The main objective of this dissertation is to evaluate the performance of family farming and the National Program for Strengthening Family Agriculture (Pronaf) in the Vale do Jequitinhonha. The work is structured in four chapters. The first shows the relevance of the theme, addressing, on the one hand, the perspective of development in its various dimensions, and on the other hand, family farming as an instrument for generating income, combating poverty and food security. The second chapter studies Brazilian agricultural policy after the 1930s, in which Brazil turned to the import substitution model, going through the military period, in which the State reconciled agricultural modernization with development by expanding the land structure and subsidy for employer agriculture. This development model triggered the struggle for access to land and for policies for family-based production, especially after redemocratization in 1988, which led to the creation of some policies for family farming, such as Pronaf in 1996. The third deals with of Pronaf, an important policy aimed at family farming, created in response to the demands of movements that claimed specific policies for family-based production. The last chapter addresses Jequitinhonha, which is characterized by being a region with poor socioeconomic indicators and a significant portion of the population living in rural areas. Due to these characteristics, Pronaf's performance in the region was investigated, as a policy to promote family farming. Finally, the last chapter suggests some actions for the improvement of family farming and for the expansion of Pronaf in the region.
