(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.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010-03-09) RODRIGUES, Deusimar Miranda; VEIGA JUNIOR, Iran Pereira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9513562131313692
This study analyzes the forms of participation exerted by farmers associated to a cooperative, COOPAEXPA, concerning planning and organization of agricultural production, and its flow toward a central of cooperatives, Central Nova Amafrutas, which operated in the Municipality of Benevides, State of Pará, between 2000 and 2007, when it went bankrupt. Through specific objectives, the study describes how the centers of production were formed, showing the participation of farmers in the decision making process when it involved themselves; it describes how the centers of production operated showing their participation in production planning and organization, as well as product delivery to the central of cooperatives; it analyzes the results, in terms of production and delivery of production including the comparison of these results against the plan that was created. The conclusions show that the centers of production, despite their fragilities, in general, worked reasonably well when supplying raw-material to Nova Amafrutas, up until when, through COOPAGRI, it centralized the decision process affecting the farmers, which coincides with the period when COOPAEXPA offers conditions of infrastructure and logistic for implementation of the production of its associates in the mentioned centers. During the collective decision taking process, it was observed that associates were permitted only to make decisions on planning and implementation of actions in the centers of production, and an incipient evaluation of the results during the general assemblies. In general, the associates‟ participation in the general assemblies was limited to the approval of decisions already made by the cooperative‟s leaders and their assistants. It was observed, however, that the degree of control of the cooperative‟s members on more important decisions were restricted to the “Compulsory Consulting”, because the decisions were presented during the general assemblies, and the associates, through vote approved it or not, sometimes without a real understanding of the process. It is evident that the information and formation of the cooperative did not flow toward a preparation for a conscious participation which could make it possible for the leaders and associates to conduct the process cooperatively.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-04-25) SILVA, Cleveland Gustavo Canto; MESQUITA, André Luiz Amarante; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1331279630816662
The Amazon region has high water potential and large natural reservoirs of water existing in the most diverse forms (springs, aquifers, lakes, etc.), however the distribution and access to the resource by the population are unequal, making the demand for water much greater than its availability in certain regions, which leads to water stress. In the Amazon, family farming is a relevant activity in regional sustainable development, and demands part of this resource, which is a limiting factor for regional development. Faced with this reality, water capture, storage and conservation technologies are used, with dams being one of the available technologies that play an important role in the democratization of water use. Therefore, through this research, we seek to design a dam that will serve as an artificial reservoir for water storage, intended for agricultural consumption of cocoa plantation on an agro-family scale on a farm located in the municipality of Novo Repartimento, to optimize its cultivation cycles, combined with the use of new technologies that use local resources and renewable energy sources available in the Amazon. For this, the water demand necessary for the agricultural activity of the enterprise was evaluated, comprising the Water Balance of the location, as well as delimiting the watershed of direct contribution of the dam, allowing the dimensioning of the artificial reservoir to meet the volume of water needed in the activity.

Expectativas de jovens que vivem em assentamento: um estudo sobre a tríade trabalho-educação-família
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2006-09-05) OLIVEIRA, Rosa de Souza; SOUZA, Orlando Nobre Bezerra de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8567141884452588
The present study tried to understand the young expectations that live in the establishment Luiz Lopes Sobrinho, located in the Municipal District of San Francisco of Pará. It is a research characterized as quantitative and qualitative, once the data had statistical and interpretative treatment with base in the content analysis. The Stratified Random Probability Method was used for the selection of the sample. The instruments of collection of data were the following ones: the direct observation and the interview through form and of itinerary. The corpus of the research was constituted in the speech of thirty young of the gender masculine or feminine, in the age group from 15 to 24 years and that they belong an origin family or of reproduction. The conclusive approaches revealed that the youth production of that establishment, in general, nurtures expectations of exercising activities different from the farming, with the purpose of improving their life condition; it wants to transmit values and social rules, aiming at to give continuity to the you know acquired in the origin family; it hopes to get a work/employment/professional formation, looking for a sense the own existence, as well as wants to constitute family, to have a companion and children with the purpose of reproducing the model of effective family. Those hopes, in its group, moderate for the sphere of politics that make possible rural development.

This research aimed to analyze the implementation of rural credit resources FNO Pronaf in agriculture/Familiar (AF) in the northern region. He admitted that these funds have contributed to the growth of agricultural production in the region, having a relevant role in food production, as well as in the generation of income and pricing policy in the field. The results revealed that: each State has its own dynamics with regard to the rural sector, with a greater or lesser degree, depending on the agrarian structure and the performance of public policies directed to that segment; some States have low credit demand of FNO/Pronaf for reasons as agrarian conflicts and casting of rural activities arising from laws relating to environmental protection; There are concentration of resources granted for the expansion of the production of the AF held by groups with higher income levels, and only some States specialize in the agricultural sector.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009-08-28) BRITTO, Guilherme Coelho; KATO, Osvaldo Ryohei; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4241891652832872; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2422-9227
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.

On the municipalities of Pará’s Northeast mesoregion, family farmers have been standing out by establishing experiences with forest recovering on their properties. Based on that context, it was aimed to understand how forest recovering of riparian forest has been implemented on their agricultural establishments, considering their importance to the environment and the relation built between those areas, the Amazonian rural populations and their water resources. Hence, the research supports on the principles of systemic approach and of interdisciplinarity. The region of Itabocal, rural area of the Irituia’s municipality, located on the Northeast of Pará, was chosen as sample. In the first paper the processes of forest recovering found on the area’s riparian forest were characterized through a typology developed by field research. Altogether, three main types of recovering were identified, being enrichment of regenerating forest, natural regeneration and agroforestry systems. In the second paper, the socio-productive trajectories that took the farmers to decide on riparian forest recover were investigated, through a space-time analysis. After analyzing how factors that were extern to their agriculture establishments and how those that were intern of their systems influenced them through the years, it was understood that the recover of the areas was mostly caused by the concern with the maintenance of quality, flow and biota of the region’s biggest stream, Itabocal river. With the knowledge of Itabocal river’s importance to the local population, the third paper focused on the impacts suffered on it and the proposition of solutions to control them, based on the socio-spatial analysis built with the farmers. The deforestation of riparian forest, encouraged mainly by landowners, was noteworthy as the most frequent impact. It was also noticed that the river’s management is established on a non-institutional way on the region, generated by the family farmers’ efforts towards its maintenance. The results showed that the Itabocal’s family farmers follow a trend towards the forest recovering and have a well-defined perception over the problems caused by the deforestation of riparian forest. The main obstacles noticed for the recovering of those areas are related to a) the inefficiency of local public power in inspecting and stimulating them, either by proposing legal instruments of incentive or by including the region’s inhabitants on the decision making process relative to environmental conservation; and b) on the absence of certain groups’ environmental consciousness, like landowners, that insist on the riparian forest predatory exploitation. It was accomplished that the relevance of riparian forest recover is tied to the relation that the studied population have with the water.
