Abstract

The National Program for Strengthening Family Farming (PRONAF) had its origins in the struggles of social movements such as National Confederation of Agricultural Workers (CONTAG), Landless Movements (MST) and Central Única dos Trabalhadores (CUT Rural), in addition to the days, which came to be called “Screams of the Earth” and their main struggle was the demand for specific policies for agriculture. Since, since the creation of the program, the achievement of its goals, promoting the sustainable development of family farming, increasing productive capacity, generating jobs and improving income, have been discussed, the objective of this study aims to analyze the socioeconomic impacts of PRONAF with family farmers in the municipality of São José de Ribamar based on a case study with farmers in the Itapary Community. The research approach is qualitative with ways of examining a particular phenomenon in detail and in depth within the context of public policies to promote family farming
