Los Mecanismos De Inclusión Social: Aspectos Controversiales en El Programa Nacional De Producción De Biodiesel en Brasil

Abstract

RESUMENEn casi una década de funcionamiento, el Programa Nacional de Producción de Biodiesel en Brasil, hay una serie de problemas relacionados con la inclusión social de las familias campesinas. Las acciones del gobierno junto con las empresas productoras no han logrado el resultado deseado en el comienzo de la operación del programa.No se están haciendo acciones correctivas para un verdadero trabajo de inclusión social, y por lo tanto uno de los objetivos del programa, que es la erra dicación de la pobreza y mejores condiciones de vida para las familias participantes está fallando. PALABRAS CLAVE:Biodiesel, Inclusión Social, Programa Nacional de Producción de Biodiesel, Sello Social. THE MECHANISMS OF SOCIAL INCLUSION: CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES CONCERNING THE NATIONAL PROGRAM FOR BIODIESEL PRODUCTION IN BRAZIL ABSTRACTIn almost a decade of operation, the National Program for Biodiesel Production in Brazil, has a number of problems related to the social inclusion of the rural families. The government actions together with the producing companies have not achieved the desired result in the inicial plan of the program. Corrective actions are not being made for a real social inclusion, and thus one of the important goals of the program, which is the eradication of poverty and better living conditions for the participating families is failing.

Setting the design space of biorefineries through sustainability values, a practical approach

“…Credibility was considered important for getting or assigning commercial contracts and partnerships within the scope of a BRP, and for convincing farmers and investors to participate (as discussed for investment security). This was especially the case for small agro‐producers in Minas Gerais, where negative past experiences with vegetable oils and biofuel projects cast a shadow on the credibility of new bio‐based project proposals, according to respondents and as discussed in the literature …”

Integrating Value Considerations in the Decision Making for the Design of Biorefineries

“…governmental programs and policies, Bosman and Rotmans 2016 ). To illustrate these two points, we refer to the early phases of the biodiesel case in Brazil in the early 2000s: Biodiesel biorefineries and a diesel program were set-up to promote social development, but their initial result was a large participation from large-scale soybean oil producers and little inclusion of small-scale family farmers (Castellanelli 2016 ). Biorefinery operators mostly bought soybean oil (unanticipated), while the biodiesel program was not sufficient to incentivize the entry of family farmers to the fuel market (institutional scope beyond the biorefinery).…”
