The fragility of farmers' access to monopolized markets drives the search for new processes and practices that emerge parallel to the great food empires. In this context, new markets emerge, which coexist with the existing commercial circuits, such as fairs, integrated markets for tourism, family agroindustries and institutional ones, creating new market circuits. The objective of this work was to analyze how local productive arrangements can foster diversification of family agriculture, relocating food production through short chains, stimulating heterogeneity and promoting rural development. The research was carried out from APL Agroindústria, governance structure that drives the installation, regularization and associativism of agroindustries in Vale do Taquari, RS; the methodology used was the documentary analysis and interview to APL Agroindústria's managers and APL's agroindustry owners. Public policies to promote the implementation and strengthening of APLs constitute strategies that can strengthen family agriculture, promoting the construction and access to new markets, creating and developing new products, promoting rural succession, diversifying activities productive, generating income, through new social arrangements and horizontal structures of governance.
