“…Where organizations and certifiers are carrying out health related audits, Moore (2010) cautions that these may only serve to identify and evaluate superficial health and safety indicators rather than assessing health equity. Interestingly, several authors have found that for certain producers, the health benefits of fair trade-especially those related to organic production-are key motivations for leaving conventional production and joining organizations associated with fair and alternative trade (Oelofse et al 2010;Renner and Adamowicz n.d.;Ronchi 2002;Valkila 2009). These findings include producer organizations in Brazil, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Thailand.…”

Although research into fair and alternative trade networks has increased significantly in recent years, very little synthesis of the literature has occurred thus far, especially for social considerations such as gender, health, labor, and equity. We draw on insights from critical theorists to reflect on the current state of fair and alternative trade, draw out contradictions from within the existing research, and suggest actions to help the emancipatory potential of the movement. Using a systematic scoping review methodology, this paper reviews 129 articles and reports that discuss the social dimensions of fair and alternative trade experienced by Southern agricultural producers and workers. The results highlight gender, health, and labor dimensions of fair and alternative trade systems and suggest that diverse groups of producers and workers may be experiencing related inequities. By bringing together issues that are often only tangentially discussed in individual studies, the review gives rise to a picture that suggests that research on these issues is both needed and emerging. We end with a summary of key findings and considerations for future research and action.

“…Driven by increasing demand globally, organic agriculture has grown rapidly in the past decade [3]. Policy makers at the primary end of the food chains must wrestle with the dual objective of reducing poverty and increasing the flow of ecosystem services from rural areas occupied by small scale farmers and/or family farms [4].…”

“…Na agricultura orgânica, os custos com insumos externos geralmente são reduzidos, pois não há uso de pesticidas e fertilizantes minerais, e ocorre aumento considerável da reciclagem de nutrientes, por meio da adubação verde e compostos orgânicos (OELOFSE et al, 2010).…”

A alface é uma das hortaliças mais cultivadas em várias regiões brasileiras e com a crescente demanda de produtos orgânicos pelos consumidores, vários produtores decidiram migrar para o método ecológico de cultivo. O estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a capacidade produtiva da alface sob diferentes tratamentos de lâminas de irrigação e doses de composto orgânico. Utilizaram-se cinco lâminas de irrigação e quatro doses de composto orgânico em um delineamento experimental em blocos inteiramente casualizados, no esquema de parcelas subdivididas e quatro repetições. Os resultados permitiram concluir que: a aplicação dos fatores de produção água e composto orgânico elevaram os níveis médios de produtividade da alface em até 38,3%; a produtividade máxima estimada pode ser obtida com dose 6,3 kg m -2 de composto orgânico; o decréscimo inferior a 6% no nível de produtividade média da alface ao se reduzir em 50% a lâmina de irrigação aplicada demonstra que este fator de produção, além de não ter sido limitante, possibilita o uso da estratégia de irrigação com déficit; os valores médios de produtividade da água incrementaram com o aumento das doses de composto orgânico segundo um modelo quadrático.

LETTUCE BEHAVIOR UNDER DIFFERENT DOSAGES OF ORGANIC COMPOST AND IRRIGATION BLADES ABSTRACTLettuce is one of the vegetables most cultivated in several Brazilian regions and with the growing demand for organic products by consumers, several producers have decided to migrate to the organic method of cultivation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the productive capacity of lettuce under different treatments of irrigation blades and doses of organic compost. Five irrigation blades and four doses of organic compost were used in a completely randomized block design, in the subdivided portions and four replicates scheme. The results allowed one to conclude that: the application of the water and organic compound production factors raised the
