(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-04-08) NASCIMENTO, Thaylana Pires do; CATTANIO, José Henrique; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1518769773387350; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8335-9593
Among the existing ecosystems in the Amazon biome, there are the floodplains (dense alluvial ombrophilous forest known as the estuary floodplain forest), where traditional communities, such as indigenous peoples, quilombo community, rubber tappers, chestnut trees, babassu coconut breakers and the riverside. The main economic activities carried out in these floodplain forests are extractivism, mainly the collection of açaí fruits, the extraction of palm hearts and wood, artisanal fishing, and shrimp capture. The objective of this research was to evaluate the changes in relation to the sustainable use of the Environmental Protection Area of Ilha do Combú (APA Ilha do Combú), relating the current economy from non-timber forest products, with the economic strategies used by the riverside people in a time frame of 30 years. The methodology used was field research based on interviews with the application of semi-structured questionnaires in 10 key families. The benefits and disadvantages of creating the APA Ilha do Combú were raised, where the increase in the number of bars and restaurants seems to be going against the wishes of the local population. It was confirmed the hypothesis that the intensification of açaí management on the properties resulted increase in the profitability of the inhabitants of the Island in relation to what was achieved in 1990. However, this factor results in a greater dependence on this product to the detriment of other NTFPs listed in 1990.

Entre o extrativismo e a catação: utilização das sementes de andiroba (Carapa Guianensis Aublet.) no Município de Marapanim (Pará, Brasil)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-04-26) FURTADO, Diego Corrêa; SILVA, Luís Mauro Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7285459738695923; SABLAYROLLES, Maria das Graças Pires; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0250972497887101
Andiroba (Carapa guianensis Aublet) is a plant species typical of semi-flooded or non-flooded forests, but, in Pará state (Brazil), its seeds disperse through water courses, reaching beaches. From such fact, the present study issued to investigate how the productive and symbolic appropriation of this species is performed by human populations who live in the mentioned beaches, also comparing the collected data with the information described in the scientific literature, which, so far, has been concentrating its efforts on the forest context. Field research was at Marapanim municipality, and as study method, it was chosen the case study, associated to participatory observation, interviews with semi-structured scripts, guided visits and thematic debates. The study concluded that the extraction of the andiroba seeds oil in Marapanim is based on technical knowledge and symbolic constructions introduced by people came from areas where andiroba tree is typical. Such work increases familiar income during the months that follow the species period, but the absence of andiroba trees at the local beaches brings doubts on the way how the research subjects express their identification as extractivists.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013) NASCIMENTO, Elcio Costa do; GUERRA, Gutemberg Armando Diniz; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4262726973211880
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.

“Saiu o dinheiro do coco?”: Avaliação de processo da Política de Garantia de Preços Mínimos para os Produtos da Sociobiodiversidade (PGPM-Bio) para a amêndoa do babaçu no Médio Mearim, Maranhão
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-10-29) OLIVEIRA, Letícia Sales da Costa; PORRO, Roberto; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2282097420081043
The main objective of this dissertation was to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of the Minimum Price Guarantee Policy for Sociobiodiversity Products (PGPM-Bio) and its effects on the social organization of babassu coconut breakers in the Médio Mearim, Maranhão, where about one third of the national production of almonds occur. A decade after the public policy’s creation, social actors engaged in extractivism demand studies on the effectiveness of its implementation. In the 2009-2018 period, 48% of PGPM-Bio's resources were channeled for babassu almonds. The action research methodology provided the involvement of representation and advisory institutions and the manifestation of local social subjects on the implementation scenarios of PGPM-Bio. The need for the involvement of direct beneficiaries and those who make the access to PGPM-Bio viable for babassu-nut breakers (mediating agents) led to the adoption of participatory tools that are easy to understand and implement. The results obtained include the identification and analysis of the performance of eight mediating agents’ categories, either linked to formal organizations (union, association, cooperative, Miqcb, government agencies) or not (informal group, independent dispatcher, trader), with 14 initiatives selected in 10 municipalities. Qualitative information from the experiences expressed by mediating agents received quantitative treatment through competence radar charts. More than 240 beneficiary babassu-nut breakers participated in collective activities and narrated their perceptions about the effect of the access to the economic subsidy, in the 2016 to 2018 period. Quantitative information was analyzed using community radar charts. The triangulation of information highlighted the potential and limitations of the policy, mediating agents, and social organizations involved. Results highlight the breadth of access to the resource and the heterogeneity of the forms of appropriation, decision-making autonomy and management strategies. The evaluation showed that initiatives carried out by Rural Workers' Unions were more effective, in contrast to those of informal groups, the cooperative and independent dispatcher, which were less effective and demand additional efforts. The research contributed to the groups’ organizational strategy, as they started to think and act through support and partnership networks, and formed the PGPM-Bio Commission in the Médio Mearim.
