- Women in family farming: Evidence from a qualitative study in two Portuguese inner regionsPublication . Gomes, Diana; Jesus, Miguel; Rosa, Rosário; Bandeira, Cristina; Costa, Cristina Amaro DaThe importance of family farming in food systems worldwide is recognized by dierent international bodies, as well as the leading role played by women and the inequalities they face in this sector of activity. The most recent data from Portugal highlight the importance of this type of agriculture in this Southern European country. In 2019, 68% of the total agricultural workforce in the country was concentrated in family farming, with almost half of them being women. This high permanence of women in agriculture is the result of a long process of feminization on this sector that is similar to other contexts. Despite this strong feminization of family farming, there are few studies that portrait agricultural activity from the women’s viewpoint, since the voice of men is always predominant in all references. Based on the exploratory qualitative data from two focus groups, carried out in two Portuguese inner regions, we intend to address the perceptions and meanings of a small group of women farmers regarding their activity, the role taken by them in agriculture and the di culties they experience. Issues such as changes in agriculture and the sexual division of labor will also be addressed in this article. Within these groups, women work in agriculture is perceived as long, solitary and uncertain. Also, the public/private dichotomy is evident, with decision-making and public places dominated by men. A prevalence of the discourse of “masculinization” still exists with certain tasks being attributed to men (e.g., operations with machinery). Younger women (34 and 40 years old) tend to overcome these gender dierences choosing agriculture as a profession and healthy and sustainable life for their families
- Valorizar a Horta Familiar ed Forma a Educar para uma Dieta Mediterrânica, Saudável e SustentávelPublication . Amaral, Ana L.; Simões, Joana; Gomes, Diana; Bandeira, Cristina; Costa, Daniela; Guiné, Raquel; Esteves Correia, Helena; Costa, Cristina Amaro Da- Valorizar a Horta Familiar de forma a educar para uma hortas familiares rurais e urbanas e o papel das mulheres agricultoras para a economia familiar, para a manutenção de uma dieta mediterrânica saudável e sustentável e para a valorização dos produtos locais. Nesse sentido, numa primeira fase foi implementado um inquérito por questionário no contexto da agricultura familiar e em hortas urbanas e comunitárias em várias regiões do país, de modo a retratar o papel da horta familiar em Portugal e para responder a diversos aspetos como: destino da produção (venda, autoconsumo, oferta, outros), conservação e transformação de alimentos, papel da mulher agricultora na horta e divisão do trabalho doméstico e agrícola e perceção do impacto da horta na saúde da família. Foram realizados, em 2024, 35 inquéritos na Região de Viseu. Os resultados deste trabalho reforçam o papel da horta para o autoconsumo familiar e a importância da mulher na gestão familiar e da horta, na alimentação da família, na gestão de recursos, na transformação de produtos e no combate ao desperdício de alimentos.

- Algorithmic thinking and creativity: a deck of cards for early childhood educationPublication . Pacheco Figueiredo, Maria; Alves, Valter; Gomes, Diana; Amante, Susana; Sousa, C.; Gomes, Helena Margarida dos Santos Vasconcelos; P. Duarte, Rui; Gomes, Cristina Azevedo; Rego, Belmiro; Evin Gencel, IlkeThe challenges presented to educational systems and researchers about algorithmic thinking are wide and exciting. Several initiatives are working on contributions. In the framework of a European Project focused on algorithmic thinking skills through play-based learning, we undertook the development of a resource for introducing algorithmic thinking to teachers and children in Early Childhood Education. The paper presents the resource, a deck of cards, highlighting its connections to creativity and algorithmic thinking. The paper briefly introduces the research design in place to pilot together with preliminary data from the tests with future teachers and a group of 5 years-old children. The deck of cards has been well received by both future teachers and children. The simple drawings are considered attractive and allow for diverse decisions about what to represent. Conditions, in particular, were well received by children. Further analysis of existing data will provide more information regarding the potential and limitations of the deck of cards.
