Summary
O artigo analisa entraves para a transição agroecológica e adequação às normas de certificação orgânica, em unidades familiares produtoras de leite, a partir do caso de uma central de cooperativas de agricultores familiares, a qual possui 73 propriedades em transição. Os principais entraves identificados derivam da ausência de alternativa para venda do leite orgânico, do desconhecimento dos agricultores sobre normas e técnicas específicas para a produção orgânica, e da falta de apoio técnico e organizacional para geração de alternativas que seriam difíceis de implementar à escala de uma só unidade produtiva. Conclui-se que a precariedade da transição agroecológica colocaria os agricultores em risco, caso se aplicasse com rigor a legislação para a produção orgânica.
Summary translation
The article analyzes barriers to agroecological transition and to the adequacy to organic certification rules, in family milk farming units, from the case of a family farming central cooperative, which has 73 transition properties. The most important identified barriers derive from the absence of an alternative to sell organic milk, from a lack of knowledge of specific organic producing rules and techniques by the farmers and/or from the lack of technical and organizational support to generate alternatives, which would be difficult to implement at the scale of a single organic unit. It concludes that precariousness in agroecological transition would put farmers at risk if the organic production legislation was rigorously applied.
