A participação dos agricultores na construção do PROAMBIENTE: uma reflexão a partir do Pólo Transamazônica
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007-08-31) ARAÚJO, Idelbergue Ferreira; VEIGA JUNIOR, Iran Pereira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9513562131313692
Smallholder representative organizations in the Transamazon highway have performed critical roles of mediation in the last two decades, and more recently became active in public policymaking. The PROAMBIENTE Program, incorporated by the federal government in 2003, reaffirms this trend. However, the construction of the program by Amazonian smallholder representative organizations and their partner technicians while provoking a reversal of public policy processes in Brazil (traditionally a government imposition to society) did not involve the subjects themselves in this process. Emerging from representative organizations, PROAMBIENTE faces strong resistance from the majority of the smallholders. The reason argued here for that is the distance between what was foreseen by the program and the aspirations of the smallholders and the leaders of the organizations that proposed the program. In the São Vicente group, particularly, even the producers who reveal affinity with PROAMBIENTE do not consistently assimilate its principles. Rather they appropriate the socioambiental rhetoric, advocated by the representative organizations in the Transamazon.

Transição agroecológica: sonho ou realidade?: uma reflexão do Pólo Rio Capim do PROAMBIENTE
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009-08-31) NASCIMENTO, Huandria Figueiredo do; KATO, Osvaldo Ryohei; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4241891652832872; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2422-9227
It identifies and analyzes changes in agricultural and nonagricultural practice which took place in small farms of community agents and family farmers in Polo Rio Capim do PROAMBIENTE. The aims of this study were achieved through a field research where qualitative and quantitative approaches were used, having also used methodological tools, questionnaires, interviews and observation. The individuals (agents and farmers) were analyzed in two different ways: Type A agents and famers, type B agents and famers, and type C agents and famers. The identified training processes were classified in five classes: 1- course in production techniques and product processing, 2- interchange and days of field, 3- course in rural property management, 4- participation in events and, 5- others. The identified changes were analyzed qualitatively by analyzing interviews. Quantitatively there was an evaluation of variants which were investigated (mechanization, use of fire, use of pesticides and fertilizers, hiring labor, exchanging days of work and team work, family income, taking courses, production, quality of products, spending on production, spending on family, occurrence of pests and diseases and diseases in family) among individuals (agents and farmers) of types A, B, and C, and levels of answers (increased, didn’t change or decreased). The conclusions reveal that type A agents suffered high influence of training processes before PROAMBIENTE, and this resulted in changes in agricultural practices in their farms. Type B agents have a hard time introducing agro-ecological actions due to the lack of time because of their political / syndical involvement and other activities out of their farms. Type B and C agents have a high level of political involvement and also have low level of training and that has influence in not introducing agro-ecological actions. Overall, the processes of technical training that generated changes in agricultural properties, independently of the type they were classified, were promoted by PROAMBIENTE. Finally, the agro-ecological transition in the properties of the people who were interviewed will not happen by replacing and or eliminating agricultural pesticides and fertilizers, it will happen by thinking how to use natural resources, and these were the key elements of family agriculture in the Amazon.
