This project intends to offer technical and scientific support to Secretariat for Family Farms and Cooperatives (Secretaria de Agricultura Familiar e de Cooperativismo, SAF) of the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (Mapa). In the project are foreseen analyses of the Pronaf Release Statement (Declaração de Aptidão ao Pronaf, DAP) database and other correlated databases which are to be made available over the span of the cooperation. The DAP is a legal instrument to attest that a producer qualifies as a small farmer, and the DAP is required for access to public policies, such as the Brazilian National Program to Strengthen Family Farming (Programa Nacional de Fortalecimento da Agricultura Familiar, Pronaf) and the Program for Food Acquisition (Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos, PAA), among others. The main focus of the cooperation agreement is the application of spatial-analysis techniques and procedures to the tabular database on family farming, thus producing new contributions and results for the SAF to support innovation. On its end, the Secretariat may, at a later stage, incorporate these data to the Observatory for Brazilian Agriculture (Observatório da Agropecuária Brasileira), a platform maintained by Mapa with the aim of integrating data made available by several industries and institutions which integrate Brazilian agriculture.
