Abstract

In Brazil, for a long time, it has been given a favorable treatment for the large-farm sector which is greatly responsible, according to Veiga (2003), for the rural poverty in the country. Talk about the agrarian question in Brazil is the same as talk about the refuse of to confront that problem. Since the 90´s the emphasis given to economic dimension of the land reform has been changed for the arguments focused on its crucial role of solving the country’s social problems. At the same time, the family agriculture has become an important issue of policy and debate mainly because it is believed that family agriculture is more efficient for achieving the sustainability, not only in the agriculture, but in the whole social context, turning into an important actor in a local development program. As a result, it’s necessary to improve the debate about the technological, productive and organizational model of the familiar agriculture, especially in the resettlement areas.
