Abstract

Este artigo analisa o processo de implantação da agricultura orgânica em assentamentos de reforma agrária, ainda recente no Brasil, e que trouxe consigo uma rápida transformação para a agricultura familiar. Procura analisar a contribuição da agricultura orgânica como alternativa de sustentabilidade sócio- econômica e ambiental da produção e entender o processo de reforma agrária brasileira e suas dificuldades, mostrando os possíveis caminhos para o agricultor assentado agregar valor à produção e se inserir em uma economia de mercado. Além do que, analisa os impactos identificados na elevação da renda familiar e melhoria nas condições de vida. Procurou-se analisar o caso do assentamento Ronda/Chico Mendes, no município de Pombos, em Pernambuco. A pesquisa constou de entrevistas e aplicação de questionários aos assentados, que levantou informações sobre a produção do assentamento e outros aspectos relevantes, a exemplo da implementação da produção orgânica e conseqüente comercialização desses produtos. Observou-se que quase a metade dos assentados vivia com menos de R$200,00 por mês, e hoje com as feiras orgânicas apenas 5% vive com uma renda inferior a R$200,00. O maior acréscimo observado foi no percentual de assentados que possuía uma renda de R$300,00 a menos de R$400,00. 19% dos agricultores entrevistados passaram a ter uma renda de mais de R$500,00 por mês, o que não acontecia nem antes nem depois da criação do assentamento. Os agricultores que possuem uma renda superior a 1 salário mínimo representam 81%. No estudo de caso apresentado verifica-se o quanto é promissora a agricultura orgânica nos assentamentos, em termos da sua contribuição para fixação do homem ao campo e da geração de renda para os assentados de reforma agrária. -------------------------------------------------------------------------This article analyzes the process of implantation of organic agriculture in nestings of agrarian reform, still recent in Brazil, that brought a fast transformation for familiar agriculture. We intend to analyze the contribution of the organic agriculture as alternative of social, economic an environmental sustainability of the agricultural production and to understand the process of Brazilian agrarian reform and its difficulties, showing the possible ways for the small farmers to add value to the production and to insert themselves in a market economy. Beside one analyzes the impacts identified in the rise of the familiar income and improvement in the life conditions. It was looked to analyze the case of the Ronda/Chico Mendes nesting, in the city of Pombos, Pernambuco state/Brazil. The research consisted of interviews and application of questionnaires to the small farmers, in order to obtain information on the nesting production and other aspects, as the implementation of the organic production and consequent commercialization of these products. It was observed that almost the half of the small farmers lived with less of R$200,00 for month, and today with organic fairs only 5% lives with an income below to R$200,00. The biggest observed addition was in the percentage of farmers that earned an income of R$300,00 to less of R$400,00. 19% of the interviewed farmers with the organic products began to earn an income of R$500,00 for month, what it did not happen neither at that time nor afterwards of the creation of the nesting. The small farmers who possess a superior income the 1 minimum wage represent 81%. In the study of presented case we could verify how much organic agriculture in the nesting is promising, in terms of its contribution for setting of the man to the field and the generation of income for the small farmers of agrarian reform.
