Novas conexões para o desenvolvimento rural : a agricultura familiar e a perspectiva do jovem administrador

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the relationship between the curricular proposal of the training course of the Federal University of Southern Border (UFFS) administration course, Cerro Largo campus, and the perspective of rural development perceived by the children of farmers graduated between 2014 and 2016 and graduating students bachelors in 2017/2. For this, a participative research of qualitative and descriptive nature was chosen. To meet the objective proposed, an interview with a pre-established itinerary was used to obtain information about the relationship between the curricular proposal of the course and the development of rural property. The application of the survey occurred in the second half of 2017. The main results obtained refer to the characterization of rural property, evidencing that 61% of the sample represents the average rural property. The most representative indexes refer to the labor force used in the property, which is largely familiar, and the relative importance of the training course of the administration course, besides the influence of decisions before, during and after the the agricultural activity. Finally, it is added that the young man is in search of new challenges within the agricultural environment, this, seeks to overcome the limitations for the development of his property or of which he is involved. From the foregoing, one can understand the great benefit that the Management course concentrates with the Rural Development and Agroindustrial Management training line, which involves broad discussions about the agricultural and agroindustrial reality, thus helping agricultural and agroindustrial development.
