Research and participatory action in the organization of small-scale producers

Abstract

This work was part of a PROFEDER (Federal Program for Rural Development Support) project managed by INTA (National Institute of Agricultural Technology) with Social Development funds. Participatory Action Methodology was carried out by a group of small-size producers in General Alvear in Corrientes whose progress was based on its organization. The results obtained were reached due to consensus agreement among the participants who applied the Participatory Action Methodology to express their own ideas. Bases were achieved to overcome producers’ needs; developing their cooperative work, planning and managing the tools they need to work as a group.
