Ação coletiva e Sistemas Agroflorestais na comunidade São Manoel, Quilombo Jambuaçu, Moju/PA
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-06-15) ANDREATA, Helton Kania; MOTA, Dalva Maria da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4129724001987611; SCHWARTZ, Gustavo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0774787368316223
The Agroforestry Systems (SAF) can be used as a means of forest recovery and are interesting due to their diversity of products and the sustainability of the system, mainly in the Northeast of Pará, which has a predominance of secondary forests, popularly called “capoeiras”, areas which can be used for its implementation. The aim of the study was to analyze the relation between Collective Action and SAF in the São Manoel community, in the municipality of Moju, Pará state. The survey data were collected in the years 2018 and 2019, with the main instruments used being historical, open and semi-structured interviews with farmers and main leaders in the community. The data are predominantly qualitative and the procedures to summarize were the transcription of the interviews, with the creation of tables and vertical and horizontal analyzes of the speeches. The community of São Manoel is a small rural village with a history of struggling against large companies to maintain its territory and whose main source of income is native açaí. Land titling is collective and the main issues of resource management are discussed with the Quilombola Association of Farmers of São Manoel, which also has other duties, such as discussing the issue of security, community organization, improving income sources, in addition to legal representation in different instances. The results shows that the SAF arrived in the community in 2015, taken by one of the farmers (who has agricultural training), and had great repercussions after the community verify the success of the system in São Manoel. The working group who has the SAF is composed of 15 people, who work from the plants nursery to the implantation of areas through the collective effort. They have a differentiated system of implantation of SAF, when carrying out the management of capoeira in order to use it as an input for plant nutrition. Three different types were found among the SAF of São Manoel, varying in the number of species in the system, being cupuaçu, cocoa, açaí and banana the main species implanted. The data show that the SAF had a good acceptance among farmers because the system was brought by one of the members of the community, which has also had repercussions in other communities in the Jambuaçu Territory. Collective action was fundamental to the success of SAF, since most farmers reported that they would not be able to implement their areas alone, reason why this community strength was essential for the success of a system which aims to generate income through diversification of production, resignifying the territory with their occupation through productive conservation.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010) BEZERRA, Nicolle Rafaella Costa; MOTA, Dalva Maria da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4129724001987611
The research aimed to analyze the configuration of the family‘s work during the deployment process of agroforestry systems on farms, through the study of family farmers who worked on the project Roots of the Earth. The main assumption was that there is an increase in activities of household members in the short term, for the implementation of agroforestry systems on their premises. Field research was conducted at St. John community, municipality of Marapanim (PA) in three stages in 2009. The methodology blended quantitative and qualitative approaches to conducting interviews, questionnaires, observations and literature review. Having regard to the current debate about family, work and agroforestry systems, data and information were systematized and analyzed. The main conclusions show that: a) there is migration of the household or its members especially for the forthcoming municipal seats ratifying strategies of social reproduction based on a complementarity of urban and rural work, b) agroforestry‘s work and other systems of production establishments are organized based on family composition, place of residence of its members and in gender relations, c) the main difficulties for the deployment and management of agroforestry systems were below the spacing of the designs of agroforestry arrangements, the way the motion of bending over to plant the seedling, the main complaint of the elderly, and therefore the need to hire labor and the cost it; manual weeding of weeds and.

Conflitos sociais pelo acesso aos recursos: o extrativismo da mangaba (Hancornia speciosa Gomes) no povoado Pontal/Sergipe
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-12-17) ROCHA, Maria Margarette Lisboa; MOTA, Dalva Maria da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4129724001987611
Conflicts over access to resources for the practice of extractivism of mangaba in Sergipe are the object of analysis in this study. The survey was conducted through a case study in Pontal Village, in Indiaroba municipality in the state of Sergipe. The main procedures were observations, interviews and participation in the mobilization activities of gatherers. The findings show that among the various actors involved in the conflicts there are the women gatherers, self-styled 'mangaba gatherers ', threatened with losing access to the plants, which engage in the extraction of which depend on to survive. We found different types of conflicts that involve the mangaba gatherers, home owners and caretakers, as well as conflicts even among gatherers themselves. The dispute and competition are strong elements experienced by these women gatherers, in defending their rights, access to natural resources (mangabeiras where they collect fruits and mangroves where they collect shellfish), and also in defense of biodiversity conservation which is so important to the survival of man in harmony with nature.

“ Um conhecido estranho ”: transformações no lugar de morada e nas relações de sociabilidade sob influência da dendeicultura na vila Forquilha, Tomé-Açu/Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-10-30) COSTA, Raquel de Jesus; MOTA, Dalva Maria da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4129724001987611
This dissertation deals with the themes of changes in the place of home and sociability between old and new residents, the latter attracted by the possibility of working in oil palm. Thus, the general objective is to analyze the transformations in the place of residence and the sociability relations under the condition of the influx of new residents to work as salaried workers in the oil palm industry in the village Forquilha in Tomé-Açu / PA. It is a case study, using quantitative and qualitative approaches with literature review and secondary data collection. Semi-structured and non-directive interviews were conducted with residents of vila Forquilha, 46 with people who have lived longer (“those from here”) and 51 who recently arrived motivated by wages (“from outside”). Observations were made in the field about people and the place, considering what happened related to the way of living, the sociability relations, the physical structures and the meanings of the place of residence. The main conclusions show that the changes were not only in the structure of the village, but also in the working relationships and sociability between the different groups. There was an expansion in the village area, an increase in population and changes in infrastructure and social organization. The interactions also changed due to the arrival of people to work, mostly young men who migrated more than once in search of wages. As a result, there are three types of social interaction: between residents “from here”; between “outside” residents and; between both residents. It is noticeable an interaction with greater fluidity in the coexistence between the same type of resident, however, between one type and the other it is superficial and sociability becomes more difficult due to differences.

Da casa da família à casa da escola: dimensões de gênero na experiência educativa em alternância no Município de Cametá - Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008-03-28) SILVA, Márcia Cristina Lopes e; MOTA, Dalva Maria da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4129724001987611
Studies about the Rural Education with the focus in the Alternation Pedagogy have been appealing in the several reflections of authors in Brazil and in Pará. However, it becomes necessary to throw a glance on the daily of male and female students in the “Casas Familiares Rurais”, where the peculiarities of the “Casa Familiar Rural de Cametá - Pará (CFRC)” it deserved attention in that thesis, whose main objective is to analyze the gender relationships in CFRC and in the family establishment through the division of the work accomplished in these two spaces. The hypothesis is that the formation received by men and women in CFRC it reinforces the division of the work exercised in your families in that heavy activity is attributed to men and the light activity is attributed to women. For that analysis was used the theoretical and field research being privileged the case study. The principal procedures used were questionnaire, observation and occasional chats. The sample was constituted regularly by students enrolled; drop-out or that they already finished the course, as well as, theirs families. The conclusions show that in the ambit of the family relationships, the house is the woman's space and rubbed is the man’s space. Those relationships are reproduced in the activities of field of the school. In spite of the existence of that differentiated relationship, in the activities of cleaning of the school facilities it happens a process of mutual help, showing that of the House of the family to the house of the school the gender dimensions assume other perspectives in the multiple spaces that are frequented by male and female students in the locus of the research.

Dendê é Reflorestamento? Percepção de diferentes atores envolvidos na agroindústria do dendê no Nordeste Paraense
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-11-20) TAVARES, Paula Izadora do Egyto; MOTA, Dalva Maria da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4129724001987611
This master’s thesis analyzes how family farmers integrated into the oil palm agro-industry perceive reforestation processes. This theme came about through the suggestion that the implementation of the national program for the production and use of biodiesel (pnpb) for agrofuel production in brazil would bring forth environmental benefits. The program was the main driver of oil palm expansion in the amazonian state of pará. Among its guidelines, it is stated that the oil palm cultivation is sustainable and a possible means of recuperating degraded areas through reforestation. Research for this study included the collection of secondary and primary data in the municipality of irituia, located in the northeastern region of pará. It also included data collection on the history of reforestation in brazil. Environmental laws and scientific papers were reviewed to analyze under which circumstances reforestation is recommended and implemented, and the concepts and definitions employed in these discussions. Results are presented in two articles. The first analyzes the arrival of oil palm cultivation in irituia and local actors’ initial reactions, describing their motivations for adopting or rejecting this activity. The second reveals actors’ perceptions surrounding notions of reforestation according to different world views. The study concludes that oil palm cultivation in irituia was received with divergent attitudes that persist until today between those who defend the activity and those who oppose it. Some view it as a way to earn income and improve their quality of life, while others, who oppose the activity, believe that the activity is not fitting to the local reality. Regarding reforestation, interested groups worked to legalize oil palm cultivation to fit into this category. Farmers who compare current oil palm areas with the previous land-use types (pastures or young fallows) believe that it is pertinent to claim that oil palm fulfils the role of reforestation, since oil palm plantations provide benefits, such as shade, improving the micro-climate and hosting animals, even if they are limited to rodents, snakes and spiders.

Do comum ao privado: as transformações quanto aos principais usos da floresta na Comunidade Santa Maria Assentamento Olho D'Agua II, Município de Moju/PA
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009-03-31) MOREIRA, Liliane Freitas Costa; MOTA, Dalva Maria da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4129724001987611
This study analyses how changes in land tenure regime influences the use of forests by small farmers in the Amazon frontier. The study compared the management practices adopted by farmers in the past, when they hold a communal area of forest, with the practices adopted after the creation of a settlement with each family holding individual plots. Specifically the research focused on changes in access to hunt and in use of slash-and-burn agriculture, both fundamental activities to farmer’s economies. The research was carried out in Santa Maria Community, part of Olho D’Água settlement, in the municipality of Moju, State of Pará, Brazil. The research was conduced between May and July 2008 and included literature review and interviews with local farmers during the field research. The study revealed significant reduction in capture of hunt by local farmers given to restricted access to hunting areas which are now privet and also given to higher demand caused by the increasing number of settled families. As hunt is no longer abundant, farmers intensified slash-and-burn agriculture as a source of food as well as cash income for buying meet in local markets. It is expected that such study fill the gap regarding the lack of researches in the Northern Pará's settlements, especially the relations that the locals have established with the forest in the changes of property regimes.

"É sempre bom ter nosso dinheiro": sobre a mulher e o extrativismo da mangaba
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011) FERNANDES, Thiara; MOTA, Dalva Maria da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4129724001987611
In this research is analyzed the woman autonomy in the Mangaba fruit (Hancornia speciosa) extraction in a farm work family regime, through the study of their everyday extraction activities and the use of their resources. Aiming that, I carried out a case study in a coastline in the north of Brazil, Pará‘s Salgado micro region in the municipality of Maracanã, Espírito Santo community. Academic researches point that in the farm work the woman activity is constantly subordinate to the man‘s, and it is understood as just a ―helping hand‖ even when they dedicate the same or more and obtain the same work results. Differently, researches about women work in the extraction activity suggest that they develop this work with autonomy, mainly the mangaba fruit pickers, the babaçu fruit breakers and the rubber tree tappers. The case study was held in the community with 15 families following direct observation, structured and semi structured interviews. Two aspects were analyzed: i) the woman productive and domestic work and ii) the income access and enjoyment conceived by her work. The main conclusions showed that, concerning to the farm work, different family arrangements are always associated to the domestic structure operation maintenance. About the resources conceived, the mangaba fruit harvest is the only season of the year that the farm work women can save a little ―savings‖ that is spent reasonably during the year, to possible eventualities, such as family diseases and acquisition of consumer goods. Besides, they use the resources to buy input to the animal husbandry. That way, mangaba fruit extraction, that is a seasonal activity, subsidizes the existence of further activities. Concerning to autonomy, 66% of women who are involved in the mangaba fruit extraction state their own autonomy in the work and in the income as well. In 33% of cases, they state themselves as subordinated to men.

Etnoconservação e apropriação social dos buritizais no entorno do Parque Nacional dos Lençóis Maranhenses
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009) MONTELES, Ricardo André Rocha; MOTA, Dalva Maria da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4129724001987611
Con base en entrevistas abiertas y observación participante, se investiga la apropiación social de los buritizais, caracterizando las formas de acceso, de usufruto, las reglas de apropiación y los regímenes de propiedad junto a la población de Cantinho, discutiendo las prácticas de manejo y etno-conservación locales. Examina las formas de obtención de los buritizais, el modo como este recurso se relaciona a la vida social y cómo reflexiona las formas de organización y adaptación al medio natural. El acceso a los buritizais obedece a reglas específicas de apropiación común, régimen en que el recurso es apropiado por el grupo de usuarios, los cuales regulan el uso del recurso, a través de contratos propios fundados en el mutuo respeto y en las interacciones reciprocas entre los miembros de la colectividad. Sin embargo, el proceso de privatización de las áreas de extracción, asociado al incremento de la actividad turística, ha forjado la desestructuración del modo como el grupo apropia el recurso, ya habiendo, en este sentido, una relativa preocupación local sobre la cuestión de la transacción comercial de las tierras y del agua a las personas llamadas “de fuera”. El comportamiento de dejar el buriti descansar, la principal forma de manejo investigada, indica la conservación de los estoques de palmeras disponibles para tirada del ojo y producción de las artesanías, configurándose en una forma eficiente de etno-conservación del recurso. La intensificación de la dinámica de apropiación privada de los buritizais evidencia la re-definición de los procesos socio-ecológicos, materializada por la depleción de la biodiversidad y por la erosión genética, mientras las áreas de extracción se cambian en áreas homogéneas, en términos de composición y diversidad de flora y de los flujos de cambio de materia y energía. Con base en la estructura y dinámica de funcionamiento de los buritizais, las áreas de extracción son clasificadas en tres estados de conservación: las áreas conservadas, las áreas en proceso de desestructuración ecológica, y finalmente, las áreas ecológicamente desestructuradas.

In this thesis my general objective was to analyze the motivation of young people to work in Perseverança, São Domingos do Capim, PA. The universe which the research was developed is characterized by the coexistence of family and corporate production, factor that generates new productive possibilities and market insertion for young people. The research was conducted through a predominantly qualitative approach, case study with interviews and direct observations. The procedures consisted of interviews (closed survey questionnaires, semi- structured guide and non-directive interviews) and direct observations. The study was made with 60 young people, classified into four age groups according to the stage of life which they were in at the time of field research. The main conclusions show that the conception of youth is different between both sexes. For young men the youth is to have physical strength for work, and for girls is associated with having no responsibilities entailed by marriage and children. The motivations of young people for paid employment are: the need to have their own income, the lack of recognition of domestic activities as work and access to labor advantages. In reference of the motivations for family work are: the possibility of time flexibility, the proximity to the family and the relationships with the place they live, marriage. The choice of their profession is directly related to the valorization of work and influence of their parents. The young people are satisfied with the rural life and indicate that their departure or permanence are linked to the lack of opportunities for higher education and work in the community itself.

This research analyzed the work organization in production units of farming families in Nossa Senhora de Lourdes community, Mãe do Rio city, Guamá Microregion in Northeastern Pará, from a context of natural environment limitations. This is a case study conducted from qualitative and quantitative approaches, where the main methodological tools used were interviews, questionnaires and participant observation. The survey data were systematized and analyzed from a theoretical approach that prioritized the analysis categories: family, work division and natural environment exploitation. The main conclusions show that: i) families adapt to limiting ecological conditions in which production units are located, creating alternatives to the productive activities development through these units management reconfiguration and its members work organization ii) children departure to wage is a replication of the parents work path. However, even they do not have access to land, there will be a tension situation between the labor demand that the family production unit requires, the childrens need to gain income "right" both to ensure their basic conditions (clothes, shoes, etc.) like to return to the establishment itself (inputs, working tools and animals purchase), and the parents willingness to achieve its children future alternatives, since the production unit will not sustain a lot of families in the same area iii) while for studied farmers an idealized model of work organization is already idealized based on generation, age and sex of individuals, in practice this idealization does not hold for the entire case study, because families ideal models (couples and children who live and work in the same production unit) are challenged with the children departure to perform extra ground activities (farm and nonfarm), a situation that implies an increase in work effort by some members over others, causing disruptions in culturally defined roles.

A organização do trabalho familiar sob a influência do cultivo do dendê na comunidade Santa Maria/Tomé-Açu-Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-05-05) CAETANO, Márcia Coutinho; MOTA, Dalva Maria da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4129724001987611
In this dissertation, my intention was to analyze the new evidence of family work in a context of incentive to the specialization for palm oil cultivation. A study was conducted in a district in the municipality of Tomé-Açu/PA, one of the centers of oil palm production in the State of Pará. This municipality is different forms of agriculture (family and agribusiness) and labor relations, standing out in the state scenario for the production of fruits, pepper of the kingdom, food crops and recently palm oil in the scope of the Sustainable Production Program Of Palma de Óleo, as of 2010.Oil palm is a monoculture produced by agribusinesses or by integrated family farms (contract agriculture). The objective of this research is to analyze the work organization of peasants who grow palm oil through integration contracts with the company Belém Bioenergia Brasil. The research was conducted in the rural village of Santa Maria in the municipality of Tomé-Açu, northeast of the state of Pará. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were used, including primary and secondary data collection and a literature review. A case study was conducted with all family farmers who have integration contracts and live in the area. The research involved observation and (structured and non-directive) interviews. Observations were conducted both in homes and in the field. Interviews were carried out with heads of household. In addition, informal conversations took place with other members of the district about local background, religious and leisure manifestations, work options and working arrangements. Main conclusions revealed that family work has been redefined as a result of oil palm cultivation. Thus: i) production systems include manioc, oil palm, fruits, rice, maize, beans and small animals; ii) the family workforce is not sufficient to manage either the quantity or the quality of the work, because oil palm demands the physical strength of young men; iii) most women only carry out tasks associated to fertilization, which does not require physical strength, with a few exceptions; iv) Concentration of women in domestic activities;v) some young people, members of integrated families, migrate to work as wage earners in oil palm agribusinesses; vi) the need to hire the labor of integrated peasants, as day laborers, in all establishments for tasks in the cultivation of palm oil in order to fulfill a contract and vii) migration of some young people from the domestic groups to work for wage earners in oil palm industries.Despite this new scenario, influenced by the advent of the integration of family farmers into oil palm cultivation, prospects are promising in terms of an improvement in living standards and income.

Analyze the relationship between the use of agroecological practices and the organization of family labor in Barra do Leme, Pentecost community, Ceará is the goal of this study. The research was conducted from a case study, where participant observation and non-directive interviews were used to collect field data. The methodological approach was both qualitatively and quantitatively. The practice observed was swidden without burning held by all members of the community. This practice changed the relationship of the community farmers with the swidden. Among other aspects observed, it was revealed decreased duration the cultivation cycle which now begin only with the onset of the rains; fixation of farmers in growing areas, discouraging the use of new cultivation areas the adoption of the manuring as a form of alternative to soil fertilization by burn; and the increase of livestock farming in the community.

This research analyzes the influence that the Family Farming Food Acquisition Program has on the work done by women farmers of the Trevo de Belterra Community, Municipality of Belterra, Micro-region of Santarém, the Integration Region Lower Amazon, Pará, Brazil. It is a case study from the qualitative approach, in which the main methodological procedures used were: participant observation and semi-structured interview. The theoretical framework that embodied the research draws on the following thematic categories: peasants, productive work of female farmers and public policies for rural areas. The key findings show that: i) the Municipal PAA of Santarém is the result of an articulation between social actors (family farmers and the Unions of Rural Workers of Santarém, Belterra and Mojuí dos Campos) and government institutions, with emphasis for Santarém City Hall, which produced an innovative institutional and spatial arrangement to constitute a geographical area for the implementation of Santarém’s Municipal PAA, which also encompasses the municipalities of Belterra and Mojuí dos Campos; ii) the PAA influence on the work of female farmers are more expressive regarding the production practices and intensity of work, since no changes with regard to working hours was observed; iii) participation in PAA allowed not only a strengthening of economic empowerment of women farmers, but also decision-making autonomy, in which these women are gradually earning active voice and their suggestions included; iv) participation in the PAA encourages the involvement of women farmers associations, cooperatives and union membership; it is a way of them having contact with the information linked to family farming.

Rural women began participating in greater numbers in trade unions, and other social movements and organizations at the start of the 1980s. However, women's access to leadership positions is still restricted. In this work I analyze the actions of women employed in the oil palm cultivation sector and involved in the management of the SERMTAB - the Moju Rural Workers Union. This research is predominantly qualitative, involving a case study in the municipality of Moju, Pará. Non-directive and semi-structured interviews were carried out with members of the Union's management, consisting of nine directors of which three are women. The main findings show that SERMTAB is the largest representation body for rural employees in Moju. Members of the management work in family-based agriculture and come from a wide range of backgrounds and include young people, women and older men. However, decision-making spaces are still in the hands of men. The fact that the union's capacity for action is restricted and power relations hierarchized means that women remain in a subaltern position and under male domination. Breakdown of power relations does, however, take place in a subtle manner when women accept to participate in the union, challenge family structures, debate with other workers and confront prejudice in their role as trade unionists. Nevertheless, the fact that women are not formally part of management hinders their emergence as rural, wage-earning workers and trade unionists.

The objective of this dissertation was to analise the relation between work and autonomy of women whom production contracts with dendê agroindustry are assigned by them. The empiric universe was the city of São Domingos do Capim, northeast of Pará, within 11% of production contracts were assigned by women. The used treatment was generally qualitative by a case study within interviews were done (open and half-structured) and observations. Based in working of obtain field data and posterior interviews systematization, the main results were in relation to: 1) the different reasons by these contracts were made in their names; 2) the participation in public spaces and contacts net growing. The main conclusions show that having a contract in their own name does not mean having autonomy, although changes happen with new possibilities of production and participation in public spaces. The women live different experiences, but do not contest verbally the sexual division of work or their self-autonomy.

The aim of this dissertation is to analyze the working arrangements that take place rural villages where palm oil is produced in the north-east of the Brazilian state of Pará. Palm oil has been cultivated in this region for a number of decades. However, production has only recently been promoted through public subsidies such as the National Program for the Production and use of Biodiesel (PNPB) and the Palm Oil Sustainable Production Program (PSOP). This study was conducted at two different levels: i) the regional level, as an exploratory investigation taking place in 341 rural villages in 21 municipalities in the north- east of Pará; and ii) the local level, a more in-depth investigation involving a case study in Água Azul village, in the municipality of Tomé Açu. The method used consisted of interviews (closed questionnaires, semi-structured and non-directive interviews), as well as direct observations. Main results revealed that in rural villages many other activities take place (such as trade, extraction and public services) as well as agriculture. The residents' relationship with palm oil production affects the number of activities developed in the villages. In villages where a number of residents involved in palm oil production, activities are less diversified, because there is less is time to spend and fewer hands to work on other activities. Farming families who have one or more of their members employed elsewhere cultivate smaller production areas. In farming families where members are involved in to oil palm production, there is an increase in perennial crops cultivation and a decrease in annual crops cultivation because of a lack of workforce. Findings for both the meso-region and the case study coincided with regard to: a reduction in agricultural diversification; effects of employment of family members; on family farming working arrangements; workforce demands; and a dependency on the labor of the older population. As a general conclusion, I observed the existence of a number of tendencies relating to working arrangements which, in certain situations, undermine family farming and in others reinforce it.

Vida e trabalho: um estudo sobre mulheres extrativistas de mangaba na Ilha do Marajó, Estado do Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012) LIMA, Bianca Ferreira; MOTA, Dalva Maria da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4129724001987611
This study dedicates itself to the role women develop in the mangaba extraction in the northern region of Brazil. In this regard, the main objective of the present Master’s thesis is to identify and characterize the mangaba extraction by analyzing the women’s role in the activity. The case study was developed in Vila Paca, a small village in Marajó island, Pará. The methodology was structured by qualitative approaches focused on the following procedures: observation, meetings and interviews (semi-structured and questionnaires) with the women involved in mangaba extraction who live in Vila Paca and their domestic groups, as well as some persons from adjacent places who also work with mangaba. Two aspects where subject to the analysis: a) the role that women extractors play in their domestic groups; b) The importance of mangaba extraction in the midst of the other activities. The main results show that: i) the magaba extraction is a seasonal activity conducted exclusively by women, with the help of their children; ii) There are also four other places developing the mangaba extraction in that region, and there are variations in administration, access and management of the magaba trees, between them; iii)There’s no Government programs, technical aid, financial incentives or consultancy towards the native fruits extraction throughout the stages (from gathering to marketing); iv) the activity, as performed by this group of women, ensures the conservation of the local natural resources; v)the main share of the mangaba’s productive chain occurs in a domestic space (processing and sale), which favors the condition of social invisibility of those women through their jobs. The main conclusions shows that in that region the extraction activity is “naturalized”, and that in any stage of the work (gathering, processing, or marketing) it receives the status of work, however this don’t means the activity itself doesn’t have meaning in the eyes of the domestic groups and other actors but is relegated to second rank status when it comes to the jobs considered productive among them.
