Abstract

The family family in Brazil is improved by the superior generation of work and the production of food for the domestic market. "At the same time, children are very appetizing for their own consumption, contributing to lower levels of income and food insecurity in the field. However, access to land is differentiated when analyzing the different segments of agriculture. Through public policies, family farmers can acquire land. The National Land Credit Program (PNCF), which offers the opportunity to finance a rural property. Farmers can organize themselves into associations and cooperatives, in order to produce and market, seeking public resources to promote the settlement of their families. The Center for Incubation of Popular Solidarity Enterprises (Cieps / UFU) advises workers' groups who want to organize productive initiatives based on the principles of Popular Solidarity Economy and, in the case of peasant organizations, supports the promotion of the agroecological transition of these groups. From this, the objective of this work was to identify the opportunities and threats that a group of workers incubated at Cieps / UFU, in the Uberlândia region, who are acquiring land through the Land Credit and preparing to put their skills into practice, will face while conducting its production and marketing of organic rice and beans. This qualitative research is an exploratory case study, complemented by bibliographical and documentary research, with primary data obtained through a semistructured interview with the president of the association of the Sete Laces Group. As a result, it was presented a survey of the reality of the workers' organization and their expectations regarding the production and commercialization in the future settlement, reflecting on the opportunities and threats of such processes, through analysis of the SWOT matrix. The results allowed to propose strategies for the group of producers, so that they could occupy the local market of organic rice and beans.
