Plano Safra da Agricultura Familiar provoca revolução no campo

Responsável por 70% dos alimentos que chegam à nossa mesa, a agricultura familiar tornou-se, com Lula e Dilma, setor estratégico para o desenvolvimento do país. O cenário no campo, que nos governos anteriores era de concentração de terras, dívidas e empobrecimento, mudou radicalmente com a chegada de Lula à Presidência. Os agricultores familiares passaram a contar com políticas integradas de crédito, assistência técnica, comercialização, seguro e garantia de preço. Criado por Lula em 2003, o Plano Safra da Agricultura Familiar a cada ano disponibiliza volume maior de recursos e agrega novos avanços, revolucionando permanentemente o setor.

O Programa Nacional de Fortalecimento da Agricultura Familiar (Pronaf) já existia, mas 76% dos estabelecimentos familiares não tinham acesso a ele. Lula e Dilma levaram o Pronaf ao Brasil inteiro e multiplicaram por mais de dez vezes o volume de crédito, que saltou de R$ 2,2 bilhões em 2002/2003 para R$ 24,1 bilhões em 2014/2015.

Importante ressaltar que os avanços do Pronaf, desde o primeiro ano do primeiro mandato de Lula, foram fruto de intensas negociações entre o governo federal  e as entidades que representam o setor, como Confederação Nacional dos Trabalhadores na Agricultura (Contag), Federação dos Trabalhadores na Agricultura Familiar (Fetraf Brasil), Movimento dos Trabalhadores Sem Terra (MST), Movimento dos Atingidos por Barragens (MAB) e Movimento dos Pequenos Agricultores (MPA).

Fortalecida, a agricultura familiar ajudou a reduzir a pobreza e a promover o crescimento sustentável do país.

Lula and Dilma settle 771,000 families on 51 million hectares in agrarian reform programs
Gogole+ [10] [11] Facebook [12]

Symbol of the democratization of land ownership and more job opportunities and higher incomes in rural areas — but considered taboo by conservatives — agrarian reform gained historic momentum during the Lula and Dilma governments.

Families such as that of João Mendes da Rocha and his son Marco Aurélio (Paranoá-DF) now produce more and post higher profits with the support of the federal government Photo: Eduardo Aigner/MDAThe two together have promoted a record number of settlements, according to Incra: 771,000 families received land ownership titles in the last 12 years, more than half of the total benefits in the entire history of land reform in Brazil.

No fewer than 3,902 settlements were established in every state in the federation, adding 51 million hectares, equal to the territory of Ceará and Mato Grosso do Sul combined — the equivalent of 56% of all land already previously made available for agrarian reform purposes throughout the history of the country.

And most important: instead of abandoning them to fend for themselves as in the past, the settlers enjoy the support of credit, technical assistance, construction and housing reform, roads construction, installation of water and electricity, high genetic quality seeds, guaranteed sale of farm production and expansion of school education levels, among other benefits. More than a piece of ground, they’ve won the right to plant, harvest and live with dignity.

Dilma, gained more legal mechanisms for land reform to help move it along, to reduce the red tape. The procedures for obtaining land titles have been simplified. The regulations for creating new settlements began to contain investment schedules for programs such as My House, My Life and Light for All.

Debt  repayment became easier with discounts of up to 80%. Executive decree 2013 allows the renegotiation of the debts of 947,000 settler families, 200,000 with Pronaf. They are returned to the production credit system, mobilizing 8 million hectares for food production.

Technical assistance, already extending benefits to 349,000 families according to the Ministry of Agrarian Development (MDA), will be extended to another 100,000 by the end of 2014. The estimate is that in five years each settled family will generate an amount equivalent to the value of two monthly minimum wages from production. The order is: land for those who need it, faster and more safely.

Increase in the number of settled families

In 2013, the Dilma government settled 30,359 families, 31% more than in 2012, on a total of 316,000 hectares. According to Incra, on average only 22% of these lands had been in use. Fifty percent of expropriated properties lacked any productive activities.

Strengthen family farming

"We are going to encourage family farming, fund it, bring technical assistance to it because, if it depends on this country, no one will go hungry in the world. We already have a corporate farming situation that is second to none in the world. Our family farms should now be able to compete with those in any country, because we have what they don’t have and today we have the political will to do it."

(5/30/2008 at the ceremony for the signing of the Federative Citizen Territories Cooperation Agreement, in Belém)

Higher productivity for small farmers

We are here today to launch this plan for R$ 24.1 billion in credits foreseen for this harvest. And without a doubt, it is the largest plan hitherto carried out. I wanted to say that these R$ 24 billion represent 10 times more than was invested in the 2002/2003 season and it shows the strength of your efforts. It shows that, besides the fact the government is sensitive and attentive to the importance of family farming and the importance of agrarian reform settlers, it is a fact that we all have learned, the government has learned, you have learned. In the process, we all learn. We want the farmers of this country, small farmers of this country, to have access to the best possible conditions to invest, to acquire machinery and equipment that improve the productivity of your properties and, at the same time, generate more employment and income."

"Family farming has come to our community here in Zona da Mata to improve the conditions of the small rural farmer, where before we survived only through our own efforts. Today we are mechanized, we have selected seed, irrigation. And today we receive technical assistance and are guaranteed the sale of our products through local purchases."

Livânia Frizon, representative of Agrovila Canudos (RN)

"It's very exciting to receive a visit from the chief of the largest land reform settlement [program]. In other times, what we received from the State was repression. And after a settlement was built, it was abandoned to demonstrate that land reform should not continue. Productivity is only possible, Mr. President, in this settlement and others in the region ... because of your government. Much has changed in our lives for the better due to your government."
