This research analyzed the work organization in production units of farming families in Nossa Senhora de Lourdes community, Mãe do Rio city, Guamá Microregion in Northeastern Pará, from a context of natural environment limitations. This is a case study conducted from qualitative and quantitative approaches, where the main methodological tools used were interviews, questionnaires and participant observation. The survey data were systematized and analyzed from a theoretical approach that prioritized the analysis categories: family, work division and natural environment exploitation. The main conclusions show that: i) families adapt to limiting ecological conditions in which production units are located, creating alternatives to the productive activities development through these units management reconfiguration and its members work organization ii) children departure to wage is a replication of the parents work path. However, even they do not have access to land, there will be a tension situation between the labor demand that the family production unit requires, the childrens need to gain income "right" both to ensure their basic conditions (clothes, shoes, etc.) like to return to the establishment itself (inputs, working tools and animals purchase), and the parents willingness to achieve its children future alternatives, since the production unit will not sustain a lot of families in the same area iii) while for studied farmers an idealized model of work organization is already idealized based on generation, age and sex of individuals, in practice this idealization does not hold for the entire case study, because families ideal models (couples and children who live and work in the same production unit) are challenged with the children departure to perform extra ground activities (farm and nonfarm), a situation that implies an increase in work effort by some members over others, causing disruptions in culturally defined roles.

O Trabalho sob influência da dendeicultura em vilas rurais paraenses

The aim of this dissertation is to analyze the working arrangements that take place rural villages where palm oil is produced in the north-east of the Brazilian state of Pará. Palm oil has been cultivated in this region for a number of decades. However, production has only recently been promoted through public subsidies such as the National Program for the Production and use of Biodiesel (PNPB) and the Palm Oil Sustainable Production Program (PSOP). This study was conducted at two different levels: i) the regional level, as an exploratory investigation taking place in 341 rural villages in 21 municipalities in the north- east of Pará; and ii) the local level, a more in-depth investigation involving a case study in Água Azul village, in the municipality of Tomé Açu. The method used consisted of interviews (closed questionnaires, semi-structured and non-directive interviews), as well as direct observations. Main results revealed that in rural villages many other activities take place (such as trade, extraction and public services) as well as agriculture. The residents' relationship with palm oil production affects the number of activities developed in the villages. In villages where a number of residents involved in palm oil production, activities are less diversified, because there is less is time to spend and fewer hands to work on other activities. Farming families who have one or more of their members employed elsewhere cultivate smaller production areas. In farming families where members are involved in to oil palm production, there is an increase in perennial crops cultivation and a decrease in annual crops cultivation because of a lack of workforce. Findings for both the meso-region and the case study coincided with regard to: a reduction in agricultural diversification; effects of employment of family members; on family farming working arrangements; workforce demands; and a dependency on the labor of the older population. As a general conclusion, I observed the existence of a number of tendencies relating to working arrangements which, in certain situations, undermine family farming and in others reinforce it.
