Item Uso de agrotóxico na agricultura familiar ás margens do rio Pajeú no município de Calumbi no sertão pernambucano(2020) Araújo, Anderson dos Santos; Almeida, Rosa Honorato de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4319299572657528Family agriculture in Brazil accounts for 70% of all food consumed in the domestic market, however, the difficulty of access to information and the lack of technical assistance has promoted the excessive use of pesticides. In Pernambuco, there are about 6,619 tons of pesticides used annually and an average of 1545 cases of intoxication between 2002 and 2014. In view of the above, the objective of the present study was to conduct a survey of the profile of riverine family producers regarding the use of agrochemicals and safety procedures during their use. The study was carried out in the Sertão do Alto Pajeú region of Pernambuco, in the municipality of Calumbi, with family farmers located on the banks of the Pajeú River. The data were collected from the application of an oral questionnaire, subdivided into three themes: 1- Cultures worked; 2- Agrotoxic used and 3- Personal protective equipment. A total of 25 family farmers were interviewed and the choice of farmers was made according to the best profile of family farmer and proximity to the banks of the Pajeú River. This study reveals an important social and environmental problem, which is reproduced in several rural areas of the country, within the context of food production by family agriculture. A significant portion of the farmers interviewed were found to use agrochemicals, which are not recommended for crops and classified as very dangerous to the environment, also highlighting the non-use of IPEs. If these family farmers had the opportunity and technical guidance, access to information and government incentives, the reality presented in this research could be different.
