SUMMARY:

The National Policy on Agroecology and Organic Production (PNAPO) was established by Decree No.

7,794 in 2012, with the aim of integrating, articulating and adapting policies, programs and actions that

induce the agroecological transition and organic and agroecological-based production (BRAZIL, 2012).

Despite the existence of works that addressed the analysis of the conception, results, impacts and, more

recently, the dismantling of this public policy, after 10 years of its publication, there are still gaps about (i)

what impacts the recent institutional changes (2016-2020) provoked in the governance structure of the

policy within the scope of the Federal Government; and, ii) means of leveraging the PNAPO as a

coordinated institutional arrangement. Considering the convergence between PNAPO's objectives and the

integrating potential inherent in the Nexus WEF (water-energy-food) conceptual approach, this rationale

was operationalized in guidelines and analytical tools. To explore the identified knowledge gaps, a review of

the scientific literature on the WEF Nexus approach was conducted. It was proposed to categorize the main

WEF Nexus approaches into a set of analysis perspectives and combining them with social networking

tools, they were used as a guide to analyze the impacts of recent institutional changes (2016-2020) on the

governance structure of the PNAPO in the Federal Government. The research results show that the

interministerial network responsible for the governance of PNAPO's socio-environmental security agenda is

weakened, formally disjointed and that 80% of initiatives related to the socio-environmental security agenda

are contradictorily sectoralized in MAPA and in related entities (Anater, Embrapa and Incra). In order to

identify ways to leverage the execution of PNAPO in the Government as a coordinated arrangement, three

tools inspired by WEF Nexus were developed and applied with managers and former managers of PNAPO

in the public sector: the Matrix of synergies and trade offs, the MSTO; the summary measures of

precedence, dependence and codependency; and the intersectoral cooperation networks. From the

triangulation of the inputs of the analysis section with the feedbacks of the tools, the research concludes that

the MMA, INCRA, Anater and Embrapa, central sectors of the governance network of the socio-

environmental security agenda of PNAPO, do not have, in the political and current federal government

(2019-2022), institutional capacity to coordinate the maintenance of the policy in the central government.

Finally, it is recommended, through structural adjustments, that the informal governance in practice by

MAPA's Organic Production Coordination should be the main inspiration for managing the maintenance of

the policy in government. In the governance model proposed to manage the PNAPO in the Federal

Government, it is identified the need to create a technical panel chaired by the MMA and with attributions

and functions of control and support for decision-making. An inter-ministerial institutional arrangement is

discussed that serves both to minimize losses in the current political context and to promote a more effective

resumption in an eventual policy shift that brings movements more aligned with the agenda of sustainable

family farming. Complementarily, the thesis research proposes a roadmap for applying the WEF Nexus

approach for analysis and integration of governance of intersectoral policies.
