiares, bem como a construção de gráficos radiais, foi possível avaliar os níveis de sustentabilidade dos agroecossistemas em uma forma integrada, o que evidenciou que os seis agroecossistemas mantêm os índices de sustentabilidade geral entre regular e desejável.Nowadays there is a growing desire from society in relation to some practices that do not damage the environment so intensely. The search for a healthy diet, products with fair prices, social, economic and environmental development permeate the discussions concerning to sustainable development. In this perspective, the theme of this research is the evaluation of the sustainability in horticultural agro systems based its production on Agro ecology and on family farming. It was developed in six agro ecosystems located in the city of Pato Branco – PR. The method to achieve the success of this research was based on the proposal called in Portuguese as which meaning in English is Evaluation of the Management System of Natural Resources Incorporating Sustainability Indicators - MESMIS was accomplished in an active and interdisciplinary way. It was necessary to develop this work build six Sustainability Compounds Indicators: water resources, ground quality, quality of life, economic situation, vegetable and animal diversity and work. These indicators were determined through semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, laboratorial analysis and field observation, in other words, with qualitative and quantitative observation. Based on the conceptions about sustainability developed from the theoretical references and on the familiar farmers perception, as well as the construction of radial graphs, it was possible evaluate the sustainability levels of the agro ecosystems in an integrated way which revealed that the six agro ecosystems maintain the general sustainability indexes between regular and desirable.
