Abstract

This paper presents the Brazilian family farmers’ perception on their livelihoods based on interviews carried out with 10.362 farmers all over the country. The results reveals a positive perception family farmers have on their in-farm conditions for production (including land and labor availability) and a negative perception on their performance out of the farm (including access to public policies, markets and social relationships).
