Agroecologia e políticas públicas:análise de processos junto a grupos de famílias do núcleo oeste do Paraná da Rede Ecovida

Abstract

Understanding from the existing real the constituted social dynamics is the main objective of dialectical historical materialism. Thus, we developed from this method, a study to interpret the phenomena that occur alongside the peasant families of the EcoVida Network of the West of Paraná, who daily challenge themselves to build Agroecology. We support some authors who have discussed this theme in other historical moments to bring a set of elements, to reflect on the current practice. In this way, to interpret with greater clarity the existing material processes and their contradictions, which, in turn, underpin and support the planning of new actions capable of overcoming the limits imposed by the real. The greater capacity of analysis contributes to the determination of new practices more consistent and propulsive, adding more intensity in the development. Permeating this established material base, we have a set of public policies that directly interfere in this rhythm and towards being triggered. These, in turn, fulfill a role of social and productive organization, according to the interests of the Brazilian state. We opted to discuss in the work some of these that relate and interfere directly with this real, bringing elements for discussion and that enabled us to better understand these and their transformation potential. We studied the policies of Agrarian Reform, Pronaf, PNAE and PAA. It was verified, mainly, the non-effectiveness of Pronaf for Agroecology. We present, then, the historical, material and dialectical elements of three groups of farming families of the Ecovida Network and we summarize their main contradictions in the processes and that hamper the development of the material base. development of production "; "Development of productive forces"; "Access to public policies"; "Lack of development of new social relations of production: peasant cooperatives and the Base Groups of the Ecovida Network"; "Supporting entities"; "Availability of workforce". We have identified that public policies aimed at the promotion of agroecology should focus on this chain link (organize the marketproduction process) in order to foster increasing demand and trigger the development of the production of existing agro-ecological groups. Finally, we also emphasize the importance of qualifying and expanding studies on this methodology of analysis by other researchers, based on Historical and Dialectical Materialism, contributing to the advancement of the popular Agroecology project.
