The meanings of family agriculture from the local perspective: the case of the Association of Family Farmers of São Pedro da Serra (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)

Abstract:

The article aims to interpret the dynamics of family agriculture in the limits of the Macaé de Cima Environmental Protection Area, from the perspective of the social actors of the Association of Family Farmers of São Pedro da Serra and Surroundings. The local perception about family agriculture transcends its understanding as a productive activity. This is translated by its religiosity, by its relation with nature, and with the tourists that visit the region.

Keywords:
