Agricultura Familiar e Agroindústria Canavieira: impasses sociais

Agroenergetic Policies for the production of biofuels is presented under the assumptions of sustainable development. The ethanol fuel, produced from sugarcane, appears as a more viable alternative, which stimulates growth of new processes and spatial distribution of the sugarcane production. Goiás state is one of the main routes of expansion of the sugarcane. This article aims to understand the contradictions of the social issues within the official discourse of the National Plan of Agroenergy and the impacts associated with the expansion of sugarcane monoculture in regions of predominance of family farming. The development of the theme is based on a case study, conducted in Itapuranga city (Goiás state), using a qualitative approach and combining the techniques of literature search, observation and interviews. It was found that these policies helped to transform the social context of Itapuranga and cause considerable changes in the organizational dynamics of family farmers.

本数据集基于可持续发展假设，对生物燃料生产相关的农业能源政策（Agroenergetic Policies）进行了阐述。以甘蔗为原料制取的乙醇燃料，是更具可行性的替代能源，其发展可推动新型生产工艺的革新与甘蔗种植空间布局的优化。戈亚斯州（Goiás state）是甘蔗种植扩张的核心区域之一。本文旨在厘清国家农业能源计划（National Plan of Agroenergy）官方话语体系中社会议题的内在矛盾，以及甘蔗单一种植（monoculture）扩张在家庭农业占主导地区所产生的关联影响。本研究以戈亚斯州伊塔普朗加市（Itapuranga city）为案例研究对象，采用质性研究方法（qualitative approach），结合文献调研、实地观察与访谈等研究技术开展工作。研究结果表明，此类政策切实改变了伊塔普朗加的社会环境，并对家庭农场的组织运作模式带来了显著变革。
