Abstract:
From the 1990s begins to become hegemonic in Brazil, a new focus in public policies for rural development, which is characterized by the integration of production of rural families in the market, through programs established by the Public Policy for Agriculture Family. This strategy demonstrates the option of the State for agricultural development policies, leaving more space for market regulation in the field, which intensifies the land question. The development of these policies is fraught with conflict, since the rationality of (re)production peasant social clashes of economic rationality embedded in programs for family farms. Through the peasant way of life, families and resignify reorganize the productive strategies of the programs in order to sustain the autonomy of the use of time and territory peasant. Thus, the goal is to identify and analyze how the peasant way of life (re)orient the process of integration of the families of the Three Bridges Settlement, situated in Perolândia municipality, Goiás Southwest microregion, Acquisition Program Food (PAA) and the National Biodiesel Production and Use (PNPB). These two programs are present in almost all settlements in the region and are developed through different activities and partnerships, which enriched the analysis and discussion of the data. To this end, we reviewed the references dealing with the issue, as well as semi-structured interviews with 50% of households surveyed and the settlement with representatives of partner organizations. It was found that the state and the corporations controlling the steps of the logistical and bureaucratic programs, which are disputed, denied or accepted by the families when they do not have the power to modify them. It is in the production process and the completion of the work, the peasant way of life rearranges the actions proposed by the programs. By controlling the unique use of space, labor, time and tools, families engaged in the peasant territoriality. This is therefore a dialectical relationship, because the same way that the control of social relations allows playback peasant, the territory is also used by companies, which reproduces the capital and the state, which confirms the subordinate condition of space in the settlements.
