As mudanças na agenda governamental para políticas de agricultura familiar de 2015 a 2019

Abstract

Over the years, family farming has undergone many changes and assumed a strategic role in the government's agenda, in the production of raw materials, in the food supply of populations and in the dynamics of rural development. However, policies aimed at serving family farmers were not always in the government's focus. Therefore, this work aims to analyze the changes in the governmental agenda regarding family farming in the period from 2015 to 2019, mainly investigating the changes in the political-institutional context, the presence of actors and changes in the main public policies aimed at this theme . The method used was qualitative and the technique was document analysis, where primary and secondary sources were explored, from institutional documents such as decrees and laws, through newspaper news, program budget values, in addition to case studies of policies. The results identified a change in policy-institutional orientation from 2016 onwards, the extinction of the Ministry of Agrarian Development, a greater participation of the ruralist caucus in government decisions and a reduction in budget values ​​for public policies on family farming. Such changes reflect the return of the social assistance framework to this social category, which was removed from the governmental agenda for agriculture, now occupied almost entirely by the interests of agribusiness.
