Abstract

The National Program for Strengthening Family Farming (PRONAF) is an essential public policy to support small producers in Brazil. This study analyzed its impact on the development of family farming in the Triângulo Mineiro region, based on interviews with 30 farmers and data from institutions such as IBGE and EMATER-MG. The results show that 76% of producers used credit to purchase inputs and 58% invested in infrastructure. This resulted in an average increase of 22% in productivity, especially in crops such as corn and vegetables. However, challenges persist: 63% reported a lack of technical knowledge about the program, 51% pointed to bureaucracy as an obstacle, and 48% cited a lack of ongoing technical assistance. In addition, 25% of respondents do not own land, and there is a growing exodus of young people from the countryside, which threatens family succession. Despite these limitations, farmers who accessed PRONAF reported gains in income and market insertion. The research concludes that the effectiveness of the program depends on integration with training policies, rural extension and financial education, being fundamental for the sustainability of family farming.
