SUMMARY:

Living with the Semi-Arid is a paradigm under construction, which also presents itself as a sociopolitical project widely studied by the social, agrarian, environmental, and economic sciences. It requires a multi- and interdisciplinary approach to the semi-arid region and its people, as well as to the relationships established with the State, the Northeastern oligarchy, and the symbolic imagination that perpetuates stereotypes about this territory through time. As part of a more sustainable development paradigm, it can be understood as a counter-hegemonic process led by the Articulação Semiárido Brasileiro (ASA) through the implementation of water infrastructures of ideological, technological, and social appropriation nature.

In this thesis, we examine the P1+2 Program, which remains incipient in Southwestern Bahia compared to the pioneering program of the coexistence policy, P1MC. The research aimed to investigate how the social technologies of P1+2 have been appropriated by farming families and their functionality within family production units. To this end, the methodological procedures included the Characterization of Family Production Units—a tool used by social organizations to map, diagnose, analyze, and intervene contextually in the socio-productive space of families—along with bibliographical and documentary research, semi-structured interviews, systematic and participant observations, photographic records, and mapping activities.

The results showed that the social technologies of P1+2, once properly appropriated by families, enabled partial autonomy in food production and consumption, with minimal market dependence for inputs, and full autonomy from the market regarding what and how to produce—during periods without relative drought. We observed market exchanges of surpluses for monetary income supplementation, as well as reciprocal exchanges represented in the flow of donations among families.

The analysis of the Characterizations revealed deep-rooted gender inequalities, indicating that there is still a long way to go to achieve gender equity in the division of labor in rural areas—whether domestic or agricultural—as well as broader appropriation of the “calçadão” and “enxurrada” cisterns by women. However, the technical product presented in this thesis stems from the need to overcome the underutilization of the productive potential of cisterns, due to the non-use of water for production in economic garden beds, which directly impacts the reduction of family food diversity.
