The new arrangements for the development of agriculture in Brazil, in particular for family agriculture, derive from neoliberal adjustments effected by a set of compensatory emergency policies. There is a set of counter-reforms not only in Brazil, but in most central capitalist societies and in developing economies since the 1990, presenting as a basic argument the emergence of a new policy pattern based on the idea of social security and social distributivism. The article aims to present the intersection between the Social Assistance Policy and the phenomenon of poverty in rural areas, analyzing the Family Agriculture Income Program, as a strategy of the Paranaense Family Program, with a focus on families in situations of social vulnerability living in the countryside. The social and historical contingencies of this new pattern of public policies, starting with the Brazilian Constitution of 1988, present commitments and a political agenda that underlie and promote the metamorphosis of Agrarian Policy into Social Policy in Brazil. The results demonstrate how this metamorphosis can be observed in the execution of social programs derived from the respective policies, which have a tendency to delegate to the Social Assistance Policy the resolution of highly complex, structural social phenomena of an agricultural model based, historically, on large plantations, in large estates, high concentration of land, unequal access to progress, culminating in the modernizing project of brazilian agriculture.
