Resumo
The research developed in the Graduate Stricto Sensu Program in Geography through the
Federal University of Goiás – Regional Catalão (in the state of Goiás, Brazil) has as centrality
to identify and comprehend how is developed the policy of Technical Assistence and Rural
Extension (Ater) in Kalunga Quilombo Community by public and private enterprises. The used
methodology is based on qualitative research, developed in three stages: bibliographical
research: included the bibliographic gathering, based in the identification of books, scientific
articles, master and Ph.D. thesis and newspapers which treat about the proposed theme;
documental research: analysis supported in documents about practices in rural extension in
the communities; field research: point where we prioritized procedures as observation as
participant and register of the observations in field journal. Located in the Northeast of the
state of Goiás, the municipality of Monte Alegre de Goiás is inhabited by the Kalunga
Quilombo Community, a descendant of slave workers in the goldmines of the North of
Captaincy of Goiás in the 18th century. In the region composed by the municipalities of
Cavalcante, Monte Alegre de Goiás, Teresina de Goiás, Arraias and Paranã (the last two
located in the state of Tocantins), is territorialized the Kalunga Quilombo Community. Thus as
happen in other areas occupied by the descendant population of members of the quilombos in
Brazil, the Kalunga Quilombo territory suffers from the delay in the process of land
expropriation by existing landowners in the marked territory. This is due to the slowness of
the Brazilian State in consolidating the policies of support and protection of the minorities
which determine the existing regulations. The conditions of access to the public policies in the
Community is a practical example of the dispensed treatment by the State to the traditional
communities. Among the inconsistent policies in the Kalunga Community are the technical
assistance and rural extension, which the Ministry of Agrarian Development (MDA) and state
government are responsible. The actions of Ater when performed happen with inappropriate
methodologies which do not respect the existing knowledge/practices in the Community. In
this research, we looked for showing these methodologies and discuss other alternatives in
the rural extension which may aggregate agroecological e cultural practices and which may be
territorialized in the Kalunga Quilombo Community. Thus, we believe Ater employed with an
adequate methodology could reverberate in the strengthening of the (Re)Existence and food
sovereignty in the Community.
