| Abstract | |
This paper intends to describe how the organic agriculture over the years, has been including new producers. Those individuals are motivated to explore new ways to work in the rural life; despite they have many different reasons for doing it. In order to do so, we can analyze the case study in organic producers associations at South of Minas Gerais. There we can find the - neorurais locais (local neorurals)II, which are the individuals that already lived from the work at field, but converted they techniques to the ecological purpose, also the - neorurais forasteiros (foreigner neorurals)II, that arrived from the big urban center areas looking for sustainable and natural lifestyle. The associations selected to the research are located at Serra da Mantiqueira, in the micro-region of Pouso Alegre city. They are: Serras Verdes (city of Córrego do Bom Jesus), Orgânicos da Mantiqueira (city of Gonçalves), APANFÉ- Associação de Produtores de Agricultura Natural de Maria da Fé (Maria da Fé) and ECOMINAS- Associação de Produtores Ecológicos do Sul de Minas (located at Pouso Alegre city, but they consolidate producers from several cities at the region). This paper intends to demonstrate they are many different reasons for each social group to look into the associations, which are far beyond than just a simple business and exchange ideas locus. It also enables the two different groups to stand around them common purposes: the ecological production, and to trade their production fairly but yet, sustainable. Moreover, - be organicII is one of the characteristics that unify those different identities, putting all other contexts aside and giving attention to what really matters: the organic producer, besides their origin and social class (AU) | |
