Agricultura e desenvolvimento econômico em Guadalupe-PI: o papel da agricultura familiar irrigada

Abstract

Family farming, historically disregarded in favor of production destined for export, has gained relevance due to increased concern about environmental conservation and food security. This work aims to highlight the relevance of agriculture and the obstacles it faces in today's society, more specifically in the city of Guadalupe - PI, emphasizing the demand for government policies that favor the modernization of small farmers, access to credit, technical assistance , technologies and sustainability, in addition to promoting the presence of women and young people in rural areas. When proclaiming the Decade of Family Farming (2018-2029), the United Nations General Assembly highlights that these farmers provide 80% of the food consumed globally, even in the face of challenges. Family farming not only promotes healthy and sustainable eating, but also boosts the economy of Brazilian cities by encouraging sustainability and food security through efficient government policies.
