Live and create livelihood strategies to stay in lots in rural settlements, on land of poor productivity, far from urban centers, lacking basic infrastructure services, has been a major challenge for farmers in Brazil, especially in the of Mato Grosso do Sul (MS) State. In this perspective, this study aimed to identify the major factors related to productive activities and income generation in Lagoa Grande rural settlement, in the Dourados City (MS). The methodology consisted of a field survey, with the completion of data collection through a census, with questionnaires to residents of lots of seating. This analysis identified the need for greater diversification in productive activities, soil amendment, reform of pastures and technical assistance, as well as the need to improve the conditions of transport, management of properties, knowledge of public policy and alternative generating income in order to provide satisfactory production and thus avoid abandonment of lots by the settlers.
