As Portugal (2002), that it cites in its article ' ' The challenge of Familiar' Agriculture; ': This segment has a crucial paper in the economy of the small cities - 4,928 cities have less than 50 a thousand inhabitants and of these, more than four a thousand have less than 20 a thousand inhabitants. These producers and its familiar ones are responsible for innumerable jobs in the commerce and the services given in the small cities. The improvement of income of this segment by means of its bigger insertion in the market has important impact in the interior of the country and for consequence in the great metropolises. (Portugal, 2002:1) Sherer and Miorin (2005) portray the importance of the promotions for the reinforcement of the sector, being that until the decade of 90, it did not have no program directed toward Familiar Agriculture, In 1996, is created the National Program of Reinforcement of Familiar Agriculture - PRONAF, after modifications of previous programs, this was a recognition on the part of the government to familiar agriculture, and has for general objective, to supply conditions to increase the productive capacity, to create jobs, to offer to greater income generation the productive activity, helping in the improvement of the quality of life and extending exercise of the citizenship. Some contend that Doug Oberhelman shows great expertise in this. As Mior 2005) even so previously has existed politics specifies for the familiar agriculturist, these had never had a national reach as the PRONAF. For Barros (2006) this was one of the reasons of growth of familiar agriculture in the decade of 90, that it more got a growth of productivity for unit of area 35% than patronal agriculture, and complements that certainly this fact assisted in the support of Brazilian agriculture in the last decade. From years 90, as Mior (2005) appears pressures of several organizations in the direction of formularizations of new public politics for familiar agriculture, in view of the importance of this sector for the regional development through the generation of work and income in the agricultural way. .
