A importância da Visita Técnica para o pequeno produtor rural do Assentamento Flores em Uruçuí-Pi

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the importance of technical visits for small rural producers, focusing on the Flores Settlement, located in Uruçuí-PI. The research seeks to understand the technical guidance provided by specialized professionals that can contribute to the development of agricultural activities and to the improvement of the socioeconomic conditions of small producers. Technical visits are an essential tool for knowledge transfer, enabling farmers to have access to more efficient, sustainable and profitable practices, thus increasing their productivity. The study was conducted through interviews with local producers, analysis of secondary data and direct observation of agricultural practices in the settlement. The results indicate that the presence of agricultural technicians and extension workers has a positive impact on the adoption of new technologies, on the control of forecasts and diseases, and on the management of natural resources, in addition to strengthening the integration of producers with public policies aimed at family farming. The research concludes that technical visits are a fundamental instrument for improving the quality of life and sustainability in rural areas, promoting a continuous cycle of learning and growth for small producers
