Diagnóstico das políticas públicas no fortalecimento da reforma agrária: um estudo de caso do complexo “Itamarati” - Ponta Porã-MS

Abstract

This research analyzed the panorama of public policies in the Itamarati settlement that aim to strengthen agrarian reform, such as the PAA - DS (Food Acquisition Program with simultaneous donation), the PNAE (National School Feeding Program), the PAA -CI (Food Acquisition Program – Institutional Purchase). In this sense, we seek to investigate to what extent public policies have contributed, or not, to the strengthening and independence of families settled in the Settlement Itamarati complex from a line of investigation that followed the implementation processes of these policies, which of the settlers managed to benefit from them and what path the family farmer took to access them. We also profiled these families: who are they? Where do they come from? Have their lives changed after activating the public policies of agrarian reform? In this sense, the analysis of these families and public policies occurs through a time frame that contemplates since the creation of the settlement, in 2004, until 2018, period in which there was a significant decrease in investments. On this aspect, the results of the research indicated that this lack of investments is related to a period of political instability at Brasil, and that concerns, specifically, the impeachment process of President Dilma Roussef and the establishment of Michel Temer's mandate. As a methodological resource, a qualitative research was carried out that sought to follow the life trajectory of these settlers, as well as interviews with the presidents of the local cooperatives – responsible for activating some of these public policies. Quantitative data was also used with regard to the amount of financial investment in the settlement with regard to public policies.
