Políticas públicas de ATER e agroecologia: uma análise comparada no estado de Pernambuco

Abstract

This article seeks to describe the extension of actions aimed at sustainable agriculture, carried out by institutions that support farmers in agroecological base. For this, we present a comparative approach involving two groups of farmers of Pernambuco, one connected to an agroecological association, and another formed by setting an official program of agrarian reform. For the survey data, interviews with key sources and with participating farmers of the two experiments were performed. Research shows that, alongside the policies advocated by the governmental sphere in recent years and encouraging the incorporation of Agroecology rural development dynamics, it is essential the support of other actors to overcome the limitations around the different socioeconomic situations, productive, environmental and membership organization present in the strategies and experiences of family farmers.
