Inovações tecnológicas e trabalho intensificado na cadeia produtiva da soja em Ijuí/RS.

Abstract

The study discusses the impacts caused by the use of technology in Soybean Production Chain (SPC) Ijui/RS, taking into consideration changes that "modernization" in agriculture brought to this city. Front driving certain production processes, it is observed that in the present context, these has undergone significant changes both in thinking how to act when taking into account the contribution of technology to both. For proof that the technology demands more work in terms of specific objectives, initially sought to (a) identify and analyze the timeframe of the insertion of soybean and its evolution in space occupation agricultural municipality of Ijui (RS). It was then (b) characterized this oilseed production chain, to be identified in the organizational environment present configuration of the different actors and the relationships established between them. Armed with such information, this made (c) analysis of technological and organizational interfering in the functioning of two specific links - production and processing - the CPS. The next part focused on (d) analysis of how these changes have impacted on employment and work in different but interrelated sectors (agriculture and industry) thereof. In terms of methodological procedures, as regards the method and technical approach, they were based on Triviños (1987) and Gil (2002). It was, therefore, a dialectical study with verification of social praxis, or be, exercising a reflection on the activities that men perform. As for social agents selected, 56 were questioned soybean producers, company managers interviewed two SOY S / A and still carried questionnaire with 33 employees of the same organization. Within the practical analysis on the changes in agriculture, based on authors as Aguiar (1986), Gehlen (1998, 2004) and Balsani (2009), among others found that owners of soybean crops are intended both a biggest addition of chemicals such as more time for planning because of the replacement of hand labor by machinery, technology practical results. With a focus on urban work related to CPS and relying on the understanding of how authors Dal Rosso (2008), Pochmann (2010; 2007; 2002) and Antunes (2009), among other scholars, it was found that the degree of presence of intensity work in the company studied was expressed by shifts, random and prolonged, confirming the hypothesis that the insertion of technology generates more work to the employee. Performed such specific steps had as yet as ultimate purpose (e) summarize the elements that express why the insertion of new technologies and their impact on daily life of both soybean producers and workers in the industrial segment and connected to the Production Chain of Soy at Ijui/RS, an integral part of society living labor.
