Resumo: | The present research focuses on Short Food Supply Chains (SFSC) dynamized by peasants settled in the North of Minas Gerais. The objective is to understand the importance of short food supply chains in the settlements of Dois de Junho and Orion, how they are structured, and whether they contribute to improving the income and living conditions of the settlers. The short supply chains analyzed are those that result from the participation of settlers in local fairs and institutional markets defined by the Food Acquisition Program and the National School Feeding Program. It is important to highlight that settlers who joined these SSC sought solutions to problems such as selling their production to middlemen, excess production, and the pursuit of building a life on the acquired land. The peasants participating in these experiences bring a history of confrontations against the exploitation of large estates. The trajectory of struggle for land contributed to the formation of political and social bases in the conquered land. Nevertheless, peasant families face a series of difficulties, from lack of government support to the absence of an effective agrarian reform policy, the lack of basic infrastructure such as roads, housing, piped water, and transportation. Despite the adversities, it was possible to find positive results, including diversified production, the availability of healthy food and improved income for the interviewed families. It was observed that direct sales via SSC have specific aspects related to production planning with farmers and organizational dynamics. The set of information and analysis leads to the conclusion that the SSC, despite being relatively recently theorized, have long been practiced by the peasant population (especially through fairs and direct sales), what is new and significant in terms of short supply chain for the studied settlers is only the institutional markets, which also serve as "socially necessary markets", but still need significant improvement. |
