Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The theme of public policy on Productive Backyards as one of the Margaridas' major bets for the recognition and valorization of their ways of life in defense of sociobiodiversity is still little studied. The general objective of the article is to analyze the prospects of the Margaridas regarding the Productive Backyards Program for Rural Women in relation to the advances and challenges towards sociobiodiversity. The methodology is qualitative in nature and involved the collection of primary and secondary data to accompany the women during march events and conduct semi-structured interviews, as well as the government's actions post-March. The backyard policy represents a pilot experience of progress for the Margaridas to advance in the integrated vision of their agroecosystems and safeguard sociobiodiversity, but it presents serious limitations in achieving the perspectives of the women. The analysis reveals the intersectionality of the backyard policy and the women's ways of life as a point crucial in the construction of sociobiodiversity, but also the complexity of women's struggle on this path.
