Resumo: O presente trabalho examina a dinâmica da produção e reprodução social dos arranjos produtivos de mamona, na Região Nordeste do Brasil. A pesquisa fez uso do método survey, entrevistando 50 agricultores, vinculados ao Programa Nacional de Produção e Uso de Biodiesel (2012Biodiesel ( -2015. Resultados mostraram que, apesar de o programa ter potencializado maior adensamento societário, por meio do Selo Combustível Social e do Projeto de Polos de Produção de Biodiesel, os agricultores familiares da Região Nordeste têm enfrentado problemas para transformar a produção de mamona, em grande parte extrativa, em um cultivo organizado, por estarem inseridos em uma agricultura de subsistência, com pouco conhecimento técnico e gerencial. Concluise que a produção do biodiesel pela agricultura familiar somente poderia fomentar a formação de arranjos produtivos locais sustentáveis, caso as ações do PNPB estivessem atreladas a outras políticas sociais, tecnológicas e ambientais.

DYNAMICS OF PRODUCTION AND SOCIAL REPRODUCTION OF PRODUCING CASTOR BEANS LINKED TO NATIONAL PRODUCTION PROGRAM AND BIODIESEL (2012-2015)Abstract: This paper examines the dynamic of production and social reproduction of productive arrangements of castor beans, in the region Northeast of Brazil. The research used the survey method, interviewing 50 farmers, linked to National Program for Production and Use of Biodiesel, Results showed that despite the program have potentiated greater corporate consolidation, through Social Fuel Seal and Project Poles of Biodiesel Production, family farmers in the Northeast Region have faced problems to transform the production of castor, in largely extractive, in an organized cultivation, by being inserted in subsistence agriculture, with little technical and managerial knowledge. It is concluded that biodiesel production by family farmers could only foment the

Resumo: O estudo objetivou examinar a transversalidade de gênero na política de biodiesel, especificamente do Projeto Polos do Programa Nacional de Produção e Uso de Biodiesel. A pesquisa de natureza qualitativa fez uso de entrevistas semiestruturadas com lideranças institucionais, sendo entrevistadas oito pessoas. Na percepção das lideranças, existe uma ausência significativa das mulheres na produção e comercialização das oleaginosas, bem como nos espaços políticos decisórios, em função dos valores culturais e da própria logística operacional do programa, confirmando a limitação deste setor em sedimentar a transversalidade de gênero. Conclui-se que, no âmbito da agricultura agroenergética, as desigualdades de gênero são ainda mais visíveis e 'naturalizadas' , reforçando o viés da política, que demarca lugares segregados para homens e mulheres nos processos produtivos e decisórios.

Abstract:The study aimed at examining the transversality in biodiesel policy, specifically the Poles Project of the National Program of Production and Use of Biodiesel. Qualitative research made use of semi structured interviews with institutional leaders, being interviewed eight people. In the perception of leadership, there is a significant lack of women in the production and marketing of oilseeds, as well as in the political decisionmaking spaces, on the basis of cultural values and own operational logistics program, confirming the limitation of this area in sedimentary gender transversally. It was concluded that, under agro-energetic agriculture, gender inequalities are even more visible and 'naturalized' , reinforcing the bias of the policy, which demarcates segregated places for men and women in production and decision-making.

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.
