      En Brasil, nosostros tenemos un Plano Especial que se destina a los pequeños agricultores: El Pronaf, credito con tajas abajo del mercado, en la safra 2013/2014 se estimó en cerca de R$ 20 biliones (US$ 10 mil miliones). La más recente inovación es el apoyo a la comercialización. El PAA criado busca garantizar la aquisición de la producción dos alimentos desses agricultores. Esses alimentos son doados a las personas aingidas por la hambre en el sector urbano y rural, los alimentos son distribuídos a los hospitales, escuelas, orfanatos. Los pequeños agricultores receben el dinero e las personas e instituciones ficán con los alimentos. 30% de los recursos del programa son destinados a las mujeres e sus organizaciones.

      Hay un ministério responsable por el Pronaf (www.mda.gov.br) e el apoyo a la producción y otro por el PAA (www.mds.gov.br), por las donaciones.

      In Brazil, we have a Special Plan for smallholder farmers. During the 2013/2014 harvest, the National Program to Strengthen Family Farming (known in Spanish as PRONAF) granted loans, with low interest rates below market standards, estimated at BRL 20 billion (approximately USD 10 billion). The latest innovation is supporting marketing. The Plan to Support Agriculture (known in Spanish as PAA) aims to ensure the acquisition of food produced by farmers. Owing to this plan, food has been delivered to hungry people in urban and rural areas. Food is distributed in hospitals, schools, orphanages. Smallholders receive money and people and institutions take the food. 30% of the program resources are allocated to women and their organizations.

      The Ministry of Agrarian Development (www.mda.gov.br) is in charge of the PRONAF and production support, whilst the Ministry of Social Development and Fight against Hunger (www.mds.gov.br) of the PAA and the donations.

    • Dear Friends,

      I would suggest more spaces for civil society participation in the formulation and monitoring of public policies such as local councils, councils and committees with the presence of the public sector and the private sector.

      Thank you,

      Jader.

    • I think we need to expand to other countries the successful experiences of existing worldwide economic inclusion. In Brazil , for example , the creation of specific organs and councils with social participation has helped in building policies specific to women, such as credit limits for the production of food from their organizations ( PRONAF - woman). Agricultural marketing women have special treatment in the shares of the Food Acquisition Program . The National Plan of Policies for Women was built with the women's movement and has goals for gender equality and economic empowerment. Progress was made in granting titles to the land on behalf of women and process in the issuance of the Statement of Fitness for Pronaf , essential for access to government subsidies. The Thousand Women Program empowers women to professions seen as masculine , such as construction , drivers , electricians , painters and about U.S. $ 260 million ( $ 130 million ) will be invested in fighting violence against women by 2015.
