This research presents the analysis and understanding of the different strategies of Food and Nutritional Security - SAN developed by the families of the Quilombola Community of Baixo Acaraqui, city of Abaetetuba, Pará. The community is facing changes in their eating habits due of the reduction of natural resources (hunting animals, fishes and shrimps), decreasing of the area for agricultural production, increase of the commercial value of production and increase on spending at manufactured goods. From a qualitative approach and using the following procedures: participant observation, semi-structured interviews and photographic record, free list and workshops on eating habits. We sought, through the integration between the researcher and the social group in question, to appropriate of some information to enable an understanding about the community and their production and food practices. Among the practices developed by families, we observed: a) increase of the production for the marketing, reducing the diversity of local production, reducing the self-sufficiency of families and making production unstable in the face of fluctuations of the local market; b) increasing in the importance of extraction of açaí as an economic factor of income generator; c) increasing the hardship in acquiring locally produced foods (fishes, shrimps, hunting animals); d) Substitution of natural products (natural juices, teas) for industrial products (coffee, soda) by raising spending on food and the need to generate income; e) the increase in purchasing power, stimulated both by the increase of the marketing and the social benefits received (bolsa família, aposentadoria and seguro defeso), encouraged the replacement of local production of some products (rice and beans) for your purchase on local businesses. This reality has significantly influenced the production practices and eating habits of the families of the Quilombola Community of Baixo Acaraqui, influencing in production decisions and in the acquisition of food, making families increasingly dependent on trade and income generation to ensuring the food and nutritional security of the quilombola families.

Um olhar de gênero sobre a reconstrução da agricultura em Abaetetuba, Pará.
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2004-04-30) MOURÃO, Patrícia de Lucena; GUERRA, Gutemberg Armando Diniz; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4262726973211880
The revelation of the negative aspects of modernization in agriculture upon women, men and the environment, brought up the need to develop alternative ways of food production establishing new relations with local eco-systems. In this view, the Agroecology has an important contribution because it relates the technological model to the productive aspects, environmental, social and economic, including gender relationships. This study analyses production and reproduction strategies of familial agriculture, identifying potentialities and limits for the development of sustainable agro systems and to the fair gender relationship. This strategies research was made among land workers (men and women), from the region of Abaetetuba – Pará, participants of the Center – “Tecnologias Alternativas Tipiti”. With the result of this research, we found out that the familial agricultural strategies turn to the construction of the agroecologic sustainability instead of the gender equality. This is because of the poor understanding that the transformation of the technological standard has to be related to men and women performance and social position, and that themselves are able to change. We hope to help this process with this study.
