Influência da estrutura agrária na segurança alimentar da população - posto administrativo de Sábie

Abstract

This work intends to evaluate the food security of the Sabie administrative post, based on components of the local agrarian structure, namely: the access and use of land, the types of agriculture practiced, the existence or not of incentives for agricultural activity, relating them to the natural, social, economic and political aspects of the spatial area of ​​study. To carry out this study, information from institutions dedicated to food safety was used. Fieldwork was also carried out, which consisted of direct observation and application of semi-structured and informal interviews to obtain information regarding the components of the agrarian structure already mentioned. The analysis of the information collected in the institutions and in the field work allowed to differentiate and characterize the types of agriculture practiced, according to the occupied area, types of instruments used, marketing dynamics and agricultural inputs used. It should be noted that this characterization was possible through the cross-analysis of some variables and overlaying maps that show the spatial location of the types of agriculture. The results show that the types of agriculture in the Sabie post have an influence on the situation in which a household reaches levels of dissatisfaction with its food needs. Most of the households in the Sabie post work on the basis of rainfed agriculture, unlike other sectors that develop irrigation agriculture. Another verified fact refers that basic infrastructure services are limited, which mainly influence the increase in marketing costs. On the one hand, there is also the unfavorable natural conditions (soils, climate and precipitation), on the other hand, the difficulties arising from a land tenure system, still under construction, which does not allow for security, of access to land for family sector households .(TRADUÇÁO NOSSA)
