Tecnologias de informações em sistemas de gestão para pequenos produtores rurais : uma análise do fomento das instituições agropecuárias em Sergipe

Abstract

The agricultural sector in Brazil has a great impact on the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and job creation. In this work, the role of small farmers in the development of the sector and its relationship with technology stands out, given that in Sergipe 77% of the 93 thousand establishments are made up of small farmers. The study aims to analyse the contribution of agricultural institutions in Sergipe in encouraging the use of management systems by small farmers. Among the specific objectives, include understanding the role of these institutions in encouraging the use of technologies in the field and the relationship between small producers and institutions in the face of the aid offered. The research is qualitative and descriptive, and uses documentary research as a data collection strategy, accessing sources such as official internet pages and journalistic websites. Based on the results achieved, it is highlighted that the CNA and EMBRAPA institutions lead efforts to promote access to technology in family farming in Sergipe, however, when it comes to encouraging management technologies for small farmers, agricultural institutions of Sergipe do not treat the topic with relevance in their actions.
