SUMMARY:

This thesis investigates how the different dimensions of social capital (structural, relational and cognitive) influence collaboration between cooperative members and partners of the Cooperativa Agropecuária dos Produtores Familiares Irituienses (D'Irituia), in the state of Pará. With the growing recognition that social capital is a crucial resource for promoting sustainability and development in agricultural cooperatives, this study seeks to fill a gap in the literature by exploring these interactions in a specific context. Agricultural cooperatives play a vital role in the rural economy, facilitating the sharing of resources and the adoption of sustainable practices. The research was conducted from a qualitative approach, using semi-structured interviews and document analysis to examine cooperation within D'Irituia and its partnerships with public and private institutions. The results highlight that the partnerships established over the years have been essential to the cooperative's development, promoting the modernization of processes, technical training and insertion into global production chains. In addition, the study points out that trust, reciprocity and commitment are crucial factors in strengthening these collaborative networks, contributing to organizational resilience and sustainable development. By analyzing how social capital impacts collaborative practices, the thesis offers significant contributions to the theory of social capital and to the field of cooperatives, suggesting that maintaining networks of trust and diversifying productive activities are essential strategies for the long-term sustainability of agricultural cooperatives. In addition, the study proposes that building social capital between cooperative members and partners is fundamental to facing socio-economic and environmental challenges, reinforcing the importance of partnerships as a vector for innovation and local development.
