The process of globalization, which acts through its webs, permeates world trends, demanding new forms and alternatives of the organization from societies. The reality of the market and its economic and educational links also present new perspectives, potentialities and challenges, which require the effective participation of people in the search for viable economic and environmentally correct alternatives. In this context, family farming cooperatives present forms of mutual help in solving common concerns, creating opportunities from influencing their activities with cooperative members. Thus, this article aims to analyze the impacts of the actions of family farming cooperatives on the sustainability of rural producers in the municipalities of Umuarama and Dois Vizinhos, in Paraná state. To meet the aims, exploratory-descriptive research was used in the Web of Science database. The results move between four main focuses in the analyzed articles: farmers' perception, cooperative practices, quality of life, and management and satisfaction, which directly impact the sustainability of its members. According to the perception of the cooperative members of the two municipalities, cooperative practices are indifferent to their sustainability. Regarding the quality of life and management, cooperatives contribute to social involvement, interaction, integration, and solidarity among members, improve the quality of life and well-being of farmers, and involve members in decisionmaking in meetings and assemblies, generating sustainability over the quality of life and management. As for the indicator of the satisfaction of its members, the actions of cooperatives have a direct impact on sustainability since these actions are generating profitability and partnership with their members.

Resumo A cadeia de valor da castanha-do-brasil, que envolve mais de 60 mil famílias de agricultores indígenas e tradicionais, é gerida por mais de 100 organizações do terceiro setor que atuam basicamente no beneficiamento primário. Apesar de ser o principal produto florestal extrativista da Amazônia, sua cadeia de valor segue associada às relações de trabalho pré-capitalistas e monopsônios regionais e vem perdendo espaço para o paradigma agropecuário, defendido pela maioria dos planejadores e agentes econômicos da região. O objetivo geral deste estudo é investigar se o novo modelo das agroindústrias cooperativadas está contribuindo para o surgimento de um novo paradigma extrativista para a região. Na análise de inovações e descobertas sobre a cadeia de valor, as cooperativas agroindustriais mostram sinais de uma lógica de trabalho coletivo que pode reverter a subordinação do trabalho ao capital. A cadeia de valor é composta por cinco elos: floresta, comunidade, beneficiamento primário e secundário e mercado. As agroindústrias cooperativas do Amazonas mostram uma emancipação do sistema de aviamento e a ascensão de seus agentes sociais como protagonistas locais. A gestão coletiva desses empreendimentos tende a convergir para o novo paradigma extrativista na Amazônia.

Este trabajo examina las nuevas formas de explotación laboral que introducen las plataformas digitales de reparto de mercancías y propone algunas claves para interpretar el ejercicio del poder en la economía digital. Además, recorre el repertorio de contraconductas democráticas que los trabajadores de la gig economy han desplegado en España y en otras partes de Europa para contrarrestar el deterioro de sus condiciones laborales: prácticas de democracia salvaje, asociaciones cooperativas y batallas judiciales por la formalización laboral de su actividad. El objetivo es aplicar las herramientas conceptuales de la filosofía social y la teoría democrática para comprender una de las manifestaciones más emblemáticas de la precariedad laboral contemporánea, así como dignificar las revoluciones precarias que tratan de hacerle frente.

In the face of profound changes and needs in rural environments, tourism represents a holistic development alternative for the use of resources and social cohesion that generates benefits. In the Sierra Gorda Biosphere Reserve in Querétaro, Mexico, several community-based tourism ventures have recently been integrated but work in a disjointed manner, limiting their strengthening and consolidation. The objective of the present study was to analyze whether the integration of a network can be a tool for local development in the region. Through participatory action research with a constructivist approach and techniques such as semi-structured interviews, community workshops and participatory observation, the visionary perspective of the communities, entrepreneurs, and the main public, private and governmental institutional actors at the local level was rescued. The results highlight cooperativism, from a theoretical perspective, as a cornerstone of community tourism, where social cohesion generates better results. On the other hand, from practice, the Network was formed with self-management and protagonism of the community, in a solidary, viable and environmentally responsible tourism activity. It is concluded by visualizing that planning from the cooperation among diverse actors can achieve a development with a sustainable approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Minas Gerais is the largest strawberry producer in Brazil. The adoption of the certification of integrated strawberry production (PIMo) would result in the commercialization of safe and quality products. The objective of this work was to implement and analyze the compliance level of the family farmers of Cooperativa Agropecuária de Alfredo Vasconcelos - MG (COOPRAV) to PIMo, aiming at certification and obtaining the quality seal. A project "Integrated Strawberry Production: Towards Certification" was prepared with the objective of adapting the farm and process to the Specific Technical Standards for Integrated Strawberry Production. The project followed three procedures: 1) workshops including theoretical and practical training; 2) monthly technical attendance; 3) participatory audits. During the workshops, there was a great demand for knowledge related to pest and diseases management and pesticide application technology. In the technical attendance, it was possible to adapt the structures of the property to the standards of the PIMo, as well as proposing the use of the field book and good agricultural practices that allowed gains in productivity. During the participatory audits, ten non-conformities were identified, which were adequate to meet the standards. Six properties were considered suitable for use the PIMo seal and the cooperative reached a production potential of 121,700 kg of certified strawberries, with a reduction of 80% in the use of fungicides, 70% in the use of insecticides and substantial gains related to the organization properties with to the places for storing pesticides and strawberry packaging.

No atual contexto em que o debate sobre bioeconomia ganha espaço no cenário nacional, agroextrativistas organizados em cooperativas ganham notoriedade e adentram novos mercados. Diante disso, o presente artigo tem o objetivo de analisar as experiências da Cooperativa dos Pequenos Produtores Agroextrativistas de Lago do Junco (Coppalj), no Maranhão, da Cooperativa Central de Comercialização Extrativista do Acre (Cooperacre) e da Cooperativa Agroextrativista dos Produtores Rurais do Vale do Rio Iaco (Cooperiaco), no Acre. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, na qual foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas e abertas, somadas à análise documental. Por meio da organização cooperativa e do reconhecimento da importância das práticas tradicionais para a manutenção da floresta, os agroextrativistas conseguiram dinamizar a sua produção e acessar novos mercados, além de gerar ganhos por serviços ambientais. Concluímos que a formulação de políticas públicas e tomadas de decisões acerca da bioeconomia da sociobiodiversidade devem considerar os agroextrativistas e a importância dos seus modos de vida para a conservação da floresta amazônica.

Ante los profundos cambios y necesidades en los entornos rurales, el turismo representa una alternativa de desarrollo holístico para el aprovechamiento de recursos y cohesión social que generen beneficios. En la Reserva de la Biosfera Sierra Gorda en Querétaro, México, recientemente se han integrado diversos emprendimientos turísticos de base comunitaria que trabajan inconexos, limitando su fortalecimiento y consolidación. El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar si la integración de una red puede ser una herramienta que propicie el desarrollo local en la región. A través de la investigación-acción participativa con enfoque constructivista y técnicas como la entrevista semiestructurada, talleres comunitarios y observación participativa, se rescata la perspectiva visionaria de las comunidades, emprendedores, los principales actores institucionales públicos, privados y de gobierno a nivel local. Los resultados destacan al cooperativismo, desde la perspectiva teórica, como pieza medular del turismo comunitario, donde la cohesión social genera mejores resultados. Por otro lado, desde la práctica se conformó la Red con autogestión y protagonismo de la comunidad, en una actividad turística solidaria, viable y ambientalmente responsable. Se concluye visualizando que la planeación desde la cooperación entre diversos actores puede lograr un desarrollo con enfoque sustentable.

El objetivo del artículo es estudiar el cooperativismo y el codiseño como oportunidades de competitividad para revitalizar el conocimiento tradicional, contemplado en la tejeduría wayúu, y como modelos de intervención y empoderamiento de los pueblos indígenas. A partir de una metodología de análisis documental, que recoge la experiencia de intervención en el pueblo wayuu, se presentan dos casos relacionados con mujeres indígenas de los Municipios de Uribia y Manaure en el Departamento de La Guajira, Colombia. Se encontró que estas estrategias han supuesto un cambio positivo para estas comunidades, y una experiencia significativa que podría implementarse en el ámbito de las políticas públicas.

La relación entre el Partido Socialista y el cooperativismo ha ocupado un lugar central en la historia política, social y cultural de las experiencias de las izquierdas y la clase trabajadora en la Argentina. En contraposición, la historiografía reparó de modo parcial y a veces general en la naturaleza de aquel vínculo, desatendiendo aún más la génesis de dicho lazo. Nuestro trabajo analiza el modo en el que el socialismo, incluso antes de la constitución partidaria en 1896, concibió al cooperativismo como una herramienta central para la lucha y organización de la clase trabajadora. Asimismo, reconstruimos el proceso por el cual aquellas ideas se plasmaron en prácticas concretas por aquellos primeros años con la fundación de la Cooperativa de Publicaciones y la Cooperativa Obrera de Consumo.

Objective: Analyze the forms of territorial governance that are being built in the municipalities of Zapotitlán Salinas, Chila de la sal and Xicotlán at the Mixteca of Puebla, around the production of spring salt. Methodology: Review of the literature on the topic and field work between April 2022 and July 2023, carrying out 42 semi-structured interviews. Results: The recently created cooperatives as part of collective actions contribute to increasing levels of trust among producers. Limitations: Cooperatives and meetings of salt farmers to identify common problems and solutions have not yet managed to trigger local development around the use of salt. Conclusions: The distribution of resources and the organization for their use generates forms of territorial governance that oscillate between the inclusion or exclusion of salt producers.

The perspective of ecoocreativity (a neologism that unites ecology, cooperativism and creativity) is to bring about a deliberate political abandonment of the economistic regulatory criteria of Saxon origin, instituted by New Public Management and the guidelines of the Washington Consensus. This is the cause of the current political disaster and the politics of disaster in Latin America. It is a necessary condition, on the one hand, to encourage social experience to propitiate the creation of a new ecological (eco-creative) class, which could establish the parameters of a new post-neoliberal imaginary. On the other hand, because it is necessary to avoid the repetition of the "more of the same" of hegemonic economism. Another alternative is the "eco-fascist" perspectives, the result of substantive democratic degradation. For this reason, we propose twelve criteria for action as a horizon of what is possible to experience collectively, to make a general contribution to the democratic political debate.

Este artigo propõe uma análise do aparecimento de Eloísa Cartonera para compreender como experiências cartoneras atuam por uma reconfiguração do sensível (Rancière, 2017) ao inscreverem-se em uma disputa material e simbólica, utilizando-se da escrita como política de vida (Anzaldúa, 2000). O corpus em questão é formado por discursos autorreferentes e entrevistas coletadas que tratam de diversas experiências cartoneras — propostas editoriais alternativas que confeccionam livros em capas de papelão. Para nosso trabalho, recuperamos uma dimensão historicizante dessas práticas para contextualizar suas formas de questionamento e atuação. Empreendemos nossa pesquisa no sentido de entender como as cartoneras parceiras fazem, a partir de suas publicações, gestos políticos para poder dizer, ser e se fazer ver.

A partir de modelos dinâmicos de evolução tecnológica, aplicados aos princípios fundamentais identificados pelos clássicos da Organização Industrial, foi possível identificar as vantagens competitivas e as estratégias adotadas pelas grandes corporações do agronegócio brasileiro em ascensão no exterior. No caso das empresas que conseguiram atender diretamente outros mercados, foi fundamental a estratégia de “nicho ambiental”, estabelecendo uma série de certificações e arranjos territoriais de uso e ocupação do solo no Brasil e validada por meio de parceria/aquisição de empresas no país alvo, contornando assim o protecionismo comercial aplicado aos produtos de origem agropecuária. Essas parcerias foram conquistadas a partir do poder de mercado das empresas brasileiras, tanto como compradoras (monopsônio regional de originação, oferta de crédito, orientação técnica, insumos e armazenagem), quanto como vendedoras (eficiência logística e ganhos de escala). Argumenta-se neste trabalho que a Cooxupé compartilha de todas essas vantagens, com um elemento adicional: Os mercados consumidores de café são muito mais exigentes e diversificados, o produto em si apresenta maior especificidade e variabilidade, além de que nossos concorrentes apresentam menor capacidade de enfrentar as novas demandas em um contexto de crescente preocupação com os efeitos do aquecimento global. Investiga-se sua oportunidade de verticalização e internacionalização comercial.

O cooperativismo mundial possui grande expressividade socioeconômica, são 1,2 bilhão de cooperados, 280 milhões de postos de trabalho gerados, 3 milhões de cooperativas presente em 150 países. A grande relevância do cooperativismo não tem sido suficiente para amenizar os graves problemas causados pela concentração de renda e riqueza no mundo. Na tentativa de combater as mazelas das desigualdades sociais e a exploração do trabalho, a Organização Internacional do Trabalho (OIT) desenvolveu o conceito de trabalho decente, como uma estratégia para amenizar os efeitos perversos da precarização do trabalho e das desigualdades sociais. Diante deste contexto, o objetivo do artigo é analisar os empregos gerados pelas cooperativas e empresas não cooperativas, a luz do conceito do trabalho decente, em Turvo/SC, no período de 2006 a 2018. A pesquisa foi realizada em fontes bibliográficas e em coleta de dados na RAIS (Relação Anual de Informações Sociais), além de informações disponibilizadas pelo IBGE (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística) e Atlas Brasil. Os resultados apontam que as cooperativas estão presentes nas principais atividades econômicas do município, o trabalho gerado pelas cooperativas é mais qualificado, quando comparados as empresas não cooperativas. Embora existam desafios a serem superados, tais como: as mulheres têm melhores níveis salariais quando comparados ao setor não cooperativo e ocupam quase a metade dos postos de trabalho gerados nas cooperativas pesquisadas, contudo, ainda permanecem desigualdades salariais em relação aos rendimentos dos homens.

Este estudo teve por objetivo geral descrever o atual cenário do cooperativismo no estado desde seu surgimento até 2021. Tal objetivo foi traçado com a finalidade de responder a seguinte problemática de pesquisa: Qual o cenário atual do cooperativismo em Mato Grosso desde seu surgimento em 1973 até 2021? Esta pesquisa se demonstrou importante no sentido de propor uma descrição e posteriormente uma discussão sobre a evolução do cooperativismo em um estado onde o agronegócio é extremamente dominante do ponto de vista econômico e agrícola. Como parte dos resultados foi encontrado que o cooperativismo está em plena ascensão no estado de Mato Grosso, porém ainda necessita transpor obstáculos que vão desde a adesão de novos cooperados e estabelecimentos rurais até a diversificação destes com base nos ramos e segmentos do cooperativismo.

El presente artículo indaga en los significados sobre la inclusión laboral de la comunidad de trabajo “Locooperativa”, iniciativa de trabajo asociativo en salud mental de Santiago de Chile. Mediante un abordaje cualitativo se discuten las aproximaciones críticas de sus participantes sobre los mecanismos de adscripción y naturalización del trabajo asalariado, estableciendo un rechazo a las exigencias de la producción capitalista como formas de “trabajo cuerdo”. Frente a ello, los(as) integrantes de la “Locooperativa” promueven el derecho a “trabajar como loco”, una concepción alternativa del trabajo asociado a una participación proactiva, creativa y horizontal en el ámbito laboral, con base en la valoración de la democracia económica, la solidaridad y el trabajo colectivo. Se concluye que estas orientaciones implican un cuestionamiento hacia las formas tradicionales de inclusión laboral, configurando nuevos sentidos en el mundo del trabajo desde el cooperativismo en la sociedad contemporánea.

Este trabajo pretende aportar elementos sustanciosos para la reflexión y discusión en ámbitos de interés. Aborda una temática poco o nada tratada en esferas del cooperativismo, en congresos o encuentros, en especial en la educación cooperativa, cual es el tema de la política en las cooperativas y la construcción del poder político cooperativo, entendida ésta como categoría de la ciencia política, no como política-partidaria. El abordaje temático discute la necesidad de incentivar la conciliación entre la ciencia política y el cooperativismo, como campos del saber y accionar complementarios en bien del pueblo. Abordamos desde un punto de vista político: La construcción del poder político cooperativo como factor de incidencia y de competitividad en el mercado y ante los gobiernos.

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a satisfação com o atendimento de associados homossexuais de acordo com o respeito. O estudo se desenvolveu como uma pesquisa exploratória, com abordagem qualitativa. Foram realizadas 63 entrevistas com homens homossexuais associados a uma cooperativa, eles responderam cinco questões abertas referentes a sua experiência enquanto associado, e questões fechadas sobre satisfação, respeito, seu relacionamento com a cooperativa e dados sociodemográficos. Os resultados mostram que grande parte dos associados se sentem satisfeitos e respeitados, porém ainda existem lacunas que merecem a atenção das cooperativas. Este estudo mostrou que existe uma forte relação entre a satisfação e o respeito percebido pelos associados. As entrevistas mostraram que muitos associados não se sentem como membros da cooperativa em função de piadas feitas pelos funcionários. Esse estudo apresenta uma discussão inicial sobre a temática e indica caminhos para novas pesquisas.

El Cooperativismo como modelo socioeconómico, con sus organizaciones, tiene cada vez más la potencialidad de influir en la atención de las necesidades de las comunidades, especialmente en la región latinoamericana. En Ecuador, la presencia de cooperativas en el sector de ahorro y crédito es notoria desde el punto de vista económico y financiero, sin embargo, la evidencia de que el componente social no se maneja en el mismo nivel, con base a estudios previos, constituye el principal antecedente para el desarrollo de este trabajo que muestra una reflexión analítica y sistémica al respecto. Se realizó un análisis sobre la situación del sector cooperativo nacional que permita reforzar el rol de las cooperativas como empresas socioeconómicas con extraordinarias capacidades de lograr ese cambio al que aspiran las familias, las comunidades y la nación. La investigación desarrollada es de carácter teórico y analítico. Se obtuvo un análisis sistémico con ciertas recomendaciones en relación con la superación de las problemáticas presentes en las cooperativas de ahorro y crédito ecuatorianas, de cara a gestionar integralmente los componentes sociales y económicos, premisa fundamental para lograr los resultados que se esperan de su actividad a nivel local y nacional.

The constructivist approach to community development recognizes the transformative and innovative role of the social aspect (social capital) of social economic organizations, to promote inclusive processes of resource mobilization and management of the commons. The research identifies relational strengths and weaknesses in rural productive organizations of the social economy of the province of Manabí-Ecuador, through the assessment of social capital. The methodology applied to assess social capital incorporates components of the institutional, cognitive and structural dimension, in three areas of analysis: territorial context, profile of the organization and relationship between members. At the territorial level, the limited coverage of public services affects all organizations, makes living conditions precarious, makes relationships difficult and confines development opportunities. The assessment of the organizational profile shows strengths to establish roles, rules and procedures and weakness in the construction of networks with external actors. For the relationship between members, the difficulty lies in maintaining a shared vision and sanctioning opportunistic behavior. Therefore, identifying the differences in the relational conditions of organizations, according to the level of social capital endowment, it is useful to guide the formulation of practical intervention strategies that promote local development through the strengthening of associations and cooperatives.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a global priority in terms of commitment to the responsible development of society. This paper focuses on beekeeping as a strategic sector of the Argentine economy due to its important socio-economic and environmental impacts. The objective of this research is to analyze the practices of beekeeping entities in their alignment with the achievement of the SDGs (with a focus on SDGs 5, 8, 9, 12 and 17), paying special attention to the differential contribution of companies with cooperative formula. It focuses on actions related to work organization, production, innovation and market insertion. To this end, we used variable significance analysis for 2x2 matrices and multivariate factor analysis of multiple correspondences. The results obtained show that there is a positive alignment between the practices of beekeeping sector entities and SDG 5, SDG 12 and SDG 17, with a differential and positive trend for organizations with a cooperative formula. However, the results also show the future challenges faced by the sector, especially with regard to SDGs 8 and 9. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cooperativism as a socioeconomic model, with its organizations, increasingly has the potential to influence the needs of communities, especially in the Latin American region. In Ecuador, the presence of cooperatives in the savings and credit sector is notorious from the economic and financial point of view, however, the evidence that the social component is not handled at the same level, based on previous studies, constitutes the main background for the development of this work that shows an analytical and systemic reflection on the matter. An analysis of the situation of the national cooperative sector was carried out to reinforce the role of cooperatives as socioeconomic enterprises with extraordinary capacities to achieve the change to which families, communities and the nation aspire. The research developed is of a theoretical and analytical nature. A systemic analysis was obtained with certain recommendations in relation to overcoming the problems present in Ecuadorian savings and credit cooperatives, with a view to integrally managing the social and economic components, a fundamental premise for achieving the results expected from their activity at the local and national level.

El presente estudio tiene como objetivo principal analizar sobre qué ODS se centran los artículos que analizan el turismo a través del cooperativismo, se realiza un análisis bibliométrico de la producción científica que está publicada en la WoS y en SCOPUS sobre cooperativismo y turismo, obteniendo resultados de cómo ha evolucionado el número de publicaciones, sus principales autores, los más citados, las principales instituciones y países, así como las palabras y líneas de investigación que suelen tratar. Posteriormente, se complementa con una profunda revisión bibliográfico de los artículos que también contienen la palabra ODS para destacar los objetivos que suelen ser desarrollados por los mismos y, de esta forma, poner de manifiesto en qué medida, el turismo, a través del movimiento cooperativa, está contribuyendo a alcanzar los ODS. Se concluye que esta línea de investigación está en sus comienzos y que parte de los artículos consultados relacionan el cooperativismo con la economía colaborativa, basada en la aplicación de las plataformas tecnológicas al turismo, sin hacer referencia a la economía social.

O presente trabalho teve por objetivo investigar o processo de sucessão rural na visão de cooperativas, patriarcas e sucessores na Região Cone-sul do Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul. Foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa descritiva, utilizando a coleta de dados primários em duas etapas: (1) entrevista semiestruturada com quatro representantes de cooperativas agroindustriais que atuam na região; e (2) questionário aplicado a 16 patriarcas e 20 possíveis sucessores, totalizando 40 participantes. Como resultados, observou-se que todos os elos estão preocupados com o processo de sucessão. As cooperativas reconhecem o seu papel nesse processo, promovendo ações para lidar com esse desafio. Apesar disso, parece que as ações ainda têm sido incipientes e precisam ser expandidas, principalmente para pequenas localidades, visto que os patriarcas e sucessores pesquisados não têm conhecimento de projetos por parte das cooperativas. Ademais, foram identificados os principais conflitos dentro do processo sucessório, os quais os entrevistados afirmam estarem conseguindo lidar positivamente.

En este estudio se ha utilizado la base de datos de publicaciones científicas Scopus para analizar los artículos que tienen como propósito la difusión del conocimiento en el ámbito del cooperativismo de ahorro y crédito como campo de investigación. El análisis se basa técnicas bibliométricas aplicadas sobre una base de 311 documentos que han sido publicados entre los años 1923 y 2022. Dentro de los hallazgos del estudio se encuentra que países desarrollados como Estados Unidos, Alemania y España contribuyen de manera importante a la productividad científica en este campo. También destaca el caso de Ecuador como el único país latinoamericano que se encuentra dentro de los 10 países con mayor cantidad de publicaciones. Por su parte, a nivel de autores son principalmente investigadores iberoamericanos los que evidencian mayor productividad e impacto, así como la Revista de Estudios Cooperativos REVESCO es la fuente que mayor cantidad de publicaciones aporta en lo referido al cooperativismo de ahorro y crédito. Asimismo, este tema de investigación se relaciona de manera importante con conceptos tales como: economía social, microfinanzas y sostenibilidad financiera.

La gestión del mundo rural ya sea en sociedades entre privados, en entes gubernamentales o en instituciones cooperativas son ámbitos sobredeterminados por la masculinidad. Este trabajo analiza las presencias femeninas en uno de esos territorios: la Cooperativa Agropecuaria de La Paz Limitada (CALP), de la ciudad de La Paz, provincia de Entre Ríos, desde 1950 a 1974. Esta cooperativa nos permitió acceder a sus libros de memorias y balances, de actas y asambleas, así como realizar entrevistas a actores que participaron del periodo estudiado.

On one hand, this research is framed within the results of two Spanish public housing interventions, and on the other, the beginnings of an extended collaborative housing model on the island of Gran Canaria. The research analyzes collaborative housing and its relationship with the management mechanisms that can or should accompany public policies for housing, by observing the cases of Andalusia and Barcelona, both inspired by Uruguay's cooperative housing model. After studying the case on the island of Gran Canaria, the need for housing policies that incorporate mutual aid, transfer of use, cooperativism, or citizen participation is proposed.

Many family farmers use cooperativism as a tool to strengthen productive environments and envision productive diversification as an income generation strategy. This study analyzed the diversification project promoted by CAPUL in 2020, in the municipality of Arinos - MG, focusing on the production of free-range birds (Gallus gallus domesticus) to supply the demand for school meals and local commerce. The objective of this study was to analyze the economic and social impacts that the project generated in the lives of family farmers and elucidate the relevance of cooperativism for the promotion of productive diversification, as well as to highlight the detachments and obstacles that existed during the execution of the project. The self-administered questionnaire was used as the primary data source, considering a universe of 14 family farmers. The data were obtained through qualitative and quantitative instruments and were tabulated using the Microsoft Excel program. For descriptive statistical analysis of the results, a cluster analysis was used with the hierarchical method by the Ward model. It is concluded with this research that the project entitled Frango Caipirão CAPUL caused impacts on the lives of family farmers and that the cooperative, through its ATER actions, exerted influences on the social and economic reproduction of the participants of that study, contributing to the strengthening family farming.

This article aims to present a portrait of cooperativism in Brazil, from the years of 2010 to 2018. Starting from a historical perspective, we describe the different branches of cooperativism and then analyze the context of the Brazilian cooperative movement, taking into account some of the main characteristics that make it possible to draw a profile of the movement, such as: number of cooperatives, number of cooperative members and total jobs generated. The data were segmented by line of business, according to the classification proposed by the Organization of Brazilian Cooperatives (OCB). As for the methodological procedures, the study was defined as bibliographic-descriptive and qualitative; bibliographic-descriptive, since it was based on the organization and analysis of existing materials, describing the properties of the cooperative phenomenon; and qualitative, since the aim was to interpret meanings, not seeking regularities, but the understanding of the object studied. Finally, from the interpretation of the information gathered, it was possible to perceive the importance of cooperativism in the Brazilian context, not only in terms of facing specific issues, but also in relation to its potential for expansion and as a viable alternative for the social and economic inclusion of the most vulnerable strata, capable of expanding the democratic frontiers to the organizational field.
