Resumen
The present research aimed at analyzing the roles of multifunctional
family-based agriculture in the landscape, considering the city of Campina das
Missões as the locus of this research. It was proposed the study of several
aspects in the economic exploitation of land used for family agriculture, being
adopted the line of epistemology as the methodology for the qualitative
research at the city level. Being so, this research was grounded in a critical,
dialectical, theoretical and methodological approach, as it was the most suitable
for conducting the study proposed. The main reason that took the citizens of
Campina das Missões to modify the landscape of this locus over the years is
the need to increase their family income and to improve living condition.
Changes in the natural dynamics of elements in the landscape interfering in the
natural resources can be added up to that as well. So, different stages in this
process were marked by alterations affecting the environment, both positively
and negatively. However, the third stage, guided by the modernization of
agriculture, set significant changes in the environment. Therefore, the cultural
knowledge adopted is a way to improve the family income, without leaving aside
the agricultural and livestock production, at least in a subsistence level.
Nevertheless, many family farmers are investing in other areas, and being
adopted the multifunctionality, they turn themselves to the cultural knowledge to
add value to the production and promote the reorganizations and transformation
of local landscape.
