Abstract

The permanence and continuity of small farms in Brasil, especially in Family Agriculture within the rural settlements are not only a challenge, but the survival of the field as history of rural and social development and also the local food production of a society. Migration from the countryside to the city is a reality, as the search for better income conditions, studies for the young and the lack of fitness the field by some producers generate the non-permanence and / or only one place of residence peaceful, quiet and / or just rest on weekends. The research aimed to analyze the perception of farmers on the Succession Management in Family Farming in the Settlement Project (PA) Santa Olga, located in Nova Andradina in Mato Grosso do Sul. The methodology used in this study is based on a study case, with data collection through the use of questionnaires to visited settlers, totaling 120 lots. The main results show that the perception of succession of the PA Santa Olga sitting on preparing successors in lots is small and the vast majority of producers heard during this research takes no continuity strategy, the sources of income are complemented by activities not agricultural, lack of technical assistance to rural settlers are neglect factors by the competent bodies and the lack of cooperation of producers discourages collective organizations in the settlement. The speeches of the family farmers converge to treat about succession management in the property because the succession process not only defines the future of that lot, but the social discourses, cultural and political of a local community.
