Pluriatividade e o seu potencial para o desenvolvimento da agricultura familiar: uma revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

From the 1990s onwards, the Brazilian rural world was the stage for a new model of production through pluriactive activities. Thus, the concept given to these activities was the phenomenon of pluriactivity that has stood out, as the functions that rural areas receive are diverse, which can be in the commerce, services, as well as production sectors. The phenomenon of pluriactivity appears every time the family group practices agricultural activities with non-agricultural activities. Therefore, the present study analyzes pluriactivity and its potential for development in family farming. To prepare this work, a bibliographical review was carried out on materials that address the topic of the phenomenon of pluriactivity in family farming. Diversification has the possibility of economic and social development, considering that pluriactive activities are practiced with the aim of increasing the family farmer’s income. Therefore, in this context, the new functions of rural agriculture go beyond agriculture with pluriactive activities that are uncontroversially part of the daily lives of most families in family farming, a fact that could bring positive or negative effects as a result of pluriactive practices, effects that can cause socio-spatial changes in the people involved in family farming.
