Abstract:

The research focuses on discussing the dynamics between agroecology and family farming in the Brazilian semiarid region. Family plays a significant part in the production of food on the Brazilian territory, contributing to its socioeconomic development, as it generates jobs, contributes to the local economy and diversifies production while contributing to lessen environmental impacts. Therefore, this article aims to analyze the agroecological discourse and practical strategies used in family farming and its role in the socioeconomic development of the Brazilian Semiarid region, by means of a systematic literature review. The works retained center on the following themes: public policies, land management and territoriality, cultivated varieties, and the issues surrounding water usage.
