Economia pluriativa e geração de renda da agricultura familiar Quilombo Cavalhada - Flores-PE

Abstract

The present work seeks to show how the income of QuilomboCavalhada, which is located in the rural area of the city of Flores-PE, is generated, since the community articulates itself from production to self-consumption and, based on pluvial economy, it is possible to leverage internal market and expand beyond the municipality of origin. Thus, the importance for the studies of new ruralities, starting from an object of the Rural Economy and the Environmental Economy, is justified. From this, we try to answer the question: What are the articulations and how does the internal organization of the quilombolas of Cavalhada-PE take place as regards labor and income issues. The present methodology is the result of the joint construction elaborated in the Group of Interdisciplinary Research of Rural Extension in Settlements with production of instrument of research, collection and analysis of data realized in a collective and supervised way. The work has a qualitative character and bibliographic research was used as a research tool. The community counts on a small agricultural production of family food of corn and beans and with the production of handicrafts with inputs that would be discarded. However, the community identifies itself as farmers because most of its income comes from planting; however, there is great potential for agroecological craftsmanship, which would consequently generate more income, conservation of nature and would be a more sustainable option. This would also strengthen the local market, contribute to the development of both the community and the region in which they are inserted, and would not depend exclusively on agriculture and aid from the BolsaFamília Program.
