Viabilité des microfermes maraîchères biologiques. Une étude inductive combinant méthodes qualitatives et modélisation. / Viability of organic market gardening microfarms. An inductive study combining qualitative methods and modelling.

Morel, Kevin 15 December 2016 (has links)
Dans le contexte des défis environnementaux et sociaux de l’Anthropocène, les microfermes sont des fermes maraîchères biologiques qui questionnent les fondements de la modernisation agricole par leurs petites surfaces, leur grande diversité cultivée, leur faible niveau de motorisation, une approche écologique holiste et leur commercialisation en circuits courts. Cette thèse a examiné la viabilité de ces systèmes agricoles atypiques qui suscitent un intérêt croissant dans les pays industrialisés. Elle s’est basée sur une étude de 20 cas en milieu rural dans le nord de la France et 10 cas en milieu urbain à Londres. Une démarche inductive a été mise en œuvre combinant analyse qualitative d’entretiens avec des paysans et modélisation quantitative à partir de données de terrain. Un cadre conceptuel a été développé pour analyser les choix stratégiques des paysans au regard des multiples aspirations de leur projet de vie où des considérations éthiques et subjectives occupent une place centrale. La satisfaction de ces aspirations est primordiale pour la viabilité de ces fermes. Un modèle de simulation stochastique de revenu et de temps de travail a été créé pour explorer les chances de viabilité économique de scénarios contrastés de microfermes intégrant stratégies techniques, commerciales et d’investissement. Des simulations ont été réalisées pour le contexte français et londonien et ont été discutées avec des acteurs de terrain. Bien que les chances de viabilité varient selon les scénarios, ce travail montre que les microfermes peuvent être viables. / In the context of the environmental and social challenges of the Anthropocene, microfarms are organic market gardens which are questioning the principles of agricultural modernisation. They are characterised by a high level of crop diversity on small acreages, low motorisation, holistic ecological approach and marketing through short supply chains. My PhD work examined the viability of these atypical farming systems which are raising an increasing interest in industrialised countries. It was based on the study of 20 cases in rural Northern France and 10 cases in the urban context of London. An inductive approach was carried out combining qualitative analysis of interviews with farmers and quantitative modelling based on field data.A conceptual framework was developed to analyse farmers’ strategic choices in the light of their life project embracing various aspirations where ethics and subjectivity played a central role. The fulfilment of these aspirations is determinant for the viability of these fams. A stochastic simulation model of income and workload was created to explore the chances of economic viability of contrasted microfarms scenarios integrating technical, commercial and investment strategies. Simulations were run for the French and London context and were discussed with stakeholders. Although viability chances vary among scenarios, this work shows that microfarms can be viable.

Achieving Food System Resilience Requires Challenging Dominant Land Property Regimes

Calo, Adam, McKee, Annie, Perrin, Coline, Gasselin, Pierre, McGreevy, Steven, Sippel, Sarah Ruth, Desmarais, Annette Aurélie, Shields, Kirsteen, Baysse-Lainé, Adrien, Magnan, André, Beingessner, Naomi, Kobayashi, Mai 30 March 2023 (has links)
Although evidence continues to indicate an urgent need to transition food systems away from industrialized monocultures and toward agroecological production, there is little sign of significant policy commitment toward food system transformation in global North geographies. The authors, a consortium of researchers studying the land-food nexus in global North geographies, argue that a key lock-in explaining the lack of reform arises from how most food system interventions work through dominant logics of property to achieve their goals of agroecological production. Doing so fails to recognize how land tenure systems, codified by law and performed by society, construct agricultural land use outcomes. In this perspective, the authors argue that achieving food system “resilience” requires urgent attention to the underlying property norms that drive land access regimes, especially where norms of property appear hegemonic. This paper first reviews research from political ecology, critical property law, and human geography to show how entrenched property relations in the global North frustrate the advancement of alternative models like food sovereignty and agroecology, and work to mediate acceptable forms of “sustainable agriculture.” Drawing on emerging cases of land tenure reform from the authors’ collective experience working in Scotland, France, Australia, Canada, and Japan, we next observe how contesting dominant logics of property creates space to forge deep and equitable food system transformation. Equally, these cases demonstrate how powerful actors in the food system attempt to leverage legal and cultural norms of property to legitimize their control over the resources that drive agricultural production. Our formulation suggests that visions for food system “resilience” must embrace the reform of property relations as much as it does diversified farming practices. This work calls for a joint cultural and legal reimagination of our relation to land in places where property functions as an epistemic and apex entitlement.

Relations entre structures de peuplement végétal et bioagresseurs de la culture principale dans les agroforêts tropicales. Application aux agroforêts à cacaoyers et à 3 bioagresseurs : la moniliose (Moniliophthora roreri) au Costa Rica, la pourriture brune (Phytophthora megakarya) et les mirides (Sahlbergellasingularis) au Cameroun. / Relationship between vegetation structure and pest and disease in tropical agroforests. Application to cocoa agroforest and Frosty Pod Rot (Moniliophthora roreri) in Costa Rica and Black Pod (Phytophthora megakarya) and Mirid (Sahlbergellasingularis) in Cameroon.

La valeur potentielle des agro-forêts tropicales comme modèle d'intensification écologique de l'agriculture est un sujet d'intérêt croissant. Les agro-forêts tropicales sont des agroécosystèmes caractérisés par une forte diversité végétale et une diversité d'organisation spatiale des individus. Les structures complexes de ces agroécosystèmes en font des systèmes « proches » des écosystèmes naturels. Cette complexité améliorerait la fourniture de nombreux services écosystémiques. Dans ce travail, nous nous sommes intéressés au service de régulation naturelle des bio-agresseurs des cultures. Notre hypothèse est que la complexité de structure (composition et structure spatiale) des agro-forêts influence la présence et l'intensité d'attaque des bio-agresseurs de la culture principale. En effet, l'augmentation de la diversité végétale à l'échelle de la parcelle diminuerait l'intensité d'attaque de bio-agresseurs spécialistes via la diminution de l'abondance de la ressource. Inversement, cette diversité amplifierait celle des bio-agresseurs généralistes via l'introduction potentielle d'hôtes alternatifs. Une diversité de structures spatiales d'individus associés est aussi susceptible d'influencer le microclimat et par son biais les bio-agresseurs des cultures. Pourtant, l'importance relative de l'effet de la composition (via la dilution ou l'amplification de la ressource) et de la structure spatiale (via l'altération du microclimat) du peuplement végétal sur l'intensité d'attaque de bio-agresseurs a rarement été étudiée. L'objectif de ce travail est de quantifier les interactions entre les caractéristiques de composition et de structure spatiale du peuplement végétal d'agroécosystèmes complexes et l'intensité d'attaque de bio-agresseurs de la culture principale à l'échelle de la parcelle. Ce travail est appliqué aux agro-forêts à cacaoyers du Costa Rica et du Cameroun. En effet, la culture du cacaoyer est l'une des rares encore réalisée traditionnellement au sein d'agro-forêts dans la majorité des pays producteurs. Nous nous intéresserons à trois bio-agresseurs du cacaoyer choisis pour leurs caractéristiques de dissémination et de développement contrastées : au Costa Rica, la moniliose sur un réseau de parcelles installées dans la région de Talamanca ; au Cameroun la pourriture brune et les mirides sur un réseau de parcelles installées dans la région Centre. Dans un premier temps nous avons construit des typologies descriptives des structures spatiales des agro-forêts à cacaoyers du Costa Rica et du Cameroun afin d'identifier la variabilité des structures spatiale des agro-forêts au sein d'une même région. Ces typologies ont permis d'identifier des structures spatiales horizontales variées allant de la régularité à l'agrégation significatives des arbres d'ombrage selon les pays étudiés. Dans un deuxième temps nous avons identifié et hiérarchisé les caractéristiques de composition et de structure spatiale à l'échelle de la parcelle agroforestière qui influencent l'intensité d'attaque de la moniliose au Costa Rica ; et de la pourriture brune et des mirides au Cameroun. La structure spatiale du peuplement végétal joue un rôle prépondérant dans l'ensemble de nos résultats. L'agrégation des arbres forestiers augmente l'intensité d'attaque de la moniliose au Costa Rica et la densité des mirides au Cameroun. La pourriture brune quant à elle augmente lorsque la densité des individus de la strate basse augmente à l'échelle de la parcelle. Pour finir, nous montrons que la quantité de tissus sensible plutôt que la composition en hôte explique l'intensité de la moniliose et la densité en miride. Ces résultats sont discutés en fonction des nombreux mécanismes qui relient la structure de la végétation aux bio-agresseurs et des caractéristiques de ces bio-agresseurs. Notre travail fournit une description précise de la structure d'agro-écosystèmes tropicaux complexes. / The potential value of tropical agroforests as a model for ecological intensification of agriculture is a subject of increasing interest. Tropical agroforests are agroecosystems characterized by high plant diversity and a complex spatial structure of individuals. With their forest-like structures, agroforests are close to natural ecosystems. The complex structure of agroforests would seem to improve the provision of numerous ecosystem services.This work concerned natural pest and disease regulation services in complex agroecosystems. Our hypothesis was that complex agroforest structures (composition and spatial structure) influence the pest and disease attack intensity on the main crop. Indeed, an increase in plant diversity in agroecosystems is known to reduce specialized pest and disease attack intensity due to a decrease in resource abundance and density on a plot scale. Conversely, plant diversity could increase the generalist pest and disease attack intensity due to the potential introduction of alternative hosts. Moreover, diversity in plant spatial structure has an impact on microclimatic conditions and, thereby, on the pest and disease attack intensity. However, the relative importance of host composition effects on pest and disease intensity, due to resource dilution or amplification, and plant spatial structure effects, due to microclimatic alteration, is still unknown.Our objective was to quantify interactions between the composition and spatial structure characteristics of agroforests and the pest and disease attack intensity on a plot scale.This work was applied to cacao agroforests in Costa Rica and Cameroon. Indeed, cacao is one of the last crops still to be grown in traditional agroforests in the majority of producing countries. The study was conducted on two cacao diseases and one pest chosen for their contrasting spread and development characteristics: in Costa Rica, Frosty Pod Rot (FPR) intensity was studied in cacao agroforests in the Talamanca region; in Cameroon, Black Pod (BP) intensity and mirid density were studied in cacao agroforests in the Centre region.Firstly, we established shade tree spatial structure typologies for cacao agroforests in Costa Rica and Cameroon, in order to identify spatial structure diversity in the same region. A diversity of spatial structures was identified ranging from significant regularity to significant aggregation, depending on the shade tree stand and country studied.Secondly, we identified and classified the host composition, amount of sensitive tissue and the spatial structure characteristics of the associated plants, according to their explanatory power in explaining FPR intensity, BP intensity and mirid density in cacao agroforests. The spatial structure of the associated plants was a crucial characteristic of agroforests in explaining FPR and BP intensity and mirid density. Indeed, forest tree regularity decreased FPR intensity in Costa Rica and mirid density in Cameroon. The BP intensity was reduced by a decrease in the density of individuals belonging to strata lower than or equal to the cacao tree stratum. Lastly, the amount of sensitive tissue rather than the host composition variables explained the increase in FPR intensity in Costa Rica and the mirid density in Cameroon. Our results are discussed in line with several mechanisms that explain plant diversity and pest and disease relationships.Our work provides a precise description of complex tropical agroecosystem structures. We quantified the relationship between observed plant structures and the pest and disease regulation ecosystem service. In the context of agroecology, this work opens up prospects for identifying and understanding ecological mechanisms involved in natural pest and disease regulation in cacao agroforests on a plot scale.

Méthodologie de la sélection décentralisée et participative : un exemple sur le blé tendre / Methodology of decentralized participatory plant breeding : example on bread wheat

Riviere, Pierre 15 January 2014 (has links)
L’agroécologie a des attentes fortes en termes de recherche sur les concepts et sur les méthodes de sélection et de gestion de la diversité. En effet, la prise en compte de la diversité des environnements et des pratiques spécifiques à chaque système agroécologique appelle des approches plus décentralisées, c’est à dire une meilleure prise en compte des interactions génotype × environnement, et associant les savoirs empiriques des praticiens aux connaissances scientifiques.L’objectif de cette thèse est de développer une méthodologie de la sélection participative pour le blé tendre, basée sur la décentralisation et la co-construction entre paysans, associations du Réseau Semences Paysannes et chercheurs de l’équipe DEAP de l’INRA du Moulon. Cette approche vise à créer des variétés-populations adaptées aux environnements et aux pratiques des paysans, à développer des méthodes et des outils opérationnels pour la gestion et la sélection de la biodiversité cultivée à la ferme et à renforcer l’apprentissage et l’autonomie des paysans en matière de sélection.Ce travail a contribué à atteindre ces objectifs, notamment les deux derniers, en se basant sur une approche interdisciplinaire dans les champs de la statistique, génétique quantitative, génétique des populations, bio-informatique et sociologie.Les objectifs ont été en partie atteints avec la création de méthodes et d’outils : fiches de suivi de la culture, base de données permettant de gérer les relations entre lots de semences dans un large réseau d’acteurs, dispositifs expérimentaux à la ferme et méthodes statistiques permettant de prendre en compte le déséquilibre des essais à la ferme, en profitant du large réseau d’expérimentation, afin de réaliser des comparaisons de moyennes dans les fermes et d’analyser les interactions génotype × environnement dans le réseau de fermes, programme informatique qui permet de créer un dossier avec des résultats personnalisés pour chaque paysan, livret technique sur la sélection participative.Une analyse moléculaire et phénotypique montre que le programme de sélection participative s’insère dans la gestion in-situ des ressources génétiques par la création de nouvelles variétés-populations et par leur gestion dans un large réseau de fermes regroupant une grande diversité d’environnements et de pratiques.Les paysans ont renforcé leur apprentissage et leur autonomie. Ils étaient acteurs du programme et leurs pratiques ont évolué avec, par exemple, un nombre croissant de populations évaluées sur le réseau, de sélections et d’échanges de semences entre paysans au fur et à mesure que le projet avançait.Deux innovations émergent de ce projet : organisationnelle et génétique. L’innovation organisationnelle correspond au mode de fonctionnement du projet, basé sur la décentralisation de la sélection directement dans les fermes et la co-construction entre les acteurs et leur mise en réseau. Les innovations génétiques découlent de ce mode d’organisation : une large diversité génétique et phénotypique a été créée, est maintenue et évaluée dans les fermes et de nouvelles variétés populations, issues du programme, sont utilisées par des paysans dans leurs fermes.La méthodologie que nous avons développée est évolutive, flexible et adaptable. Elle place les paysans au coeur de la sélection et de la gestion des ressources génétiques. Ce projet participe à la transition vers un nouveau système semencier adapté à l’agroécologie / Taking into account the diversity of environment and practices to each agroecological system needs decentralized approaches, which means taking into account genotype environment interactions, and associate empirical knowledge from practitioners to scientific knowledge from researchers.The objectives of this PhD is to develop a participatory plant breeding methodology on bread wheat, based on decentralization and co-construction between farmers, NGOs and reasearch team DEAP from INRA Le Moulon.This approach aims to create population-varieties adapted to environments and farmers' practices, to develop methods and tools for breeding and cultivated biodiversity management and to reinforce learning and autonomy of farmers for breeding.This work contributed to reach these objectives, especially the last two, based on an interdisciplinary approach in statistics, quantitative genetic, populations genetic, bio-informatic and sociology.Objectives were partly reach with creation of methods and tools : monitoring sheet of the crop, data base which manage relation between seed lots in a large network of actors, experimental design on farm and statistical methods that take into account the disequilibrium of trials on farm, taking advantage of the large network, in order to make mean comparisons on farm and analyse genotype x environments interactions in the network of farms, software which create a folder with personalised results for each farmer, technical booklet on participatory plan t breeding.A phenotypic and molecular analysis shows that the programme takes part in in-situ management of genetic resources by creating new population-varieties and their management in a broad network of farms.Moreover, farmers reinforce their learning and their autonomy. They were actors of the programme and their practices evolved with, for example, an increasing number of populations evaluated on the network, of selection, of seed exchange between farmers as the project go on.Two innovations emerged from this project : organisational and genetic. The organisational innovation correspond to the way the project worked, based on decentralisation of the selection directly on farms and co-construction between actors and their networked. Genetic innovations are the consequence of this organisation : a brad genetic and phenotypic diversity has been created, and maintain and evaluated on farms and new population-varieties, coming from the project, are used by farmers on their farms.The methodology that we developed is evolutive, flexible and adaptable. It put farmers in the heart of selection and biodiversity management. This project contribute to a transition toward a new seed system adapted to agroecology.

Desempenho e produtividade de milho em consórcio com adubos verdes em sistema orgânico de produção / Performance and yield of maize intercropped with green manures under organic cultivation

Telhado, Samuel Filipe Pelicano e 18 February 2008 (has links)
A crescente necessidade de alimentos objetivando a satisfação da nutrição animal em sistemas orgânicos, aliado ao recente mercado mundial desse tipo de produtos, tem suscitado a elevada preocupação com o aperfeiçoamento de sistemas orgânicos, incluindo a produção de milho. Assim, neste contexto, foi realizado no município de Piracicaba, SP, Brasil, em área pertencente à Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz/Universidade de São Paulo, um experimento de campo objetivando a avaliação do desempenho e produtividade de milho consorciado a adubos verdes, em sistema orgânico de produção. Para tanto, foram utilizados dois genótipos, um híbrido (Pioneer 30P70) e uma variedade (BRS4157 Sol-da-manhã), consorciados a duas espécies de adubos verdes (Crotalaria juncea e Canavalia ensiformis) e submetidos a doses crescentes de nitrogênio, mediante o uso de farinha de chifre, perfazendo o total de 18 tratamentos e 3 repetições. O delineamento adotado foi o esquema fatorial 3X9, em blocos ao acaso, envolvendo a interação de genótipos, adubos verdes e doses de nitrogênio. A análise dos resultados, permitiu concluir que: a)o híbrido Pioneer 30P70 é mais produtivo e apropriado para sistemas orgânicos de produção, com o uso de fontes de nitrogênio, em comparação à variedade Sol-da-manhã; b)A variedade Sol-da-manhã não responde satisfatoriamente ao emprego de doses crescentes de nitrogênio, representadas pelo uso de farinha de chifre;c)A farinha de chifre não contribui, de forma imediata, para a elevação dos teores de nitrogênio nas plantas de milho, até os níveis considerados adequados para a espécie; d)Sistemas consorciados de milho com crotalaria (Crotalaria juncea) ou feijão-de-porco (Canavalia ensiformis) não afetam a produtividade do mencionado cereal e e) As espécies de adubos verdes avaliadas não contribuem significativamente para o aporte de nitrogênio às plantas de milho a eles associadas, durante o ciclo vital do referido cereal. / The increasing need for feed to fulfill animal nutritional requirements in organic systems, besides the increasing world demand for organic products, has raised a concern about the improvement of organic systems, including maize production. Within this context, an experiment aiming at evaluating the performance and yield of corn intercropped with green manures in an organic production system was carried out in Piracicaba, SP, Brazil at the Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz / University of Sao Paulo. Two maize genotypes were tested, a hybrid (Pioneer 30P70) and a variety (BRS4157 Sol-da-manhã), both intercropped with two green manure species (Crotalaria juncea and Canavalia ensiformis) and submitted to increasing N doses by horn meal, adding up to 18 treatments and 3 replicates. The plot design was factorial 3x9, in randomized blocks involving the genotypes interaction, the green manures and nitrogen doses. The results analysis allowed the following conclusions: a) When fertilized with N sources, the hybrid Pioneer 30P70 is more productive and more suitable for organic systems compared to the variety Sol-da-manhã; b) the variety Sol-da-manhã does not have a response to increasing N fertilization; c) the horn meal does not contributes immediately to the increasing amount of N in maize plants up to the nutritional level suitable for the species; d) the intercropping systems between maize and sun hemp (Crotalaria juncea) or jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis) do not affect the cereal yield and e) the evaluated green manures species do not significantly contribute with the N supply of the associated maize plants during its life cycle.

A influência da biodiversidade florestal na ocorrência de insetos-praga e doenças em cultivos de tomate no município de Apiaí-SP / The influence of forest biodiversity in the occurrence of insect pests and diseases in tomato crops in the municipality of Apiaí-SP

Tomas, Fabio Leonardo 13 January 2011 (has links)
A Mata Atlântica (MA) é um dos ambientes naturais mais ameaçados do Brasil, tendo sua área original atualmente bastante reduzida pelas ações antrópicas. As atividades agrícolas estão incluídas entre os fatores de impacto a este Bioma; e inserida na área de domínio da MA está a região de Apiaí - SP, produtora de tomate (Solanum lycopersicum L.) de mesa, uma cultura caracterizada pela sua importância alimentar, e responsável por significativos impactos socioambientais devido ao uso de agroquímicos, desmatamentos e más condições de trabalho. Devido à infestação por insetos-praga e às ocorrências de doenças agrícolas, esta cultura é considerada uma das mais exigentes em tratos culturais necessitando pulverizações constantes e uso geral de agroquímicos. Este trabalho busca ampliar o conhecimento sobre as funções que a biodiversidade florestal pode ter como um instrumento para auxiliar o manejo agrícola de insetos fitófagos e doenças em cultivos de tomate de mesa. No município de Apiai - SP, entre 2008 e 2010, foram instalados 5 módulos experimentais de cultivo de tomate em manejo agroecológico no modelo de Ilhas de Alta Produtividade (IAPs), em locais onde a biodiversidade florestal é um elemento presente no entorno. Em cada módulo de cultivo, foram analisados: a biodiversidade florestal no entorno até uma distância de 300 m nos sentidos N, S, L, O; a ocorrência de insetos-praga e doenças agrícolas e a viabilidade econômica e socioambiental. Os resultados foram comparados aos mesmos dados coletados de outros 5 cultivos convencionais da mesma região ecológica, que cultivaram variedades semelhantes, no mesmo período, em ambientes com menor biodiversidade florestal nativa em seu entorno. Os módulos experimentais de cultivo agroecológico demonstraram uma área media de cobertura Florestal Atlântica em torno de 43,82%%, com uma ocorrência media de 46 espécies arbóreas nativas com Índice de Biodiversidade Florestal de 3,87; os cultivos comparativos apresentaram áreas médias de cobertura florestal em seu entorno de 31,34 %, com uma ocorrência de 26 espécies arbóreas nativas e índice de biodiversidade florestal de 3,44. Em amostras de 20 plantas de tomate por cultivo, nas áreas experimentais, não foram identificadas a ocorrência de viroses, uma única espécies causadora de doença fúngica e um total de 4 espécies de insetos-praga foram identificadas. Os produtores convencionais comparados tiveram a ocorrência de 11 espécies de doenças fúngicas e bacterianas, com 7% de ocorrência de viroses e 7 espécies de insetos fitófagos. Os dados mostraram que existe relação da biodiversidade florestal com o número de espécies de insetos-praga nos cultivos. Em uma análise de viabilidade socioambiental entre os cultivos experimentais e comparativos, foi identificada uma maior taxa de risco, investimento, produtividade, volume de produção, e prejuízos financeiros, bem como maiores impactos ambientais e sociais entre os cultivos de tomate convencionais comparativos. Os modelos experimentais com biodiversidade florestal em seu entorno se mostraram viáveis social e ambientalmente para utilização prática na agricultura familiar na região de Apiai - SP. / The neotropical Atlantic Rain Forest (MA) is one of the most threatened natural environments of Brazil, with its original area now greatly reduced by human actions. Agricultural activities are included among the impact factors in this biome, and inserted in the area with the MA is the region of Apiaí - SP producer of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) table, a culture characterized by its nutritional importance and also responsible for significant environmental impacts due to the use of agrochemicals, deforestation and poor working conditions. Due to infestation by insect pests and plant diseases this crop is considered one of the most demanding in cultivation requirements such as constant spraying and general use of agrochemicals. This work seeks to expand the knowledge about the functions that forest biodiversity can perform as a tool to assist the cultivation control in the control of phytophagous insects and diseases in tomato crop. In the district of Apiaí - SP, from 2008 to 2010, five modules have been installed for experimental cultivation of tomato in the agroecologic model called Islands of High Productivity (IAPs), in places where forest biodiversity is an element current around. The biodiversity in the surrounding forest to a distance of 300 m in the directions N, S, E, W, the occurrence of insect pests and diseases and also the economic viability and environmental impact were analyzed in each module of cultivation. The results were compared to the same data collected from five other conventional crops in the same ecological region which cultivated similar varieties in the same period in environments with less native forest biodiversity in their environment. The experimental agroecologic modules showed an average area of Atlantic Forest cover around 43.82%, with an average occurrence of 46 native tree species and forest biodiversity indices of 3.87; the conventional modules had 31.34% of atlantic forest cover, with an occurrence of 26 native tree species and forest biodiversity indices of 3.44. In the experimental areas, with sampling of 20 tomato plants/ cultivation, were not identified any occurrence of viruses but only a single species causing fungal disease and a total of four species of insect pests. The conventional producers had the occurrence of 11 species of fungal and bacterial diseases, with 7% occurrence of viruses and 7 species of phytophagous insects. The data showed that there are relationship of forest biodiversity and number of species of insect pests in crops. In analysis of economic and socio-environmental viabilities between the experimental and comparative cultivations, it was identified a higher rate of risk, investment, productivity, production volume and financial losses, as well as higher environmental and social impacts of the conventional tomato cultivations. The agroecologic experimental models with higher forest biodiversity around have proved being socially and environmentally viable for practical use in family farming in the region of Apiai - SP.

Políticas Públicas agroecológicas para comunidades quilombolas: um estudo de caso a partir do território / Public Policies for agroecological maroon communities: a case study from the territory

Silva, Rafael Jose Navas da 08 August 2014 (has links)
Com a Constituição Federal do Brasil de 1988, as comunidades remanescentes de quilombos adquiriram direito legal às áreas tradicionalmente ocupadas e o Estado passou a implementar Políticas Públicas visando seu desenvolvimento. Estas Políticas atualmente têm como foco a agroecologia, no sentido de manejo ecológico dos recursos naturais por meio de ação social coletiva. Porém, mesmo os projetos com tal enfoque não têm alcançado os resultados esperados, priorizando apenas a substituição de insumos sintéticos e práticas degradadoras. Considerou-se que o território pode ser um importante instrumento de análise de projetos de agroecologia e que projetos agroecológicos que abrangem as diferentes perspectivas do território têm maiores chances de resultados efetivos para comunidades quilombolas. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os Projetos Agroecológicos desenvolvidos na comunidade quilombola Mandira, em Cananéia/SP/Brasil. O trabalho foi realizado entre 2011 e 2014 através de técnicas qualitativas, com entrevistas, observação participante, história oral e análise de documentos. Os projetos analisados foram os relativos à criação da Reserva Extrativista do Mandira e manejo de recursos marinhos, e à implantação de sistemas agroflorestais. O projeto de manejo de recursos marinhos proporcionou inicialmente maior sustentabilidade à atividade e agregação de valor a partir da criação de uma Cooperativa, porém tem mostrado indícios de redução dos estoques naturais, segundo a percepção dos moradores, além da especialização na atividade e redução da produção para autoconsumo. O projeto de sistemas agroflorestais, de abrangência territorial, proporcionou maior diversidade de produtos, tanto para consumo quanto para comercialização, realizada em uma feira agroecológica. As famílias que trabalham com manejo de recursos marinhos possuem maior dependência do mercado, tanto para comercialização, quanto para obtenção de alimentos, diferentemente do outro projeto, que proporcionou maior autonomia, formação de capital social e alimentação saudável. Esses resultados podem confirmar a hipótese de que a perspectiva territorial se constitui um importante instrumento de avaliação de Projetos e também pode contribuir na implementação de ações de Políticas Públicas agroecológicas. / With the Federal Constitution of Brazil of 1988 the remaining maroon communities acquired statutory right to traditionally occupied areas and the Govern started to implement Public Policies aimed at their development. These policies currently are focused on agroecology, in the sense of ecological management of natural resources through collective social action. However, even projects with this approach have not achieved the expected results, just prioritizing the substitution of synthetic inputs and degrading practices. Whereas that the territorial approach involves endogenous and exogenous issues of the relationship between the community and the society, and would offer a greater opportunity of success in the implemented agroecological actions, the objective of this study was to evaluate Public Policies in Mandira maroon community in Cananéia, São Paulo State, Brazil, on these two different perspectives, agroecological and territorial. The study was conducted between 2011 and 2014 using qualitative techniques, including interviews, participant observation, oral history and document analysis. The analyzed projects were those concerning to the establishment of the Mandira Extractive Reserve and management of marine resources, and the implementation of agroforestry systems. The management project of marine resources initially provided greater sustainability to activity and adding value through the creation of a Cooperative, but it has shown signs of stock reduction, as perceived by residents, besides the specialization in the activity and reduction of production for self-consumption. The project of territorial coverage agroforestry systems, provided greater diversity of products, both for consumption and for sale, held in an agroecological fair. Families working with the marine resources management have greater dependence on the market, either for marketing as for obtaining food, unlike the other project, which provided greater autonomy, social capital formation and healthy eating, indicating that the territorial approach in Public Policy agroecological actions can contribute to more effective and sustainable results.

Partindo dos estudos já desenvolvidos sobre o tema, a presente pesquisa busca conhecer o percurso de jovens egressos do curso de Ensino Médio em Agroecologia da Escola 25 de Maio, localizada no Assentamento Vitória da Conquista, Fraiburgo/SC, o qual tem o MST como principal protagonista. O problema norteador desta pesquisa foi compreender de que forma o contexto atual do campo influencia os percursos de egressos do referido curso em relação à permanência ou não no campo, ao trabalho e à continuidade dos estudos. Os procedimentos utilizados foram a aplicação de um questionário semiestruturado aos egressos da turma formada em 2009, entrevistas semiestruturadas a quatro egressos e análise do Projeto Político Pedagógico da Escola 25 de Maio. Para a análise do que aqui se configura um estudo de caso, são utilizados os conceitos de Educação do Campo, de Roseli Caldart, sustentabilidade, de Stahel e trabalho e educação de Marx e Engels. Os resultados da pesquisa confirmam a nossa hipótese, revelando que a proposta de Ensino Médio da Escola 25 de Maio é avançada em relação à realidade atual do campo, pois apontam que a falta de uma política efetiva de Reforma Agrária, em detrimento da opção do Estado brasileiro pelo agronegócio, dificulta a permanência dos jovens egressos no campo e o exercício da profissão de técnico em agroecologia. Com isso, os jovens acabam migrando para a cidade em busca de empregos para custear os estudos e, muitas vezes, ajudar a compor a renda familiar
