Social Innovation. Sustainable Management. Quadruple Helix.
The present research emphasizes the value of Knowledge Management in the community capacity building process by seeking to identify the factors that most interfere in the development of essential skills for the management of small agribusinesses and, consequently, in the beneficiaries’ administrative autonomy of projects to fostering rural family production in the Brazilian Amazon. The proposal includes the presentation of a conceptual model of sustainable management, adaptable to the region, based on observation and analysis of the current models in force at the researched territory, using a sample group, to bring regional peculiarities closer to global best practices. The suggested strategy bets on a methodology that places the "territory" as the main leverage agent, taking better advantage of traditional knowledge, seeking the convergence of visions from the Quadruple Helix, through a process of dialogue and collective building that serves not only compliance with international legislation and protocols, but contributes to the qualification of small-scale production modes through the selective incorporation of science and technology, serving to improve the formal knowledge of the organizations that participate of the network, as a result of the validation of field experiences. It is intended, therefore, to emphasize how a management methodology based on a systemic view, fed and balanced by knowledge, practices, needs and interests of all key actors, and which places the producer as the protagonist, can influence the planning process, the risk reduction, in taking advantage of local potential and, mainly, in the way in which traditional populations find the means to participate and benefit from this process.
