Local economic development - Family farming
Show all
Low economic performance in subsistence agriculture discourages a continuation of the traditional mode of production and creates a serious migration of youth from rural areas and quilombolas to the cities to work on the service sector. Nevertheless, at the national level and despite the economic crisis, agriculture is one of the sectors with the greatest stability. Therefore, promotion of the agricultural sector is paramount, as well as fostering and reinvigorating the rural realm and the quilombos, areas with available resources within the municipal budget.
The purpose of this program is to promote, recognize, and expand family and quilombola agriculture to achieve a better inflow of products and an increase in income, and to offer education focused on the necessities of the countryside, democratizing the access to it and introducing family and quilombola agriculture to the local economic market. Another of the objectives is to introduce the rural realm into the tourist itinerary of local travel agencies, bringing tourists in closer proximity with an area with significant potential but still quite unexplored.

The legal framework is not based on decrees or laws but rather on specific acts and works. In this case, the first Rural Producers Fair, which has given visibility to and improved the lives of these producers.
Society in general
Creation of entity/plan/programme
The Rural Producers Fair and the Rural Producers Seal guarantee the origin, care, processing, and commercialization of production, thus ensuring the local origin of all products. The inclusion of family agriculture into municipal school cafeterias has fostered the acquisition of these types of products. This action was shelved at the municipal level but, in 2021, more than R$2 million were invested in the purchase of products such as pineapples, red pumpkins, cassava, Trocadero lettuce, banana Prata, scallion and parsley seasoning, cabbage, oranges, green peppers, beetroot, and sweet potatoes—a budget seven times higher than the 2020 objective. An agreement of technical cooperation has been signed, with training courses on agricultural techniques and entrepreneurship in the countryside open both to the community in general and to rural communities and quilombola. The program ends with the expansion of the Itajurú social currency and the Quilombola Tourist Route through the transfer of income, thus contributing to the reduction of social inequalities, revitalizing the regional economy and strengthening the neighborhood economy. The Quilombola Tourist Route introduces quilombos to the tourist realm, opening up its doors to their cuisine, crafts, and culture, in the same vein as the Mayan people in Mexico or the Quechuas and Incas in Perú and Chile.
The sum of efforts through joint actions transforms the community in the face of the challenge to sustain traditions.
UENF–Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense.
Meetings and gatherings have been held with farmers and quilombolas in which their demands were heard and discussed. There are currently joint actions in place with the local community.
Budget is guaranteed by the local government.
Monitoring of these policies and implementation of the program are still in their early stages.
Local goverment
The Rural Producers Fair is held every fifteen days both in the rural area and in the city center, attracting producers to the urban city center and introducing them to the local market. Product acquisition for school meals marked a difference for the quilombola people, fostering production.
