Abstract

This paper aims identify and understand the operational dynamics and capacity of the National Program for Strengthening Family Agriculture (Pronaf) and the Family Agriculture Insurance (SEAF) to stimulate or restrict the adoption of sustainability principles. The theoretical reference of “Three I’s” oriented the analysis by the ideas, interests and institutions that interfere on the technical-productive rationality of the family farmers, stimulating them and/or coercing to adopt techniques and inputs towards the greater or lesser sustainability - understood here as a gradual step, since nothing is totally sustainable. The case study conducted in nineteen municipalities in the Far West region of Santa Catarina included semi-structured interviews with twenty local operators and 37 family farmers, among whom nine are oriented by agroecology. The discourse analysis of the interviews allows to conclude that these public policies offer stimuli to the adoption of more intensive systems of production that disregard the precepts of sustainability, besides facing difficulties to meet the specificities of the production guided by agroecology.
