Agricultura de subsistência na Baixada Cuiabana : produção e comercialização

Abstract

Subsistence agriculture is a productive model that is predominantly presente among family farmers, with the objective if sustaining the producer’s life, with this production aimed at own consumption and with its surplus being sold to the consumer market. The main objective of the work is to analyze the incentives for production and the models of commercial circuits used by subsistence farmers present in the Baixada Cuiabana. In this way, analyzes and reflections are proposed regarding the commercial and productive expansion of food grown through subsistence agriculture in the region. In view of this perspective, producers suffer from the difficulty of credit incentives, turning to collaborative productions and shorcircuit commercialization, obtaining greater proximity to the consumer.
