Juventudes rurais e agroecologia: entre o ficar e o sair

Abstract

Rural youth for decades went through an evasion process, leaving the countryside in search of other life perspectives outside the rural environment. In the midst of this factor, there is a plethora of studies and debates in order to understand these subjects and what actions would be necessary for an effective rural succession that would provide transformations on the field, allowing rural youths a space of law. The present case study aimed to understand and describe the relationships of the subjects inserted in the family nuclei of the Frecheira de São Pedro community, Cocal-PI, analyzing the factors that interfere and influence the decision to stay or leave the territory, taking a look at access to education, politics, laser and culture, work and income. The research took place in four moments, being exploratory research to obtain information about the subjects; bibliographic study observing the existing researches linked to the worked theme and the elaboration of a semi structured questionnaire and the focus group. From a qualitative approach, this research sought to converse with 23 social actors, 10 of them through a semi-structured questionnaire and 13 of them in a focus group, which are inserted in nuclei of family farmers. Thus, based on the identified reality, it was sought to verify through an agroecological look which factors from sustainability can leverage the protagonism in the processes of learning, production and realization of rights for rural young people in order to consolidate the succession with participation political and social.
