Título: Agroecologia e tecnologias sociais na convivência com o Semiárido: o relato de uma experiência cearense, sob a luz da Economia Ecológica Autor(es): Moreira, Lunian Fernandes; Santos, Maria Miriam Barros dos; Pedroza, Vanessa Gomes; Costa, Maria Inês Escobar da; Casimiro Filho, Francisco Abstract: The social technologies for coexistence with the Brazilian Semi-Arid Region are essential instruments for family farmers to stay in their area and remain producing in periods of low drought in the Semi-Arid Region of the state of Ceará, Brazil. Family farmers use these technologies aiming at the permanence and maintenance of their productive backyards, even with the lack of water that plagues that state in the second half of the year. Within this discussion, the theoretical approach defended by Ecological Economics and Agroecology stands out as epistemologies necessary for the debate regarding the family farmers’ permanence in the countryside. Thus, the central objective of this work is to describe and analyze the main social technologies observed in a rural residence in the community of Santo Antônio dos Alves, in the municipality of Tabuleiro do Norte, state of Ceará, Brazil. The methodology employed was field research with observation, registration, and analysis of the technologies present. Therefore, it was identified that the main technologies used by family farmers are the worm farm, biowater, biogas, and the cistern. These technologies have individual functions, but when combined together, they function as a network for technological assistance that contributes to the permanence in the countryside for those who live on and off the land.

Título: Gestão municipal da agropecuária nos municípios cearenses Autor(es): Insaurralde, Paula Andreia Bezerra; Lima, Patrícia Verônica Pinheiro Sales; Cabral, Nájila Rejanne Alencar Julião; Casimiro Filho, Francisco; Silva, Everton Nogueira; Mesquita, Daiane Felix Santiago Abstract: The objective of this article is to analyze the level of implementation of municipal management instruments aimed at supporting agriculture in the municipalities of Ceará. To do so, it uses data extracted from the Basic Municipal Information Survey – MUNIC, year 2020, published by IBGE. Thirty municipal management instruments were selected, distributed across five dimensions: i) management entities, ii) programs to support agricultural diversification, iii) Programs to support agricultural production, iv) social support actions for agricultural producers and v) supply of infrastructure to support the commercialization of production. The level of implementation of such instruments was measured through the construction of aggregate indices, which were analyzed using descriptive statistics measures. The main results showed that municipalities have a low uptake of instruments that could support agricultural activities, especially in the dimension of offering services to assist commercialization. The study showed the need for greater engagement by local authorities in supporting agricultural activities. This omission on the part of municipal managers is a factor that can inhibit the creation of a governance structure capable of supporting public rural development policies. Tipo: Artigo de Periódico

Título: Análise do desempenho financeiro e econômico da agroindústria cearense M. Dias Branco Autor(es): N’dami, Medna; Reis, José Newton Pires; Campos, Kilmer Coelho; Schneider, Fernanda; Holanda Filho, Ivan de Oliveira; Cruz, Marcos Paulo Mesquita da Abstract: The food industry plays a significant role in the global economy, society, and environment, and in Brazil, the agri-food sector is fundamental to the GDP. M. Dias Branco, a national leader in pasta and biscuits, contributes significantly to the economy and job creation. This study evaluated the company's efficiency between 2010 and 2022, using financial data and the methodology of Debastiane and Russo. Profitability, liquidity, debt, market, and risk indicators were analyzed. The results indicated a reduction in the gross margin due to increased production costs, which affected net profit. Liquidity was adequate for most of the period, but debt increased, revealing greater reliance on external resources. Market indicators showed a decline, aligned with the decrease in profitability. The price-to-earnings ratio increased, suggesting a longer time for return on investment. Despite the limited ability to generate earnings per share, the shares appreciated, supported by a stable dividend policy and positive Dividend Yield. The company faced challenges such as a drop in profitability, increased debt, and a higher perception of short-term risk. However, compared to the Ibovespa index, it demonstrated security over the long term. A detailed review of production costs, debt renegotiation, and continuous monitoring of market indicators are recommended. Tipo: Artigo de Periódico

Título: Ensaios sobre pobreza no Brasil Autor(es): Loayza, Ana Cecilia Vasconcelos Abstract: The overall objective of this thesis is to analyze poverty in Brazil from an integrated approach, combining the construction of a multidimensional poverty index with the investigation of individual, household, and contextual determinants of poverty, from both a monetary and multidimensional perspective. The study consisted of three essays. The first aimed to construct a multidimensional poverty index for the years 2019 and 2023, based on the methodology of Alkire and Foster (2011), and to analyze the situation of deprivations using subgroup decompositions and a temporal analysis based on Shapley decompositions grounded in Roche's proposal (2013). The results indicate a decrease in multidimensional poverty in the country during the analyzed period and highlight the unequal distribution of deprivations faced by the poor in different regions and population subgroups. The second essay aimed to investigate the determinants at individual and contextual levels of monetary and multidimensional poverty in Brazil, based on the application of the multilevel logistic regression method. Data aggregated by geographic strata were used to analyze contextual determinants, allowing the identification of the extent to which the risk of poverty is associated with differences between these locations. The results highlight the importance of contextual factors in determining poverty; furthermore, it was observed that the effects are differentiated for rural and urban areas. The objective of the third essay was to investigate the individual and contextual factors specifically associated with rural poverty, measured using the extreme poverty indicator, emphasizing the role of nonagricultural occupation in poverty reduction. This study also applied a multilevel logistic regression model in conjunction with data from geographic strata. The results indicate that in structurally poorer strata, non-agricultural work plays an important role in mitigating poverty. Tipo: Tese
