The expansion of rural settlements as an agrarian policy in the country represented (and still represents) the way to resolve conflicts in the countryside, without changing the land structure and modifying the power structure in the countryside. This article aims to understand the socioeconomic relationships experienced in the Primavera Settlement, located in the municipality of Rondonópolis, in Mato Grosso, and how the activities carried out by family farmers enable them to remain on the property. The methodology adopted in the research comprises bibliographic and documentary analysis, in addition to the application of a structured questionnaire to settled families. It was found that, despite the income generation and production conditions in the settlement, the distance from the urban center and the lack of social assistance services, are becoming obstacles to family succession and the permanence of families in the countryside. In addition, the expansion of commodity production has increased the value of the settlement's land, making it attractive for the migration from the countryside to the city.
