Trajetórias da sucessão familiar rural : um olhar sobre as memórias dos/das agricultores (as) familiares camponeses (as) no município de Passo do Sobrado-RS-Brasil.

Abstract

This dissertation seeks to address the trajectories of rural family succession, based on the analysis of the memories of peasant family farmers in relation to the process of rural family succession in the municipality of Passo do Sobrado, RS/Brazil. The approach method used was oral history. The Green Revolution and the process of modernizing agriculture led to the development of new technologies that provided greater efficiency in agricultural production, significantly increasing food production. However, world hunger was not resolved, displacing the humanitarian discourse of increasing production. Of food to end hunger in developing countries. And it also caused a very strong exodus in rural Brazil. Furthermore, causing harm to environment. This agricultural model is unsustainable for rural development and the way to overcome it goes through the process of rural family succession. Rural family succession must be considered an important and vital stage for the survival of peasant family farmers. This transmission of ownership, management and dynamization of the production unit increasingly requires qualification of successors, projects that guarantee technical-administrative viability, its sustainability and public policies suited to the real possibilities and needs of this social category, which involves thousands of young people. Among the countless studies that deal with the theme of rural family succession, the vast majority cite the succession process as a key point in the social reproduction and perpetuation of peasant family properties.
