This work has two main objectives that are expressed in its different sections. The first is to place the theoretical debate in Brazil, since the 1990s, about the operation and characteristics that explain the family experiences of agroindustrialization, hereinafter referred to agroindustries. This discussion seeks to pervade through different theoretical traditions, authors and concepts that were deployed in the country to understand the modus operandi of initiatives to aggregate food and family farming. Also looking through the text, discuss some notions used in the most common definitions of these experiments family food processing and products. The second objective is the construction of a definition that takes into account the main elements (theoretical and practical) that make up the dynamics of family agroindustries. This definition is based on that used to call "extended terms" social reproduction of experiences, paraphrasing the ideas Ploeg (2008). There are five elements: (a) the familial form of production, management and labor in agroindustries, coupled with capacity of farmers agency; (b) small and medium scale production coupled with specifics foods; (c) the existence of a base material resources that are strategically self-controlled by families; (d) the aggregate value of own raw materials produced by the family; (e) marketing of food is developed mainly in local markets or social proximity.
