Social construction of biodiesel production project in the context of poles PNPB: an analysis perceptual

Abstract

The research in question sought to examine the perceptions of representatives
and creators of the National Production and Use of Biodiesel Policy
(PNPB), focusing on the social construction process of the Centers for
Biodiesel Project. Specifically, the objective was to examine the process of social management and governance practices of this project, considering the decision and relational spaces.
Methodically made use of literature and semi-structured interview, with subsequent analysis of content.
The results indicated drift in relations between the local production arrangements and Biodiesel plants.
The Brazilian biodiesel is produced mainly from soybeans, given the reality of farmers, low educational
level, training, capitalization and institutional fragility. It was found consistency between the perception of
socio-institutional leaders and the data from the literature; identifying that, despite the advances of PNPB,
social inclusion goals were not met. wonders about the continuity of the Centers for Biodiesel Project, is for
having achieved your goals or limited human and financial resources. It was concluded that the social construction
of the project was permeated by a productive logic, with limited appreciation of the knowledge and
experiences of farmers, their natural resources, technological, organizational, socio-political and cultural.
