Abstract:O estudo tem por objetivo realizar uma análise do processo de incubação, uma tecnologia social voltada à sustentabilidade de empreendimentos econômicos solidários. Trata-se de mostrar a ação da Incubadora Tecnológica de Cooperativas Populares e Empreendimentos Solidários (ITCPES), um programa de ensino, pesquisa e extensão junto à Cooperativa dos Fruticultores de Abaetetuba (Cofruta). Partiu-se da pesquisa exploratória-descritiva sob uma abordagem qualitativa-quantitativa para demonstrar a sustentabilidade a p… Show more
“…The COFRUTA maintains the lowest level of social perceptions, as producers are dissatisfied because the cooperative does not buy all "Açaí" production, forcing negotiations with distributors. This result corroborates Silva, Barbosa, and Albuquerque [58], who state that the sustainability of the COFRUTA is strategic for the region as it plays a leading role in the workers' organization process. The bigger picture aligns with the negative impacts of asymmetry in economic and negotiation power in global supply chains.…”
The Amazon is a biodiversity hotspot. Around 90% of its territory is inhabited by native communities, who spontaneously organize themselves into groups of extractivists and small producers, relying on biodiversity as their primary means of sustenance. This paper aims to discuss how the biotrade of Amazonian biodiversity goods affects native communities with respect to environmental, social, and economic sustainability. Based on a sample of 178 native extractivists in four communities, we concluded that biotrade enabled native communities to market their products by adapting to existing conditions, considering the difficulties and the expectations of traditional residents, and contributed to the three dimensions of sustainable development.

“…The state of Pará is the most populous of the Northern Region, with an area corresponding to 14.6% of the country (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística, no date). The organizations analyzed, located in Cametá, and Abaetetuba, are suppliers of NTFPs such as murumuru ( Astrocaryum murumuru ), andiroba ( Carapa guianensis ), and bacaba ( Oenocarpus bacaba ), used in formulations of the Brazilian company (Alfaia 2012, Silva et al 2013).…”
In the Br azilian Amazon, around two million people depend on Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) as their main source of cash income. Given the inherent bottlenecks to the commercialization of such products in the region, such as communities lacking access to credit and business skills,
alternative governance models have arisen with the aim of addressing such challenges. This stud y focused on one partnership between a donor, the German Cooperation Agency, and two private companies, a new trend in global governance under criticism for being donor dominated and disregarding
local interests. While this could undermine the legitimacy of such partnerships and compromise the replicability of the model, the achievement of economic empowerment of NTFP-reliant communities would alternatively deem this type of venture desirable and socially acceptable. Therefore, the
main goal of this study was to assess whether such configurations are able to economically empower communities in the state of Pará, Brazil. The results showed that this governance model is unable to generate high empowerment, due to conflicts with the interests of the most powerful
actor and external factors, which entails a need for an alternative model to achieve this goal in the region.
“…Definida a terceira hipótese do estudo, na Figura 5 apresentam-se as variáveis do constructo Comercialização da dimensão social da sustentabilidade proporcionada pelas cooperativas para a agricultura familiar. Na Figura 5, quanto ao constructo Comercialização, verifica-se que as cooperativas conseguem apresentar maior nível de segurança para as negociações da agricultura familiar, além de oferecer melhor atendimento, auxiliando no processo de negociação, e também ao acesso dos agricultores familiares aos programas governamentais, facilitando assim às vendas, e propiciam o comércio justo (Silva, Barbosa, & Albuquerque, 2013;Molina, 2016;Santos et al, 2018). Finalizando os constructos pertencentes aos constructos da dimensão social formula-se a quarta hipótese da pesquisa.…”
O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar se ser cooperado ou não em uma cooperativa leiteira influencia na dimensão social da sustentabilidade da agricultura familiar. As análises foram realizadas pela Modelagem de Equações Estruturais, com estimação dos “Mínimos Quadrados Parciais”, utilizando o software SmartPLS® 3.0, com a validação dos constructos e o teste de hipóteses. Verificou-se que a cooperativa influencia positivamente na dimensão social da sustentabilidade dos cooperados, pois as percepções dos cooperados foram positivas e significativas estatisticamente quando comparadas com as opiniões dos não cooperados, demonstrando que ser cooperado impacta positivamente nesta relação entre cooperativa e agricultura familiar.
