This research analyzes the influence that the Family Farming Food Acquisition Program has on the work done by women farmers of the Trevo de Belterra Community, Municipality of Belterra, Micro-region of Santarém, the Integration Region Lower Amazon, Pará, Brazil. It is a case study from the qualitative approach, in which the main methodological procedures used were: participant observation and semi-structured interview. The theoretical framework that embodied the research draws on the following thematic categories: peasants, productive work of female farmers and public policies for rural areas. The key findings show that: i) the Municipal PAA of Santarém is the result of an articulation between social actors (family farmers and the Unions of Rural Workers of Santarém, Belterra and Mojuí dos Campos) and government institutions, with emphasis for Santarém City Hall, which produced an innovative institutional and spatial arrangement to constitute a geographical area for the implementation of Santarém’s Municipal PAA, which also encompasses the municipalities of Belterra and Mojuí dos Campos; ii) the PAA influence on the work of female farmers are more expressive regarding the production practices and intensity of work, since no changes with regard to working hours was observed; iii) participation in PAA allowed not only a strengthening of economic empowerment of women farmers, but also decision-making autonomy, in which these women are gradually earning active voice and their suggestions included; iv) participation in the PAA encourages the involvement of women farmers associations, cooperatives and union membership; it is a way of them having contact with the information linked to family farming.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008-08-29) SILVA, Maria Evaneide Pantoja da; SCHMITZ, Heribert; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2294519993210835
This study is empirical. It is based on experience of a qualitative nature that searches to analyze historically the Movement of Women of the Northeast State of Pará (MMNEPA) and their role as social agents. This study takes into account: the processes responsible for the socialization of women farmers and their insertion into this process; how women influence the socialization of one another and does this reflect on the continuation of the movement; how does the movement socialize all men participating there and how do these men influence the socialization of the women in the movement. For the collection of data, I used principally the documentary study which was produced by the very MMNEPA; direct and participative observation and interviews. The observation took place during the period from January 2007 to January 2008 and the interviews from October 2007 to January 2008. It was concluded that MMNEPA while being a social agent, uses their formation experiences as an instrument for demonstrating their results on women which help them to interact among themselves thus making the movement selfsufficient and strong.
