(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2005-02-16) MATOS, Lucilda Maria Sousa de; PINHEIRO, Lena Vania Ribeiro; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9613980184982976; KATO, Maria do Socorro Andrade; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7117950232304118
The research was done with the objective of identifying and analysing the needs, demands and uses of information from partner farmers of the research project, “Adaptation and participative validity of an area preparation without burning in northern Pará”, developed in the cities of Igarapé-Açu and Marapanim, by Embrapa, in the communication process and information for action. Based on interviews and observations, it was outlined the prolife of partner farmers and opinion makers and identified their demands of information, being the most significative ones related to agriculture (cultivation, deseases, pests, financing/agricultural credit), followed by information on Education, Social Security, Law etc. The concept of information was constructed from the interviewd perceptions and were studied, still, participative actions developed by the project, means of mass communication of wider audience; besides support and information barriers. Among the social and institutional actors acting in the process, there is strong participation of relatives neighboring farmers, as a source of information for the communities and, among the several institutions, and Embrapa. Through the application of the technique of the critical incident the search of more recent information was analyzed, when agriculturist partners had needed information to develop their activities, if they had gotten it or not, and what this caused in their activities in familiar agriculture and their lives.

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.
