Significance of cultivation of new agricultural management subjects for the development goal of modern agriculture: a perspective review

Along with the industrialization, urbanization and globalization deepening, China’s agriculture faced with the development bottleneck of “who farming and how farming”. Back to the founding of new China era, the traditional agricultural organizations are difficult to achieve agricultural modernization, such as farmers’ mutual aid group, agricultural cooperatives, the people’s Commune and family contract management. Therefore, it is imperative to cultivate and develop new agricultural management subjects for the goal of Rural Revitalization and agricultural modernization in China. A review combined with related literatures, the paper combs and refines the mechanism of different types of new agricultural management subjects to promote modern agriculture. This is of great significance for eliminating misunderstandings of new agricultural management subjects and allowing full play to their driving roles in China. The paper elaborates and proposes to vigorously promote the development of new agricultural management subjects such as professional households, family farms, farmers’ professional cooperatives, farmer’ shareholding cooperation and agricultural enterprises, which can promote the specialization, institutionalization, organization and marketization of agriculture, and effectively overcome the problems of low efficiency, high cost and weak effectiveness of traditional agricultural operation organization, so as to speed up the process of agricultural modernization in China.

Research on the Relationship between Rural Financial Exclusion and Agricultural Modernization

The dependence of agricultural modernization on finance is strengthened. What is the impact of this strengthening on Rural Financial Exclusion? This paper used variation coefficient method to construct the index of rural financial exclusion, analyzed the agricultural modernization process score and the index of rural financial exclusion by the Pearson correlation coefficient. The results showed that Rural Financial Exclusion hindered the development of agricultural modernization, and the construction of agricultural modernization is an effective means to eliminate the rural financial exclusion. The above conclusions are obtained on the premise of the rapid development of Internet Finance and the change in the form of expression of rural financial exclusion.

CERRADO, REVOLUÇÃO VERDE E A EVOLUÇÃO NO CONSUMO DE AGROTÓXICOS

This article has as main objective to understand the production process of occupation in the areas of Cerrado in the post-1960 and printed social and environmental impacts from this development model, the state of Goias. For this, first make a general characterization of the Cerrado, considering their biological diversity and the degradation process suffered historically. Then we analyze the agricultural modernization process and its relationship to the process of social and environmental degradation of Goias Cerrado and finally, to understand the recent motion characteristics Agribusiness strengthening in the areas of Cerrado, highlighting the growth in use of pesticides, one of the bases of this process. Methodologically, text the construction is based on a detailed benchmark survey, from which we selected some authors who believe it is essential to support the understanding and analysis of the historical occupation of the Cerrado by modern agriculture. The results show, generally, the harmfulness of the model based on the parameters in agribusiness to the environment and to society in general. The increased use of pesticides, specifically, has caused irreversible environmental impacts to the Cerrado and its people.

Effect of the Cymbopogon citratus Infusion on the Activity of Acetylcholinesterase Enzyme and on the Redox Profile in Farmers’ Erythrocytes

Agrochemicals were more prominent in 1960, marked due to the agricultural modernization process. As a result of this widespread use for food production, there was also an increase in cases of intoxication caused by these agents which made it necessary to search for alternative therapies for agricultural workers. Thus, considering that phytochemical characterization revealed the presence of antioxidants in Cymbopogon citratus extract, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of this plant infusion on the enzyme acetylcholinesterase activity (AChE) and on the redox response in farmers’ erythrocytes. These erytrocytes were processed and subjected to treatment with the Cymbopogon citratus infusion (5, 10, 25 and 50 g/L). In these samples the following were determined: the AChE enzyme activity, the levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), protein carbonyls (CPs) and reduced glutathione (GSH). In general, it was discovered that the inhibition of AChE activity is negative regarding to the increase of protein carbonyl levels and positive regarding the GSH levels. In addition, Cymbopogon citratus infusions could not even reverse this inhibition or the high levels of TBARS and CPs. On the other hand, levels of GSH were increased by infusions demonstrating the increased antioxidant activity in rural workers’ erythrocytes.

Pesticides: A Perspective of Scientific Production in West of Bahia

The use of pesticides has intensified with agricultural modernization process, triggered by the Green Revolution, which brought about changes in the production system, resulting in high social costs, environmental and public health. Brazil is the world's largest consumer of pesticides and assesses that this market will grow even more in the near future. Given the risk that pesticides pose, it was found that there is an urgent need to intensify the studies, as are scarce research in the Northeast and especially in western Bahia. This research aimed to evaluate the scientific literature on pesticides in of Bahia. Therefore, publications consultation was made in the database Portal.periodicos.Capes with the keywords West of and Pesticides. The results show that the number of worldwide publications has been growing over the years, representing 98% of the total, while Brazil has only 2% in of Bahia was not found publication. There are many challenges in front of the dimension that the theme pesticide offers. Thus, priorities and strategies for research should be defined, seeking to boost scientific productivity in an attempt to make changes to help chart a way to sustainable development.

Research on the Development Trend of Contemporary Urbanization of Migrant Workers and Health Factors Comprehensive Evaluation System Building Methods under Urbanization Process Background

In this paper, we conduct literature research on the development trend of contemporary urbanization of migrant workers and the health factors comprehensive evaluation system building methods under urbanization process background. It can be considered that citizenship refers to the process by which farmers acquire and apply the basic qualifications and abilities of the citizens, adapt to the city and possess the basic qualities of a citizen in the course of transforming the citizens. Therefore, the citizenization runs through the whole process of agricultural modernization, peasants 'non-agriculturalization and rural urbanization. The realization of citizenization is the fundamental sign of the end of the process of farmers' transition to modern citizens. Under this basis, this paper proposes the novel idea of the contemporary urbanization of migrant workers and the health factors which will enrich the current research result.

The role of biotechnology in agricultural production and food supply

Over the past several decades, technological developments and modernization have grown concomitantly.For example, advances in biotechnology have been used as a tool to increase food production. Specifically, advances in genetic engineering have made possible the manipulation of crops to increase yield, guaranteeing food supplies for the increasing world population. However, transgenic crops have not been well received by all members of society, and there is still uncertainty about their social benefits and the possible implications to human health. Additionally, the benefits of agricultural modernization have favored only developed countries, whereas people living in developing and underdeveloped countries suffer rampant hunger, malnutrition and poverty. Hence, there is a necessity to create policies guaranteeing that the advances in biotechnology are translated into better agricultural practices that can meet the ever-growing food demand. The agricultural modernization process, however, must consider that sustainable development is imperative in modern societies and that there is an increasing desire for consuming so-called organic foods based on the idea that these foods have a higher quality and stimulate regional agricultural production. This review discusses the role of biotechnology throughout history in relation to agricultural production and the development of the food sector.

AS ESTRATÉGIAS DE REPRODUÇÃO SOCIAL DOS AGRICULTORES FAMILIARES DAS COMUNIDADES RURAIS DO MUNICÍPIO DE CATALÃO (GO)

doi: 10.12957/geouerj.2016.20304 The rural areas in Brazil have undergone sweeping changes from mainly the 1970s, in response to the agricultural modernization process. This occurred unequally, favoring products for export, the South, Southeast and, subsequently, Midwest of Brazil and the large and medium farmers. In this context, the smallholder farmers were excluded of modernizing process, having employed various strategies which allow their social reproduction. With de purpose to understand the main characteristics of family farming, giving emphasis to undertaken social reproduction strategies, this paper is proposed. Empirically, there was focus to family farmers in rural communities Custodia, Ribeirao, Sao Domingos and Tambioco in the municipality of Catalao (GO). For the development of this study, there have been literature review; desk research and empirical research in rural communities Custodia (inhabited by 54 families), Ribeirao (60 families), Sao Domingos (51 families) and Tambioco (51 families), being applied, respectively, 19 (35.18%), 21 (35.00%), 17 (33.33%) and 18 (35.29%) interview forms with family farmers residing in these localities.

Agrotóxicos e a Intervenção do Capital na Agricultura

O desenvolvimento da indústria química e a intensificação do desenvolvimento industrial de tipo capitalista impôs, no Brasil, a submissão da agricultura à indústria, gerando um novo modelo de produção agrícola, com uso massivo de agrotóxicos. O processo de modernização agrícola consumidor de agrotóxicos surgiu com a promessa de aumento significativo da produção de alimentos e a erradicação da fome. Todavia, o (ab)uso dessas substâncias geram riscos de poluição e contaminação. A cultura desenvolvimentista não enxerga os limites do planeta, e isso pode se revelar extremamente ameaçador para o homem e seu meio. Não há ética quanto ao uso de agrotóxicos. Há somente a ética do progresso ilimitado, do crescimento econômico.

Chinese Rural Comprehensive Reform: Theoretical Innovation, Key Contradictions and Countermeasures

As a systematic project, Chinese rural comprehensive reform (hereinafter referred to as “the reform”) involved multiple dimensions such as rural governance, economy, culture, society and ecology, which laid a solid foundation for the overall reform in China. Western rural development theory had been proved to be insufficient to support Chinese rural reform. Therefore, theoretical innovation became urgent in the fields of rural governance, government functions, public finance and rural-urban integration etc. In recent years, Chinese rural comprehensive reform had been adjusting itself to the requirements of the “new normal”. And during the process of agricultural modernization, the bottlenecks included the contradictory relationships between reform, development and overall stability, agricultural simplification and industrial diversification, economic development and environmental protection, rapid development of urban areas and slow progress of rural areas, grassroots governance and democratic supervision etc. Proper countermeasures would help to settle the above contradictions.

INFLUENCE OF HUMAN CAPITAL QUALITY ON THE PROCESS OF AGRICULTURAL FARM MODERNIZATION

The objective of this study is assessing the influence that human capital quality, has on the agricultural farm modernization process. The study was conducted amongst 62 owners of farmlands. The choice of control group was deliberate. The group comprised of farmers, who in last 5 years have had their farms modernized, or have been getting financial support given under CAP. The study has shown that vocational qualifications majorly influence their willingness to use subsidies, provided by EU and accordingly, the agricultural farm modernization process. What differentiated the study group from other polish farmers, was their level of formal education, as well as possessed agricultural qualifications. The group’s farmers were also relatively young people. As much as 84% of respondents are farmers not older than 45. As part of the investment, they have been purchasing more efficient agricultural equipment. These investments with no doubt, will prove effective in improving economic situation of these farms, and will strengthen their position on market.

Estudo da evolução dos níveis de adoção de tecnologia nos municípios do estado do Rio de Janeiro, no período de 1970 a 1995

The purpose of this research was to analyze the intensity, the evolution and behavior of the process of agricultural modernization in the municipalities of the State of Rio de Janeiro, in the period from 1970 to 1995. It was used the techniques of factor analysis applied to a set of variables related to the use of modern technologies. The results enabled to conclude that the best indicators of modernization of the agriculture are associated to the municipalities of Teresopolis, Sumidouro and Engenheiro Paulo de Frontin, that end the analyzed period with the best gross ratings of technological development. This result must be associated to the predominance, in these regions, of a structure of family smallholdings, dedicated to an activity intensive in technologies, the olericulture.

The structural heterogeneity of family farming in Brazil

Regional and productive inequality may stem from the agricultural modernization process, in which some agents are able to incorporate and absorb technological content, while others are excluded, not only from the innovative organizational environment, but also from learning processes and the dissemination of new production techniques and knowledge. This paper analyses family farming, by making comparisons in regional terms and by groups of producers using high, medium and low technology. It also calculates the productive inequality index (Gini coefficient of gross income) of the north, north-east, centre-west, south-east and south regions. In view of the regional differentiation, the size of enterprises and the various levels of technological growth, public policies should focus on reducing the disparities that hamper the dissemination of new knowledge and productivity growth among economic agents, leading to greater productive inclusion.

The Research of Urbanization, Industrialization and Agricultural Modernization's Effect on Food Security

Due to its large population, especially with the development of society and economy, China is in growing demand of food even it has long achieved food self-sufficiency. Food security relates to the national security, the problem of food security has been the focus of China. China’s industrialization, urbanization, and agricultural modernization process has a certain impact on food security, based on the empirical analysis of the correlation of the industrialization, urbanization and agricultural modernization. It’s said the industrialization and agricultural modernization has a positive effect on improving the level of food security, while the urbanization does the contrary. Under this circumstance, we propose to improve the industry nurturing agriculture, to promote agriculture with industry, science, to promote the urbanization level, and to improve the level of agricultural modernization.

The Applications of AEI System for Cultivation of Professional Farmer in Agricultural Modernization Process

In the process of agricultural modernization, agriculture will realize its socialized production, and its specialization, collaboration and new technologies in the agriculture industry will give birth to a new group of professional farmers, young farmers will be the main part of those professional farmers. At present, the phenomenon that agricultural labors are successors is becoming more serious, the scientific and cultural quality of farmers is low, and theirs market-oriented awareness is not strong enough, they are lacking of a sense of dignity. Those distress human capitals make it urgent to strengthen the cultivation of young professional farmers ,to form a social environment which is conducive for cultivating young professional farmers ,to build a young professional farmers cultivation and to create the conditions for the conditions for the cultivation of young professional farmers.

Strategies on Accelerating Agricultural Modernization-Taking Qijiang District as an Example

In order to study the causes of weak agricultural base in China, the income gap between urban and rural residents, agriculture and the obvious insufficiency in agriculture, rural areas and farmers, we analyze focal and difficult points in the simultaneous development between Chinese industrialization, informatization, urbanization and agricultural modernization and seek for ways and strategies to promote the modernization of agriculture process. This study takes Qijiang district of Chongqing as an example, from five aspects to discuss the ways and strategies of advancing the process of agricultural modernization; they are the development of the profitable agriculture, the reform of rural property rights, management rights and land ticket, rural circulation and financing, government investment and support and the improvement of the production and living conditions in rural areas. We hope these can accelerate the construction of agricultural modernization, promote sustained and rapid growth in farmers' income, constantly improve the production and living conditions in rural areas and promote the simultaneous development of industrialization, informatization, urbanization and agricultural modernization.

MAPPING VULNERABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTEXTS OF HEALTH PROMOTION IN RURAL VALLEY JAGUARIBE, CEARÁ, BRASIL, 2011.

Background and Aims: Brazil has long adopted an agro-export model, intensifying agricultural expansion in all regions. The impacts are felt differently in each region, since those cover quite diverse biomes. At the national level, the northeast region is one of the poorest in the country yet has recently attracted investments for the purpose of promoting economic development. Such investments are focused on fruit production for export resulting in critical social and environmental impacts. Methods:The present project that looks into the epidemiological impact of pesticide contamination, held a workshop with communities focusing on the mapping of socio-environmental vulnerability and approaches to environmental health promotion. Through the use of a matrix, each community reported on aspects in their environment that they considered as promoting and, or threatening their lives and their territories. As such, they were able to record their perceptions and observations concerning changes taking place in their territories pointing out a variety of related factors. To facilitate the presentation of these perceptions the community drew a map depicting the dynamics of community life, featuring the main factors present in the matrix. Results: The results showed a perception of communities about the changes that are happening in the territory. Hence, the process of agricultural modernization leads a re-structuring of the social space contributing to the deterioration of various social, economic, cultural and environmental factors which impact the health of residents and workers.An increase in domestic and urban violence, alcoholism, drug use and prostitution are other conditions that ensued. Other situations that were cited were work-related accidents, cases of poisoning, acute and chronic exposure to pesticides by the workers. Conclusions: Strengthening production models that include an agro-ecological perspective was presented as a possible route to social and environmental sustainability and to the promotion of human and environmental health in the region.

A dinâmica migratória do Paraná: o caso da região Sudoeste ao longo do século XX

O Sudoeste paranaense, ao longo do século XX, teve uma dinâmica migratória em que se podem identificar três períodos distintos de evolução demográfica, por meio de um processo migratório que exerceu papel fundamental na configuração espacial: entre 1900 e 1940, a região exibia uma população dispersa e rarefeita, circunscrita em torno da econômica de subsistência; de 1940 a 1970, ocorreu a expansão acelerada da fronteira agrícola estadual, que atraiu milhares de trabalhadores e seus familiares de outras partes do país, acarretando, simultaneamente, ocupação e apropriação extensivas e intensivas; entre 1970 e 2000, a inserção do Estado do Paraná no processo de modernização da agricultura, em que o agro se tornou subordinado ao industrial, impôs uma nova divisão social e territorial do trabalho ao Sudoeste paranaense, promovendo uma rápida e drástica diminuição populacional das áreas rurais, o que estimulou vigorosamente a urbanização e provocou a formação de imensas correntes emigratórias que transpuseram as fronteiras estaduais. Com isso, o objetivo desse trabalho é analisar essa dinâmica migratória, configurada em três períodos espaço-temporais, na região Sudoeste paranaense. A partir de trabalho de campo exploratório, feito em 2008, com a realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas, análise bibliográfica, documental e censitária (especialmente em Censos Demográficos), busca-se compreender como se processou, ao longo do século XX, a dinâmica migratória por meio da atração, do reordenamento e da expulsão de população do/no Sudoeste paranaense.
