“…Low education level of family farmers makes use of SPS difficult. In the state of Rio Grande do Sul family farmers attended by PRONAF, research indicated that income has a high correlation with farmers education level, considering that the participants studying average was 5.9 years (ANJOS et al, 2004). It may be even lower in the North and Northwest regions of Brazil.…”

The Silvopastoral System (SPS) is understood as an interaction between trees, animals and pasture. The knowledge about the component action potentialities and limitations determines the system success or failure. The potentialities that can be highlighted are the heat reduction for animals and the improvement of the forage quality provided by the trees shadows. The reduction of pasture production at degraded systems is a limitation. The SPS is a sustainable option for family properties that produce meat and milk. The economical, social and cultural limitations are a problematic issue for the SPS adoption and it slows down the number of producers implementing it, specially the called family agriculture. The public policy deficiency to improve it, the lack of technical assistance preparation on the issue and the limited scientific knowledge about the system economical advantages are some of the difficulties to increase the SPS in Brazil. SISTEMA SILVIPASTORIL: UMA REVISÃO COM APONTAMENTOS À AGRICULTURA FAMILIAR RESUMO: O Sistema Silvipastoril (SSP) envolve a interação entre árvores, animais e pastagem. O conhecimento das potencialidades e limitações da ação de cada componente em relação aos demais componentes determina o sucesso ou fracasso na adoção do sistema.Como benefícios alcançados pode-se destacar a amenização do calor aos animais e a melhoria da qualidade da forragem proporcionada pela sombra das árvores. Já a redução na produção da pastagem em sistemas mal manejados destaca-se como limitação. O SSP é uma opção sustentável às propriedades familiares produtoras de carne e de leite. Porém, limitações de ordem econômica, social e cultural compõem uma barreira para a adoção do SSP por produtores principalmente por aqueles que fazem parte da denominada agricultura familiar (AF). A reduzida atuação de políticas públicas para incentivar esta área, a falta de preparo da assistência técnica no assunto, e o limitado conhecimento científico sobre o retorno econômico do sistema são alguns dos elementos que dificultam o crescimento do SSP em unidade da AF no Brasil. PALAVRAS-CHAVE:Sistemas agroflorestais, pastagem, pequeno agricultor.

“…4 PRONAF, created in 1996, was developed to provide subsidised agricultural credit, crop insurance and technical assistance to small farmers, including agrarian reform settlers. Some critics of this programme (Anjos et al, 2004) questioned its capacity (or even true intention) to support the poorest farmers or to promote rural development. Indeed, until 2004, the programme was heavily skewed towards farms in the relatively rich southern region of the country (Junqueira & Lima, 2008), where family farmers have always been better organised, better informed, and able to guarantee better collateral for credit offered under the programme.…”

In the past few years, Brazil has made significant progress in reducing hunger and food and nutrition insecurity. By the end of 2009 it had met the first United Nations Millennium Development Goal of reducing poverty and malnutrition by half, six years ahead of the 2015 deadline. Much of this progress has been achieved through innovative policies and initiatives championed by civil society organisations for over two decades. This paper reviews some of the most important policies and initiatives which are having a beneficial impact on sustainable rural development and food security. Focusing on conditions for small family farmers, the authors describe the main elements of these government programmes as well as relevant civil society initiatives, and the possible lessons to be learned from them. The paper concludes by discussing the challenges the country faces in maintaining recent advances in sustainable rural development and food security.

“…An earlier evaluation of this programme (Anjos et al, 2004) questioned its capacity (or even true intention) to support the poorest farmers or to promote rural development. Such concerns have been partially addressed with the creation in 2003 of the national Food Procurement Programme (Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos -PAA).…”
