Complexidade e agricultura: organização e análise ergonômica do trabalho na agricultura orgânica.

Abstract

The organic agriculture besides being appointed as a sustainable cultivation model under an ecological, economic and social perspective is a destitute segment in researches to analyze the worker sustainability; in other words, the relationship among health and work is still not well known in the organic agriculture. This Project intends to investigate the characteristics of human work in the organic agriculture under an ergonomics perspective, exploring their uncountable work systems, to understand how the organization and the utilization of human, technological and environmental resources impact on the health-work relation. To achieve this subject, two (2) farms were selected, in São Paulo state, both certificated in fruits and vegetables organic production. The field research is in curse, using the Ergonomic Analysis of Work method. Through this method, it is possible to know the interrelations among work conditions and the comfort, safety and efficiency at work. Beyond that, it shows the multiple existing logics on the different work activities, which allow a vision from the work complexity in organic agriculture. At the end, results will be analyzed through the complexity theory proposed by Edgar Morin.
