SUMMARY:
The Small Farmers' Movement (MPA) was born in 1996 in Rio Grande do Sul State in Brazil at the height of the implementation of neoliberal policies in Brazil. It was observed that the states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina suffered climatic adversity at the time, as well as a crisis of identity and representativeness, since the syndical model of the time no longer represented the working class of the countryside as he did not dialogue horizontally with the trade union leaders linked to FETAG (Federation of Agricultural Workers) and the Rural Department of the Central Workers' Union (CUT).
On December 12th and 13th, 1988, in Brasilia, the MPA was institutionalized nationally with the presence of leaders from seven states, Rio Grande do Sul, Espírito Santo, Rondônia, Mato Grosso do Sul, Santa Catarina, Paraná and Piaui. This fact became important for the history of the MPA, because it occurs because the leaders perceive that the difficulties in the field as the impoverishment and the marginalization were present in all States, but with different characteristics of exploitation by the capitalism in the field, fruit of the model neoliberal movement implanted in America. In this sense, the movement undertakes to study this theme and formulate a new proposal for an agricultural model for the Brazilian field.
The MPA assumes in the peasant plan some immediate tasks to achieve the genetic and food sovereignty of Brazil: - to recover the seeds, breeds and seedlings, in their varieties, diversity and in significant quantities; - to seek and develop popular and replicable techniques for the recovery, storage, conservation and improvement of this genetic base; - to seek and guarantee scientific and technological autonomy in the production and improvement of seeds and genetic material, as well as the necessary research and scientific knowledge; - disseminate the existing experiences aimed at building and rebuilding a culture of redemption, conservation, breeding and multiplication of seeds, breeds and seedlings under peasant popular control the genetic and food sovereignty of Brazil: - to recover the seeds, breeds and seedlings in their varieties, diversity and in significant quantities; - to seek and develop popular and replicable techniques for the recovery, storage, conservation and improvement of this genetic base; - to seek and guarantee scientific and technological autonomy in the production and improvement of seeds and genetic material, as well as the necessary research and scientific knowledge; - disseminate existing experiences in order to build and rebuild a culture of rescue, conservation, breeding and multiplication of seeds, breeds and seedlings under peasant popular control.
The general objective of this study is to systematize the experience that the Small Farmers Movement accumulated in the course of its history in the field of genetic sovereignty, especially the work with the native seeds in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, which generated, besides many debates and advances in the work base the construction of a Heirloom Seed Processing Unit in the State in the year 2015.
