Resumo: Biofuel production has been greatly discussed in Brazil. In 2004, some debates led the country to develop new policies and implement the National Biodiesel Use and Production Program (PNPB), with the intent to increase the share of renewable energy and foster rural development. In this context, the present study aims to assess the linkages between family farmers living standard and the adoption of oil seed activity in the Tocantins State, in a region of transition between the Cerrado (Brazilian savannah) and the Amazon rain forest. Ranges of socio-economic indicators were collected among smallholders who cultivate Jatropha curcas and Ricinus communis. A factor analysis based on living standard criteria and a non-linear probit model were applied to assess the inclusion of poor rural families in the biodiesel chain. Preliminary results point towards a positive relation between the family degree of deprivation and adoption of oil seed activity, for the Ricinus communis production, and a negative relation, for the Jatropha curcas production. KEY-WORDS: Brazilian biodiesel program; family farmers; social inclusion; Cerrado.

KEY-WORDS: Brazilian biodiesel program; family farmers; social inclusion; Cerrado.A produção de biocombustíveis tem sido fortemente discutida no Brasil, levando o País a desenvolver políticas e implementar, no ano de 2004, o Programa Nacional de Produção e Uso de Biodiesel (PNPB), a fim de aumentar a participação de energias renováveis, bem como fomentar o desenvolvimento rural. Neste contexto, o presente estudo busca avaliar a relação entre a condição de vida dos agricultores e a adoção do cultivo de oleaginosas no Estado do Tocantins, em uma região de transição entre o Cerrado e a Floresta Amazônica. Uma gama de indicadores socioeconômicos foram coletados entre os agricultores que cultivam pinhão manso e mamona. Análise fatorial baseada na condição de vida dos agricultores e um modelo não-linear probit foram utilizados para avaliar a inclusão de famílias rurais pobres na cadeia do biodiesel. Os resultados preliminares mostram uma relação positiva entre o nível de privação da família e a adoção do cultivo de oleaginosas, no caso da produção de Ricinus communis, e uma relação negativa, no caso da produção de Jatropha curcas.
