Abstract

The following search concerns about the family farming’s influence in the development of its regions. The question raised consist in identify the performance of some variables related to demographic, social, economic and environmental conditions which indicate the rural development from areas located in the Southern of Brazil.

On account of that, the first purpose was to explain the family farming’s importance to the development relying on the Marxist, Neoclassical and Chayanovian approaches. Secondly, it aimed to give evidence to justify the family farming’s support, taking into consideration its essential role to the development of the regions in which it is inserted.

Furthermore, it intended to evaluate the rural migration trend between the years 2000 and 2010 of domestic agriculture from the Southern of Brazil. It could be certify the rural population from this region follows the national trend, but in a highest level – rural migration mainly from the young ones. Finally, it proposed to analyze if the increased presence of family farming contributes to a better development conditions. The thesis supported that the areas in which there are highest level of family farming show better development indicators.
