Assessoria técnica e estratégias de agricultores familiares na perspectiva da transição agroecológica: uma análise a partir do Pólo Rio Capim do Programa Proambiente no Nordeste Paraense
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008-08-29) VASCONCELOS, Marcelo Augusto Machado; KATO, Osvaldo Ryohei; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4241891652832872; Porro , Roberto; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2282097420081043
The study examines the intervention effect of methodologies conducted by the technical assistance provided by the Proambiente program to different smallholder groups (agroextractivist, agriculturalist, diversified, wage-laborer, and small-rancher) in the program’s Rio Capim site. The study indicates that Use Plans and Community Agreements affect the strategies of every group and reveal their intention of intervening in the agroecosystem, as capacity building of smallholders and extension agents was able to link technical knowledge and smallholders’ traditional knowledge. The study highlights significant contributions of the technical assistance due to the agroecological approach provided by family capacity units, which consist of a venue for empirical and technical formation. In addition, it shows the difficulty in the execution of some labor-demanding agroecological practices. In those cases, several groups adopt productive strategies such as labor contracting, and communitarian strategies such as labor-pooling, labor-exchange, and labor exchange through labor-pooling, as well as kindred and neighborhood strategies. Labor-pooling events are often mentioned as a primary strategy to promote the associative spirit among smallholders and are often used by families studied, being significantly adopted in the implementation of agroecological practices. They are often used collectively, and stimulate mutual learning, dialog and sharing of experiences. On the other hand, the adoption of these new practices do not ensure production, subsistence, or social reproduction, as there is no risk-avoidance mechanism to reduce the impact of eventual losses or frustrations resulting from the higher investment and physical efforts required by agroecological activities. Therefore, traditional practices that provide food security and ensure the survival of the household are preferred despite the fact they might result in lower economic outcomes and little concern with natural resource conservation. They are preferred by different smallholder groups, however, given the risk and uncertainty represented by the Proambiente program. What lacks in the program is greater security in the conditions such as differential commercialization and marketing strategy for agroecological products, and for the payment of environmental services, which has not been activated. Mainly, there is no continuity of financial resources for the provision of technical assistance, what jeopardizes the entire program, as the Communitarian Agreements and Use Plans should be continuously monitored in the face of changes in the biophysical and socioeconomic setting, and therefore require continuous adjustment.

Avaliação do uso sustentável da água na produção agrícola: impacto da inserção de sistemas agroflorestais em unidades produtivas familiares do Nordeste Paraense
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014) VANZIN, Mariana Menezes; KATO, Osvaldo Ryohei; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4241891652832872; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2422-9227
The inclusion of technical innovations in rural areas changes the survival mode of the farmer and the productive dynamics, reflected the logic of family farming advantage environmental and socioeconomic impacts. In this context, the use of water in the agricultural production process illustrates these impacts, the implications of which put to the test sustainability through duality: rational demand and the appropriate quality of water resources, surface (use of river water); or underground (use of well water). Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess the sustainable use of water in the production process of family production units (FPU) that have implemented agroforestry system (AFS) as a technical innovation. The FPU investigated are inserted in the municipalities of Igarape-Açu and Marapanim, northeastern Para state, members of Earth Roots project, funded by Embrapa Amazônia Oriental. Therefore, we adopted as initial hypothesis that the insertion of AFS must offer minimally adequate quality and rational use of water used in the production process as well as providing positive impacts on the environmental dimension, social and economic. In this sense, the methodology was drawn from the three stages of compliance: (I) characterization of water use, a questionnaire of open type being applied to identify: funding source and intended use; and perceived by the farmer on scarcity, grants and quality; (II) application of Ambitec-Agro system, the final product was impact factors in the environmental, social, economic; (III) establishing and quantifying impact coefficients in the quantity and quality of water, with the inclusion and analysis of physical and chemical parameters, bacteriological and Salmonella. Verification of the initial hypothesis was checked by a t-test. The features most of the FPU were the underground source of water abstracted is used in the production process and for their own consumption, from the pumping of groundwater wells; even without the science of grant, some farmers did derivations and natural course of the bus of the rivers that cross their properties, and frequent drought period may reflect these actions. In general, farmer's perception of the quality was associated with color, odor and taste. Applied Ambitec-Agro system, FPU indicated positive impacts in all dimensions; however, negative impacts on the environmental dimension were verified in the UPF. The amount of the impact coefficient was negative in all FPU, suggesting that there was an unreasonable demand for water. The presence of Salmonella in some FPU contributed to the impact coefficient as has classified water as minimally adequate. Although the initial hypothesis has been rejected, indicating an irrational demand and inadequate water quality; AFS insert the was not associated as an untenable alternative. Thus, unreasonable demand was due to increased water consumption for irrigation due to a decrease in the area of cultivation, since volumes of water after the AFS remained constant. The inadequacy of water quality was directly related to some FPU still used pesticides and use of fire; and have watering livestock and nearby toilets funding sources of water.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-05-31) COUTO, Maria Cristina de Moraes; KATO, Osvaldo Ryohei; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4241891652832872
In Santa Luzia community, in the municipality of Tomé-Açu, as in the Northeast Pará, there is nowadays a process of change among crops, involving slash and burn systems in the pasture establishment or subsistence crops, for the implementation of agroforestry systems, as a way to diversify production and get better income and new ways to market their organic products. As the marketing and processing of production are considered obstacles in family farming, this research identifies and analyzes the importance of the organization in these processes in Santa Luzia community through the characterization of the association, describing and evaluating the processing and the marketing of the household production, determining the economic, social and environmental changes in the community to add value to the products of agroforestry systems. Visits were conducted with questionnaires to all members of the association, forming a sample of 21 production units, allowing a socio-economic study on the family units, in addition to using descriptive statistical methods and multivariate statistics through factorial analysis and Cluster Analysis, which allowed us to evaluate the size of the data in relation to the variables that determine the agroforestry systems and the marketing process. The results indicate that 95% of the families interviewed have agroforestry systems with a large crops diversification and 95% perform some kind of processing in their products (71% of the production),which provided new market opportunities and better prices, obtaining an average annual revenue of R$ 22.241,35, ensuring them, better economic and social conditions, which allows us to conclude that the organization and production agroindustrialization promoted better marketing and higher production income in the community of Santa Luzia.

Contribuição da agricultura familiar na construção do conhecimento agroecológico: estudo de caso do Projeto Raízes da Terra
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-08-31) FERREIRA, Josie Helen Oliveira; AZEVEDO, Célia Maria Braga Calandrini de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8900515523984968; KATO, Osvaldo Ryohei; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4241891652832872; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2422-9227
Shifting cultivation, characterized by the use of fire in land preparation, has caused negative consequences for family farms, resulting in large deforested areas with low productivity and decreased regenerative capacity of secondary vegetation. The search for sustainable alternatives to slash and burn agriculture based on agroecological principles can result in a more sustainable rural environment development. Experiences has being tested by farmers through Project Raízes da Terra, therefore this work has as main objective to evaluate farmer’s contribution in agroecological knowledge construction in municipalities of Igarapé-Açu and Marapanim, identifying the reasons that has led to agroecological principles adoption in agroecosystem management. For this, were evaluated methodological processes and participatory tools experienced by farmers to introduce agroecological practices on land use systems to improving agroecosystems sustainability. The fire use was reduced from 28.5 ha in 2005 to 2 ha in 2011, production diversification has increased 51% when compared to the period 2005 to 2011, with establishment of 42ha of multistrata agroforestry from 2006 to 2007 and expanded to 55ha in 2011 representing 13 ha more than planned by Project Raizes da Terra. Concluding that the process of agroecological knowledge construction practiced by Project Raizes da Terra farmers contributed to development of an agroecological agriculture-based.

Contribuição de quintais agroflorestais para a segurança alimentar de agricultores familiares no Baixo Irituia, Nordeste Paraense
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-08-31) MIRANDA, Silviane Batista; KATO, Osvaldo Ryohei; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4241891652832872; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2422-9227
The yards are agroecosystems agroforestry located near residences, composed of a variety of plant species (food, medicinal, ornamental and timber) and small animals, providing products that contribute to a diverse and healthy diet. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the contribution of agroforestry gardens for food security in small family farmers in the Lower Irituia, Northeast Pará. It starts with the hypothesis that families with agroforestry gardens have access to a greater quantity and quality of perishable food and a lower consumption of processed products compared to those who do not have backyards agroforestry. The study was conducted in the communities of Ajara, Araraquara, and Santa Terezinha Puraquequara family farmers in 30 of which agroforestry gardens have 18 and 12 do not. Through the techniques of structured interviews and semi-structured, guided tours, direct observation and recall 24 hours were carried out a survey of the species (plant and animal) 18 yards in agroforestry and verification of the food consumed by 30 households interviewed, both those produced in the backyards agroforestry or not, and those of industrial origin. We studied 18 yards agroforestry rose 125 species of plants and five animal species. Of the 130 plant and animal species, 70 are food plants (of which 44 are fruit, 21 vegetable crops and 5 white tillage (such as cassava, rice and corn), 31 are medicinal, are 17 timber, 7 and 5 are ornamental food and animals. Of the 70 food species, 94% being consumed by the families interviewed, especially the fruit (59%), followed by vegetable crops (30% of total) and the white farming (11% of total). The species fruit is consumed in the form of juice (especially after meals) or fresh (for the occasional picnic). Banana, cashew, guava, cupuaçu, pineapple, lemon and orange are the most consumed fruit in the gardens as cashew and banana agroforestry agroforestry gardens without spaces. The species most commonly found and consumed in both the chicken yard, which is designed for self- consumption and sale. agroforestry gardens Farmers have access to a better nutritional status by consuming greater quantities and variety of food from the gardens, especially fruits, rich in vitamins and minerals. With respect to the consumption of foods were collected from farmers in agroforestry gardens without spaces while among the 17 items with 15 items agroforestry gardens, and food most consumed by two groups: rice, coffee, oil and sugar. industrialized products such as bologna, artificial juice and chicken farm were consumed in higher percentages by farmers in agroforestry gardens without spaces. By applying the Student test showed a difference statistically significant in the mean amount of food consumed (in backyards and industrial) by two groups of farmers in the two periods of the year (rainy and dry), confirming the hypothesis of the research. Backyards agroforestry is therefore important to introduce changes in diet, they contribute in the diversification and complementary feeding.

Estratégias de famílias agricultoras com enfoque no manejo de bacurizeiros (Platonia insignis Mart.) no nordeste paraense e Marajó
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-03-20) RODRIGUES, Ercilene de Cássia Ferreira; HOMMA, Alfredo Kingo Oyama; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1026511676619526; KATO, Osvaldo Ryohei; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4241891652832872
This research sought to analyze the dynamics and interrelationships between the management of bacurizeiros and the strategies of farming families in Northeast Paraense and Marajó. The choice of the Mesoregions of Northeast Paraense and Marajó as study areas resulted from the current information that they are producing areas that account for the largest supply of bacuri fruit in the state of Pará. To carry out the field survey, an intentional sampling was chosen, considering only family farmers who had bacurizeiros in their establishments and who carried out some type of marketing of the products. A total of 77 questionnaires were applied among the 7 municipalities studied, 57 in the Northeast Mesoregion of Pará and 20 in Marajó. A typology of production systems was carried out, with 4 types: bacuri and roça, bacuri and fruit trees, bacuri and fishing and bacuri and social security. It was found that the production systems with the highest degree of species diversification have the highest potential for income generation and are the ones with the highest agricultural and family income, these are the production systems belonging to the Bacuri and Frutíferas (T2) group, which achieved added value of R$ 23,140.33/year. The main social reproduction strategies practiced by the families interviewed were diversification of production, production for self-consumption and employment in non-agricultural activities. The system for marketing fresh fruit is quite simple, based on the collection of fruit and distributed in the short harvest period. It was found that there is a change in the marketing of fresh fruit for pulp production. The main motivations in the management of bacurizeiros pointed out by the families was the commercialization and beauty of the forest composition. This study showed that some families perform ethnotechnological practices to increase the productivity of the fruit, which are important to recover and value the traditional knowledge and cultural value of these communities. It is also concluded that the management of bacurizeiros is an important family strategy for the maintenance of families in the field and presents growth potential capable of meeting export demand, important for job and local generation.

Agroforestry systems present themselves as powerful traditional land-use systems, which their adoption can contribute to the reduction of socioeconomic and environmental vulnerability in family farming. Thus, the presente work aimed to analyze the factors that lead to the adoption of Agroforestry Systems (SAFs) by family farmers in the floodplain, and firm ground areas in forest Menino Jesus community, in the municipality of Cametá-Pa. For this purpose, we used the case study method with a participatory approach, divided into two stages. In the first, it was used the participant observation and snowball technique, and in the second, a landscape analysis and the application of semi-structured questionnaires with 21 farmers. For the analysis of the collected data, graphs and tables, and the content analysis technique were used, which identified in the results the main factors that lead to the adoption of SAFs in the floodplain, and firm ground areas in the socioeconomic, socio-organizational, environmental, and cultural subcategories. In socioeconomic terms, the main factors were income generation and variety of production throughout the year. In sociorganizationals, land relations gender and exchanges and sharing of experiences external and internal to the community. In the environmental and cultural terms, it stood out as factores, the ecological benefits of the system, recovery of degraded áreas and the experiences derived from traditional background, and knowledge. The results also showed that the floodplain SAFs are managed from açaí groves, with native forest species, whereas the firm ground species arise from the extensions of the diversity, and logic of the agroforestry yards to the monoculture areas, in the recovery of degraded areas. The farming families that adopt SAFs have their origins in the municipality of Cametá, which demonstrates traditional agriculture. It was concluded that the main factor of adoption is the diversity of production throughout the year in the floodplain and firm ground areas, which provide food security and socioeconomic benefits to farmers. And these SAFs are adopted based on traditional knowledge and daily experiences of use and management of these environments, according to the needs of the productive and family establishment.

Agroforestry Systems (SAFs) is an alternative to the conventional agricultural practices and use of the soil still little employed by family farmers, however, with great economical and environmental importance. To motivate implantations of these alternative systems is relevant due the concerns with the biodiversity conservation and global climatic changes. The cocoa tree is an appropriate crop to be established in SAFs systems due the need of shadow of this crop, being the municipality of Medicilândia, West of the State of Pará, Brazil, one of the main poles of cocoa production from Brazil. Aiming to understand which factors contribute and/or limit the use of SAFs as productive activity in the municipality of Medicilândia, in our study we applied questionnaires with objective and subjective questions to 73 farming families, approaching the specificities of all these families, their farms, access to the public politics, and commercialization of products from agriculture and SAFs. In this study were identified 164 arrangements of these Agroforestry systems, with their ages varying between 4 and 38 years. The main factors that support the adoption of SAFs by farmers from Medicilândia, PA, are related to the economical and productive aspects, being the market existence and increase of income by farmers factors that highlight this adoption. In contrast, the main limitation refers to the inadequacy and low quality of the services offered by public technical support, which affects directly the production of these systems once the administration of SAFs without technical support can reduce, considerably, the productivity of the crops.

The various problems caused by the cutting and burning process demonstrate how important the soil is for the family farmer, so the use of management practices that enable nutrient cycling through the maintenance of organic matter and soil micro-life are essential. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the process of formation, transformation and expansion of agroforestry yards in family farmers production systems of Cooperative D'Irituia, Pará. To meet this proposal, it was decided to use a methodology based on the theoretical bases of the systemic approach. For this, 23 families of family farmers from the D'Irituia cooperative who have agroforestry yards and five key informants from the main institutions linked to rural dynamics were selected. of the municipality. The methodological tools adopted consisted of historical interviews, secondary data, semi-structured questionnaires, typology and chronicles of the establishments. The results showed the external factors that influenced the formation of agroforestry yards were the credit public policies such as FNO and Proambiente; the Secretary of Agriculture of Irituia and the cooperative D'Irituia itself. The agroforestry yards found in Irituia have a great diversity of species, including fruit and annuals. It is noteworthy that in 74% of the areas where agroforestry yards are currently installed were capoeira areas and 13% in fields. Through the typology it was possible to form two large groups, besides one of the main factors responsible for the transformation and expansion of agroforestry yards is the need to increase production. With the chronicles of the establishments we can observe that the events identified over time was not always the motivating factor of the changes identified within the agricultural establishments, however, it affected the two groups represented here, but differently. Therefore, it can be concluded that the agroforestry systems found today in the municipality of Irituia are of great importance in guaranteeing food sovereignty as well as in the socioeconomic development of these families, besides having an important role in environmental preservation.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the importance that the diversity of agroforestry systems (SAFs) have for the sustainability of agroecosystems in the community of Santa Luzia, located in the city of Tomé-Açu, Northeast of Pará, in which for more than two decades cultivate pepper kingdom (Piper nigrum L.). In order to search for information on environmental and socio-economic aspects of agroforestry systems and to establish a relationship to the sustainability of agroecosystems farming families of this community, we used an Mark for Evaluation of the Systems for Management of the natural resources incorporating Indicators of Sustainability (MESMIS). We investigated the reality of 28 farming families in the community, 18 families with SAFs in agroecosystems and 10 families without SAFs in agroecosystems, using as data collection tools, questionnaires familiar characterization of agroecosystems either with or without SAFs. According to the results it was evident that agroecosystems with SAFs are more sustainable than without SAFs. The results show that using the SAFs the level of sustainability is high, while the agroecosystems without SAFs are mostly lower than the critical level of sustainability (5,0). Therefore agroecosystems with the SAFs have higher composition of your grade in the social dimension of sustainability, due to the presence of the Association of Producers and Producers Rural Family Farming the City of Tome-Acu (APPRAFAMTA) that besides being a source of support for marketing of agroforestry products also generates income and encourages the maintenance of local resources.

The objective of this work is to understand the practices and the meaning of the joint effort and how they contribute to the establishment of peasant reciprocity relations, based on an analysis of work, especially on joint effort, as an integral part of peasant life, understood as a space of everyday life reproduction. This study was conducted on Monte Sião Community, Northeastern Pará. For research, we opted for the qualitative methodological approach, however, quantitative methods have also been used as a way to assist the interpretation of social reality. As methodological strategy, we use the case study, conducted with 45 families, worth of participant observation, interviews and questionnaires, which made it possible to understand the story of community training, the installation of the Assembly of God Church, the organization of the APEPA, celebration, the social division of work in household production unit, the spaces of sociability and, above all, understand the organization of different joint efforts and reciprocal relations that are established between farmers and peasants and deities, as well as apprehend the notion of collective effort that the peasants have. The study points to reciprocity in essence peasant. The joint effort until the 20th century was conducted to aid in farm work, in cases of illness, especially in the work of cassava plantations. There were two ways to perform the work of clearings: joint effort and the work of the company. The first, a form of mutual assistance not formalised, but understood as a moral contract;the second understood as an institutionalized form, composed of a fixed group of peasants, with tiered registration occupied positions and the activities to be performed.With the socioeconomic transformations, the input of the marketing the açai berry and the depletion of natural resources,the plantations are no longer the main economic activity of the farmers and, as a consequence, the work of company wouldn't exist in the work of clearings, being ressignificado and gaining strength in other activities, such as in the religious institution, where the villagers gather in joint efforts driven by a sense of faith and friendship to perform certain jobs, such as buildings, celebrations, crafts and campaigns to capture financial resources to donate to God, a relationship of reciprocity between men and God. The Association, during a period, also triggered the collective efforts for the management of the palm heart tree and making handicrafts. And, lastly, the joint effort organized by the peasants to have access to electricity. These joint efforts go beyond the utilitarian idea, are understood as a pedagogical space of collective learning. And, even more so, as a form of political action, in addition to representing the union of peasants and the struggle for access to public services historically denied. They don't exist apart from the rest of life. While working people talk of life, gossip, give laughter, make jokes and even disagreements may occur. Thus, we conclude that the joint efforts, in Monte Sião, still alive in essence, peasant being redefined and fired according to the economic, social, political, cultural and religious needs of community.

The apicultural activity aiming at the honey production, comes being developed has some years for familiar agriculturists of the City of Capitao Poço, who practise the beekeeping as complementary or main activity. This research studies and analyzes the partner-economic importance of the apicultural activity in the honey production as complementary activity for composition of income in Units of Familiar Production in the City of Capitao Poço, in the northeast Territory Paraense. The objectives of this study had been to identify to the handling for the production of honey and the partner-economic importance of this activity in the units of familiar production, beyond analyzing the possibility of organic production of honey in Capitao Poço. The research was carried through in 24 communities, based in the methodology of diagnosis of agrarian systems in the city of Capitao Poço, in which 105 families had been interviewed, with aid of questionnaires elaborated with objective and subjective questions approaching the situation, income, production of honey, extra farming activity and activities agrarian lots. The GPS was used in some communities as tool for the apicultural land reference for the identification of the distances between city of the bees. The results demonstrate the growth of the production of honey in the year of 2007, particularly when compared with the two previous years. Ahead of the reached results, its possible to conclude that the honey complements enters 10% 30% the familiar income for 59 families of familiar agriculturists. The number of beekeepers increased enters the years of 2004 (65 beekeepers) and 2007 (105 beekeepers). The total production that in 2004 arrived the 48,870 kg of honey, in the 1961 beehives, jumped in 2007 for 94100 kg in the 3670 beehives, resulting in the increase of the total production of honey in 92,55%. The potential of organic production of honey in old areas of settling of Capitao Poço is low in front of the agrarian situation of the city. The beekeeping is an rentable producing activity that must be faced as complementary activity for the studied region, establishing connection the social, economic and ambient aspects.

In most of the establishments of the family agriculture in the region of Transamazônica, the traditional system of agriculture, system call is used cuts and it burns, that it is characterized by the use of an area by one to two years, following for several years of rest. Maybe for that, still prevail the vision of the Amazonian family production identified as a "migratory" agriculture with temporary cultures returned for the subsistence, being configured as problem social and now big villainous ecological. The family agriculture, in counterpoint the that vision, is a strategic section for the maintenance and recovery of the job, redistribution of the income, warranty of the alimentary sovereignty of the country and construction of the maintainable development. In the family agriculture, it prevails a tendency of growing diversification of the systems of agricultural production now, including of form variable perennial cultures and temporary, small creation, vegetable extraction and even livestock, in other words, systems more diversified and balanced of the productive and ecological point of view. In that sense, the work intends to verify the environmental services rendered potential in systems of family farmers' production starting from the productive practices used along an agricultural cycle. So that if could accomplish a comparison among the different types of production systems and to avoid the generalization of the analysis the typology of the production systems was accomplished. For that the tool was looked for Eco- Cert.Proambiente, developed by Embrapa, of the which the beginnings criteria and indicators so that the practices used by the families were appraised. A group of verification head offices was built where each one of the practices was evaluated second all the selected indicators. The reached results showed that the production systems that presented larger diversification of productive activities have potential adult of installment of the environmental services for presenting a larger number of practices used along an agricultural cycle, however the fact of the families make part of the program Proambiente contributes also so that that potential is favored, because to the they adhere to the program the families left of dropping areas of forests and they reduced the use of the fire considerably as agricultural practice.

With the publication of Law No. 12,727 / 2012 which established the new Forest Code, the environmental regularization process has become mandatory for all rural properties, and defined the rural environmental registration (CAR) as one of its main instruments and adherence to this instrument as the first stage of that process. Considering the requirement of this instrument, its meaninglessness in the settlements, as well as them identified environmental liabilities, this study has the general objective to analyze how environmental regulation is taking place in the agrarian reform settlements, in particular in the Community Rio Bonito located in Settlement project Eagle in Paragominas / Ulianópolis-PA, based on the understanding and experience that the settlers themselves have on this process. The research was developed in three stages: bibliographical, documentary research and field research. The case study was carried out in the Community Rio Bonito, one of four agrovilas Eagle settlement project with 35 families, out of 68 existing in the settlement project. Using participant observation, open interviews and semi-structured we sought to identify the notions that settlers had on rural environmental regulation and its instruments, and the transformations that occurred in the productive dynamics of the settlement and in the lives of the settlers with its implementation. The observation of this fact, in particular, allowed us to state that the implementation of this process did not result in significant changes in the productive dynamics, environmental and social of the settlement. The changes observed in reality this PA as reducing deforestation, the elimination of the use of fire in productive activities and the adoption of more conscious attitudes toward conservation of Permanent Preservation Areas (APP) and the remaining forest fragments, They were the result of the environmental regularization process and the implementation of the CAR, and according to the settlers the benefits of this instrument summed up the facilitation of release of bank financing for the projects of family farming.

The middle region of southeastern Pará is marked in its history by various political and social events that represent the way in which the Brazilian state and especially the national and international economic groups acted in the Amazon: a non-organized way and causing social and environmental impacts that have reflections to the present day. Conceição do Araguaia, one of the municipalities in this region carries in its history most of these facts. social conflicts, creation and coordination of movements of farmers and the thousands of family’s settlement policy, are important features of the city's legacy. Environmentally, beyond deforestation promoted by the Amazon in the Brazilian state of occupation policy coupled with the reality of logging of large installed economic groups, it was introduced in the city and in the region the model of extensive livestock, mainly aiming at ensuring large parcels of land, aggravating the environmental impacts already made. This study, therefore, was dedicated in researching the productive alternatives using agroforestry systems implemented by farmers linked to the Rural Workers Union and the Cooperative of farmers in the municipality of Conceição do Araguaia front of the model of extensive livestock rearing. Field data were collected through a questionnaire applied directly to the farmers of three settlements chosen by the direction of the Union and Cooperative. Agroforestry systems were found in random systems with diversity and contribute economically and environmentally with agro and present themselves as an important alternative against the predominant model of extensive livestock in the region.

The Aςaizeiro (Euterpe Oleracea Mart.) is one of the main sources of income and consumption for people (local farmer families known as ribeirinhos) living in the municipal district of Belém, State of Pará. They manage the fruit of the aςaizal (aςaí palm trees) and, among the other products, the palm heart, commonly known as palmito. The objective of this study was to identify and classify the different agricultural practices used in the management of native aςaizais. The analysis include a study of the different types of management used by the ribeirinhos with the objective of contributing to the implementation of proposals of management of native aςaizais. The research was undertaken in two main islands in Belém, known as Ilha de Paquetá (Paqueta island) and Ilha Grande (Big Island). The study approach was based on the methodology of the diagnostics of agrarian systems, which involve interviews with both open and closed questions. Twenty-two families from Ilha Grande and thirty-one families from Ilha de Paquetá were interviewed, and the questions involved issues concerning the family, the living environment, patrimony, the agrarian situation, income, techniques used in the management of açaizal and commercialization. Research findings showed that the system of management of native açaizais has gone through three phases. In the first phase, the collection of the açaí fruit is basically for consumption. In the second phase, the palm heart started to be commercialized and the açaí fruit continues to be used for consumption. In the third phase, the actual system of management is oriented to the production of the açaí fruit for commercial and consumption purposes, with the palm heart contributing additional income. Findings from the survey showed that the three main techniques used in the management of açai crop are intensive, moderate and natural cropping (without handling). The intensive 6 handling requires intensive labor in the açaizais and the ribeirinhos income comes basically from the açaí fruit. This type of technique has shown to yield the best overall results. The moderate handling requires less labor in the açaizal and ribeirinhos complement their income from other sources. The natural cropping (without handling) just involves the harvest of the açaí fruit and the ribeirinhos income comes from activities away from the farm.

Transição agroecológica: sonho ou realidade?: uma reflexão do Pólo Rio Capim do PROAMBIENTE
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009-08-31) NASCIMENTO, Huandria Figueiredo do; KATO, Osvaldo Ryohei; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4241891652832872; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2422-9227
It identifies and analyzes changes in agricultural and nonagricultural practice which took place in small farms of community agents and family farmers in Polo Rio Capim do PROAMBIENTE. The aims of this study were achieved through a field research where qualitative and quantitative approaches were used, having also used methodological tools, questionnaires, interviews and observation. The individuals (agents and farmers) were analyzed in two different ways: Type A agents and famers, type B agents and famers, and type C agents and famers. The identified training processes were classified in five classes: 1- course in production techniques and product processing, 2- interchange and days of field, 3- course in rural property management, 4- participation in events and, 5- others. The identified changes were analyzed qualitatively by analyzing interviews. Quantitatively there was an evaluation of variants which were investigated (mechanization, use of fire, use of pesticides and fertilizers, hiring labor, exchanging days of work and team work, family income, taking courses, production, quality of products, spending on production, spending on family, occurrence of pests and diseases and diseases in family) among individuals (agents and farmers) of types A, B, and C, and levels of answers (increased, didn’t change or decreased). The conclusions reveal that type A agents suffered high influence of training processes before PROAMBIENTE, and this resulted in changes in agricultural practices in their farms. Type B agents have a hard time introducing agro-ecological actions due to the lack of time because of their political / syndical involvement and other activities out of their farms. Type B and C agents have a high level of political involvement and also have low level of training and that has influence in not introducing agro-ecological actions. Overall, the processes of technical training that generated changes in agricultural properties, independently of the type they were classified, were promoted by PROAMBIENTE. Finally, the agro-ecological transition in the properties of the people who were interviewed will not happen by replacing and or eliminating agricultural pesticides and fertilizers, it will happen by thinking how to use natural resources, and these were the key elements of family agriculture in the Amazon.

The firewood is one of essential products for the small husbandman, for being the main source heater energy, used on its daily activities. This energy is gotten from the cleared land and secondary vegetation, and are used from husbandman. The objectivities here, is to identify which the most important forest species used by producers to obtain firewood from the husbandman practices on; estimating the consumption of firewood per people; analyzing the chemical, physical and energy characteristics of firewood; and inquiring their potentialities to produce coal and condensable gases. The research was achieved in three local communities: São José do Itabocal and Fé em Deus, both are located at São Domingos do Capim and, Santa Rita community, at Mãe do Rio, all of them belong to Polo Rio Capim of PROAMBIENTE program, in the northeast of Pará. The method used was the study of multiple cases, using for that, many kind of devices, as field research: interviews, questionnaires, direct comment, field notebook, further on laboratory analysis of the physical, chemical and energy characteristics of the firewood. About the results, we can emphasize that 61,3% of husbandman, need firewood to use in the cassava flour house, where is the principal fuel used for preparing the cassava flour. Moreover, its as bigger use is in the food firing, being Itabocal the community more dependent of this heater source. Seventeen species of tree were found, that are used as fuel, emphasizing the lacre, mitaceira and ingá. The firewood consumption was gotten per people, on the order of 3,80, 3,68 and 2,51 kg/ people /day for the communities of Fé em Deus, Itabocal and Santa Rita, respectively. For the production of firewood and vegetal coal, they stood out the mitaceira and ingá based, mostly, in the apparent specific masses of the analyzed material of the related species (0,52 g/cm3 and 0,53 g/cm3, respectively) for the choice as firewood; and in the incoming in fixed carbon; for the choice of use as coal, statistics superior to the one of the third analyzed forest species (lacre), 24,15% and 23,70%, respectively. For the production of condensable gases, emphasizing the lacre (with Incoming in Condensable Gases = 44,93%), with a great potential of the use of relatives husbandman part.

This study it evaluated the sustainability of the innovative experiences using indicator and criteria based on scientific theory the perception of peasants in the Irituia, São Domingos do Capim, Concordia do Pará and Mãe do Rio counties in an area encompassing the Polo Rio Capim, the PROAMBIENTE program. The objective was understand the daily of those social actors on the land using less stressful technologies on the environment and the reasons that led them to extend the traditional home garden or yards for other parcels of the Units of Familiar Production (FPU), turning them into Agroforest Systems (AFs). Questionnaire was applied and empirical data were collected, as well as interaction took place with the people involved in 78 FPUs allowing of variability indntification for Factor Analysis, establishing four factors of production and commercialization; production practices; intervention and gender questions. The first factors was used as criterium and requiring the return of the surveyor to 18 FPUs to apply the questionnaire and evaluation forms on the social, economic, cultural and environmental-ecological indicators. The sustainability evaluation was done by means of grouping these indicators using the Ameba agroecological method and by mapping using the interpolation method next door neighbor in the study area. Cultural and ecological/environmental indicators led to better conditions in terms of sustainability, in the range of good to excellent while the social economic indicators led to results appraised as weak to fair.
