Well, my name is Iracélia. I am an agricultural technician. I am a past pupil of the Goias Agricultural Family School and a representative of the Association of Parents and Students.
The AFS came into being with the proposal to help young people continue their studies while still linked to family, land and community.
We discovered that the rural youth in Maranhão are facing lots of challenges and
uncertainties between “leaving and staying” on the land. Among the difficulties in
remaining on the land are the limitations imposed by the restraints placed on land
tenure, low family income and consequently poor investment in production; as well as
the difficulty of accessing public policies.
Rural youth face various challenges in attaining their aims to improve their living
standard and gain access to public policies such as: Education, Healthcare, ATER,
My name is Alan Kilson. I am twenty-one years old and I am a young farmer. My reality was to leave and go to the city in search of my autonomy. But this changed when in 2001 with the introduction of a campaign to strengthen family agriculture, in which we would learn about agriculture and how to care for Nature.
Since the beginning of times, women have always been treated unfairly, suffering from inequality, isolation and violence.
Unfortunately, this is show by statistics and by our own history. This happens through machismo without limits, which does not accept gender equality, and leaves some women with their hands tied.
My name is Daniel. I am a student at a family agriculture school in the State of Espirito Santo. I am greatly concerned with the environment and agricultural production.
There was no one in my family who had graduated from a university! None of my friends or even acquaintances have a higher education! No one on my street, in my community!!
I hoped one day to be a Psychologist.
Many people tried to discourage me saying that University was not for the poor, I kept insisting! Where I studied, no classmate tried the university entrance exam.
