From dialogue to extensionist experience in the Territories of Sisal and Northern Piemonte of Itapicuru by FETRAF-BA

Abstract

This work is configured as an experience of family farming through dialogues and activities in rural communities in the territories of Sisal and Piemonte Norte de Itapicuru, through the Federation of Rural Workers in Family Agriculture in Bahia (FETRAF-BA) - Senhor do Bonfim Unit. The present work relates the experience in the communities and the municipalities of Senhor do Bonfim, Pindobaçu, Ponto Novo and Monte Santo, focusing on different areas of rural production, ranging from effective monitoring of technical assistance for agriculture, livestock, with a focus on environmental improvements and entrepreneurship to the process of organizing and carrying out social activities in communities. The report addresses the actions in a social context of popular communication and family farming, through extension activities and accompanied technical visits, during the supervised internship. The activities developed provided an understanding of the work dynamics of an organization focused on extension actions. Therefore, jointly, it was possible to understand the ways in which FETRAF-BA technicians approach and systematize ideas in communities. The result of this experience reflected in the practical understanding of extension techniques and the importance of approaching, dialoguing and building knowledge of extension activities for the improvement and organization of rural communities.
