Resumo: | The development of family farming from an agroecological perspective is an alternative for sustainable agricultural production. These are agroecosystems that act positively for food security and sovereignty, although they have resource constraints, which are a challenge for their livelihoods. As for the objective, in this study, aspects related to the performance of agroecological family farming, applied to a Brazilian context, were evaluated. More specifically, the socioeconomic development and dynamics of livelihood strategies were analyzed. The work was based on case studies, exploring empirical evidence in three agroecosystems located in the northeast region of Brazil. Data were obtained through interactional methods and systematic observations, involving a multidisciplinary team with the active participation of farmers. The results pointed to the need to financially leverage agroecologically-based family farmers, in order to enable the development of an alternative for sustainable production. In addition, an agricultural context was identified with few resources and several restrictions, but in which farmers resist and persist in the use of agroecological practices. Finally, approaches that seek to understand the reality of farmers, pointing out socioeconomic indicators and livelihood strategies, can be a basis for the efficient performance of organizations and the elaboration of public policies that seek to promote sustainable agriculture. |

Estos son agroecosistemas que actúan positivamente para la seguridad y soberanía alimentaria, aunque tienen limitaciones de recursos, que son un desafío para sus medios de vida. En cuanto al objetivo, en este estudio se evaluaron aspectos relacionados con el desempeño de la agricultura familiar agroecológica, aplicados a un contexto brasileño. Más específicamente, se analizó el desarrollo socioeconómico y la dinámica de las estrategias de medios de vida. El trabajo se basó en estudios de caso, explorando evidencia empírica en tres agroecosistemas ubicados en la región noreste de Brasil. Los datos se obtuvieron a través de métodos interactivos y observaciones sistemáticas, involucrando un equipo multidisciplinario con la participación activa de los agricultores. Los resultados apuntaron a la necesidad de apalancar financieramente a los agricultores familiares de base agroecológica, a fin de posibilitar el desarrollo de una alternativa de producción sostenible. Además, se identificó un contexto agrícola con pocos recursos y varias restricciones, pero en el que los agricultores resisten y persisten en el uso de prácticas agroecológicas. Finalmente, los enfoques que buscan comprender la realidad de los agricultores, señalando indicadores socioeconómicos y estrategias de vida, pueden ser la base para el desempeño eficiente de las organizaciones y la elaboración de políticas públicas que buscan promover una agricultura sostenible.O desenvolvimento da agricultura familiar sob a perspectiva agroecológica é uma alternativa para a produção agrícola sustentável. Trata-se de agroecossistemas que atuam de forma positiva para a segurança e a soberania alimentares, embora possuam restrições de recursos, que são um desafio para a sua subsistência. Quanto ao objetivo, neste estudo, avaliaram-se os aspectos ligados ao desempenho da agricultura familiar agroecológica, aplicada a um contexto brasileiro. Mais especificamente, analisaram-se o desdobramento socioeconômico e as dinâmicas de estratégias para a subsistência. O trabalho foi fundamentado em estudos de casos, explorando-se evidências empíricas em três agroecossistemas situados na região nordeste do Brasil. Os dados foram obtidos por meio de métodos interacionais e observações sistemáticas, envolvendo uma equipe multidisciplinar com participação ativa dos agricultores. Os resultados apontaram a necessidade de se alavancarem financeiramente os agricultores familiares de base agroecológica, de forma a viabilizar o desenvolvimento de uma alternativa de produção sustentável. Além disso, identificou-se um contexto agrícola com poucos recursos e várias restrições, mas em que os agricultores resistem e persistem no uso de práticas agroecológicas. Por fim, as abordagens que buscam compreender a realidade dos agricultores, apontando os indicadores socioeconômicos e as estratégias de subsistências, podem ser uma base para a atuação eficiente de organizações e elaboração de políticas públicas que busquem promover uma agricultura sustentável.Research, Society and Development2022-02-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2635410.33448/rsd-v11i3.26354Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 No. 3; e21311326354Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 Núm. 3; e21311326354Research, Society and Development; v. 11 n. 3; e213113263542525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/26354/23167Copyright (c) 2022 Danúbia Leite Ferreira; Maria Christine Werba Saldanha ; Emanoel Dias Silva; Daniel Ferreira da Silva; Olivia Dayse Leite Ferreirahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFerreira, Danúbia Leite Saldanha , Maria Christine Werba Silva, Emanoel Dias Silva, Daniel Ferreira da Ferreira, Olivia Dayse Leite 2022-03-09T13:44:38Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/26354Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:44:25.734029Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
