A difusão do meio técnico-científico-informacional na produção avícola no município de Pocinhos (PB)

Abstract

This monograph aims to understand the diffusion of the technical-scientific-informational medium in the poultry production of the municipality of Pocinhos - PB. To do this, we used as main methodological procedures: bibliographical review, field work, semi-structured interviews, as well as secondary data collection with the annual report of the Associação Brasileira de Proteína Animal (ABPA) and the Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE), to specifically search for Municipal Agricultural Research (1974 to 2016) and Municipal Livestock Research (1974 to 2016). We verified that the industrial integration system constitutes the main diffuser of the objects and actions that are being used in the poultry activity of the study area, which in turn are in consonance with the technical-scientific-informational environment. In this sense, we realize that the poultry companies operating in Pocinhos reproduce themselves in accordance with the presuppositions of the capitalist system of production, since they appropriate the production of the farmers and subordinate these and their properties to increase their industrial productivities through of the monopolization of the territory. On the other hand, we find that this subordination to industrial capital has become a way that family farmers are finding to remain in the countryside. Finally, it should be pointed out that the object systems and production systems for poultry production in the municipality of Pocinhos are being used, mainly to benefit the hegemonic capital, that is, the poultry industries, which in turn are causing the exclusion of farmers who do not fit the productive demands of industrial capital, thus generating a perverse globalization.
