Resumen
The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), in 2006 carried out the
Agricultural Census, and the results obtained, related to Family Agriculture, show that
it corresponds to about 38% (or R$ 54.4 billion) of the amount produced by the
Agriculture in Brazil. Vegetable production generated 72% of the value of Family
Agriculture production, especially with temporary crops, 42% of the value of
production, and permanent crops with 19% of the total produced. However, through
the most recent data from the IBGE, from the 2017 agricultural census, it is possible to
see that Family Agriculture has shrunk in the country. There was a 9.5% reduction in
the number of establishments classified as Family Farming, and in addition, it was the
only segment to lose labor, approximately 2.2 million people. Understanding these
numbers requires a historical search of the agrarian question in Brazil. The last
decades, more than ever, have been marked by the strong impact of the growth and
intensification of the agro-industrial commodities cycle on international markets, and
with that a stereotyped vision has been attributed to initiatives that do not fit within the
scope of agribusiness and modernization. agricultural. And how, then, to mitigate these
differences in order to reach the rural producer with the most technological and/or that
can guarantee him and her a better quality of life? The relevance of this work consists
in the possibility of adding the understanding and theoretical deepening around the
visions related to Family Agriculture, and the use of an Agroecological bias strategy in
the production, commercialization and income generation, adding contributions to the
Rural Extension policies aimed at to family farmers in Aliança, a municipality in the
Zona da Mata of Pernambuco, who are going through the process of Agroecological
transition. It is concluded that even in the face of difficulties and challenges imposed
in the process, the positive aspects and potential of the transition process stand out,
including the increase in income, environmental preservation, participation in events
and so on.
