Desenvolvimento rural e políticas públicas de sustentabilidade no município de Triunfo-PE

Abstract

It is essential to believe that sustainable development will only be possible when the limitations of the regional and local reality in which it is inserted are known and respected. While recognizing this reality, while recognizing that it is not easy, it is possible to make some points of a sustainable rural development policy. In this perspective, the work investigated the sustainable rural development of the municipality of Triunfo - PE, located in the hinterland of the Pajeú, Semiarid, in order to verify if this really exists and how it has been occurring. In this sense, the Sustainability Model of the Rural Development Policy of Brazil (2010) was applied, which perceives sustainability in the rural environment from the social, ecological and economic dimensions. This theoretical model of sustainable development was fed based on IBGE's sustainability indicators (2002), and, therefore, the analytical model applied to the reality of the Municipality was elaborated. The primary data were analyzed by applying discourse analysis and secondary data through content analysis. As a result, the public policies, mainly those directed to family agriculture and financing of rural activities, as the main support for rural residents, are being carried out in the rural area of Triunfo - PE. And it is recognized that the development of rural sustainability is still bound to happen because of the limitations that many small producers have to expand their productive activities in their production units and therefore to develop socially, ecologically and economically.
