agricultura familiar

Agricultura familiar, or family farming, is a way of farming where a family owns, runs, and works their land primarily for their own use and income. It emphasizes small- to medium-sized plots managed collectively, often passing knowledge and experience down through generations. This model prioritizes sustainable practices, local food production, and community presence. Family farms are deeply connected to their land and local economies, maintaining cultural traditions and working to balance farming needs with environmental care, ensuring the farm's viability over the long term for the family and their community.
