Description
Summary:This article uses the concept of social interface, coined by Norman Long (2007), to answer the question: How do the processes of planned intervention come into the world of life of individuals and groups? This concept is discussed in the dynamics of the “Zero Hunger“ Food Production Program implemented in Nicaragua since 2007. This research is qualitative. Interviews with women protagonists of the program in the north-central region were applied. The article shows how the concept of social interface permits to analyze the moments of discrepancies between planned and executed social programs, because the various stakeholders are involved in social interactions where interests, needs, power relations, interpretations, symbols and accumulated knowledge are circulating and interacting.
