Systematic Review of the Literature on Family Farming and the Social and Solidarity Economy in Brazil and Latin America
Concerned with the increase in hunger worldwide, as well as unemployment and the lack of equity in the distribution of income, the United Nations began to address genuinely Latin American scientific categories in its agendas, assemblies and task forces. The two main categories are Family Farming, with the recent establishment of the Family Farming decade (2019-2028) and the Social and Solidarity Economy as a tool for transposing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the Territories. Together, these categories can be responsible for achieving the SDGs in 78% of the world's territory. There is a need, however, to clarify whether the science produced in Latin America also presents trends of intersection, in the search for the theoretical construction of a new paradigm of production and consumption. In this sense, the objective of this study was to identify trends in scientific production on the categories Family Farming and Social and Solidarity Economy. An adaptation of the PRISMA method was developed as a systematic literature review to identify these trends in the scientific field in Latin America. After executing the PRISMA method, we arrived at 244 articles from Family Farming and 56 articles from the Social and Solidarity Economy between 2016 and 2020, categorized into Areas of Study and Knowledge, Macrocategories and Microcategories. There are consolidated trends in the intersection between Family Farming and the Social and Solidarity Economy in productions on Productive Inclusion, Sustainable Development and Sustainability Indicators, and with evident growth in the areas of productions on Food Security, mainly in the Organic Foods and Agroecology microcategories and productions on Public Policies in microcategories such as the National School Feeding Program, Social Transformations and Social Technologies. We conclude that the relationship between Social and Solidarity Economy and Family Farming is reciprocal in terms of granting cohesion to the scientific production network, extrapolating the borders of Brazil and integrating not only Latin America, but also Iberoamerica as a path to the expansion of both. the categories.
Contribution of Rural Non-Farm Enterprises to Buen Vivir in Protected Areas in the Amazon
Rural non-farm activities are adaptation strategies that local communities develop as socioeconomic alternatives, for facing imposed restrictions in protected areas. To highlight these strategies, this study aimed to relate the socioeconomic variables of social agents (SAs) with their perceptions about the impact of rural non-farm enterprises (RNFEns) on the Buen Vivir of their community as residents of the Sustainable Development Reserve of Tupé, Manaus, Amazonas. In this exploratory research, through semi-structured interviews and participatory observations, the perceptions of the SAs about the dimensions of Buen Vivir (Psychological Well-Being, Time Use, Community Vitality, Culture, Environment, and others) were evaluated and how these perceptions relate to the socioeconomic variables of the RNFEns. In the perception of the SAs, the RNFEns positively impact Buen Vivir in the dimensions with the strongest collective tendency and negatively in the dimensions with the strongest private tendency, with pluriactivity being the explanatory variable.
