Programa nacional de fortalecimento da agricultura familiar: um estudo de subprogramas em municípios selecionados do território da cidadania Cantuquiriguaçu/PR entre os anos de 2015 e 2020

Abstract

This research aimed to identify the evolution of access to PRONAF resources, as a public policy, by family farming in municipalities of the Cantuquiriguaçu Citizenship Territory/PR, from the selected subprograms, between the years 2015 and 2020. Thus, the specific objectives that this research aims to achieve are: a) demonstrate the role of PRONAF as a public policy acting in the development of family farming; b) perform a survey of secondary data on access to PRONAF resources, from the selected subprograms, focusing on the municipalities of Laranjeiras do Sul, Nova Laranjeiras, Quedas do Iguaçu and Rio Bonito do Iguaçu; c) analyze the evolution of access to PRONAF resources by family farming in the municipalities studied, from the selected subprograms. The subprograms selected were: PRONAF Mulher, Jovem, Reforma Agrária, Eco and Mais Alimentos. The methodology employed in the formulation of the work is a bibliographical research, being carried out through the collection of secondary data in the Central Bank of Brazil's database. From this data collection, and this study is characterized as quantitative, the information collected was updated for the month of December 2020 through the INPC for a better comparison between the values. The number of contracts and the values accessed for Brazil, the South region, the Northeast region and for the State of Paraná were collected for all the analyzed lines, in order to compare with the data collected in the selected municipalities. About the results obtained with the data collection, it is possible to see that the social subprograms (Women, Youth and Agrarian Reform), have over the years a decrease in the number of contracts and amounts accessed. The Eco subprogram does not seem to arouse the interest of rural farmers. And the Mais Alimentos line is, among those studied, the most accessed, with a growing number of contracts and amounts over the years. It can be concluded that among the sub-lines studied, those aimed at social and environmental assistance have a decrease in contracts and amounts between 2015 and 2020. On the other hand, the subline focused on production, as is the case of Mais Alimentos, has increasing values, demonstrating that PRONAF is still today focused on and favors more capitalized farmers.
