Um movimento de jovens agricultores familiares
Nilson Weisheimer
Abstract
This article describes union participation among young family farmers mobilized by the Bahia State Agricultural Workers’ Federation; we describe the origin and organizational trajectory of this movement, family farmers, and the participation of young people in the family farmer union movement. The empirical basis of this analysis was a survey conducted among participants in the 1st State Festival of Rural Youth in Bahia in 2013, which produced 145 statements. The results confirmed that the main characteristics of young people’s participation in family agriculture were intense socialization in this work and precarious material autonomy. Within this context, the young people’s participation in the union was seen to be marked by family ties and the search for social reproduction in family farming, while also constituting a political practice aimed at social recognition and material autonomy.elocation-id: e2230101Received: 09.14.2021 • Accepted: 01.26.2022 • Published: 02.21.2022Original article / Blind peer review / Open access
