The present research aims at analyzing the experience of the Agro-extrativist Association of fisherman and fisherwomen in the Óbidos region (ACEPPAMO) with the Program of Food Acquisition (PFA) in Óbidos, Pará. The methodological procedures used were the following: bibliographical revision of the theme, documental survey in public institutions, interviews with representatives of the engaged entities in the Program, field work and elaboration of the thematic cartography. The main results show that carrying out this public policy has contributed with the improvement of the income of minor peasants and fishermen members of ACEPPAMO, in addition to contributing with the food security of those benefitting from the distribution of fish in the Óbidos region. The research is justified by the need to deepen knowledge, especially in the Amazon, about programs and public policies foster to cooperativism and associativism in the rural environment, which like the PAA, has generated income for historically economically / socially underprivileged populations and removed thousands people from the situation of misery and hunger in Brazil.
