SUMMARY:

This research aims to investigate, through an ethnographic study, government actions aimed at family farming and food and nutritional sovereignty and security in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. As such, we propose to accompany people and groups and analyze the events, actions and associations whose purpose is to strengthen family farming. We will describe the circuits, managers, laws, public notices, surveys, events and mobilizations linked to the issue in order to understand the concerns and engagement of these groups in relation to socio-environmental causes and to monitor how the development processes take place in that particular sector. We are interested in studying the relationships established between agents linked to the state and professionals and specialists in food and family farming. We observed the stages, social relations, exchanges of knowledge and different understandings of the socio-cultural dimensions of food and the social actors (namely the family farmers) involved in food production in Rio Grande do Norte. We think of food and the policies that work with it as a symbolic system (Bourdieu, 1989), in other words, a structured and structuring phenomenon, because at the same time as it is shaped by culture, history and social contexts, it is also a shaper of history, culture and social configurations. Based on this, we try to understand the role of family farming in Brazil and the Northeast region, problematizing its effect on combating hunger and guaranteeing food and nutritional security.
