Rural family production is of great relevance to the national economy, accounting for approximately 70% of the food consumption in Brazil. Recent research indicates that a small portion of rural producers use cost controls in the decision-making process, even though this is an essential tool for the property management. Thus, the present research aims to investigate the acceptance of cost controls by rural family producers in the city of Londrina-PR. It should be noted that the region has a strong connection with agribusiness and the survival of this type of producer is important for the regional sustainability and economy. Data was collected through forms at the rural producer fair, which is a municipal incentive program for rural family producers. The results show that the producers’ cost controls are considered basic, however, they do not use them in the decision-making process and for the sales pricings. It is noted that that a small number of producers have created strategies to reduce costs because of the current economic recession.

The construction of the large part of public policies in Brazil has been debated in spaces of interaction between society and State, which allows to work the notion of permeability of the State and the articulation of different interests in the decision-making arenas. This study aims to analyze the relationship, conflicts and confluence between the State and agroecological movement, represented by the National Articulation of Agroecology (NAA), in the construction of the National Policy of Agroecology and Organic Production (PNAOP) and National Plans of Agroecology and Organic Production (Planapo). For this, were analyzed documents elaborated by ANA, texts produced by the Consultancy and Services for Projects in Family Agriculture (AS-PTA) and governmental documents. The formation of an Interministerial Working Group (IWG), was constituted as an interlocutor for the debate of the policiesand national plan with the civil society. With conflicts after the launching of the Decree that instituted PNAPO, social actors, organized by ANA, have maintained dialogue with the State, placing their demands, present in the Planapos (2013-2015 and 2016-2019). However, the permeability of the state can beaffected by the political and economic context of the country, which can put at risk a space that has gradually been conquered by social organizations and movements.

This study aims to present a survey of Brazilian scientific production published in scientific journals of the Qualis system, concerning the Public Administration and Business, Accounting and Tourism area, about family farming succession from 2004 to 2016. Therefore, a bibliographical research was perfomed, in which periodicals evaluated in the Qualis system of the area, registered in the Sucupira platform from CAPES (Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior) were the basis of the research. The research took place from October to December 2016 and considering the exclusion criteria adopted, 34 articles were selected to constitute the sample of this research. The results show restriction of academic production on family farm succession and higher concentration of publications from the southern region of the country. Generally, it was verified that the studies indicate the income as the main limitation to keep young people in rural areas, besides the fragility of the rural infrastructure, difficulties in education access, lack of public policies, inequality of gender and negative views from parents about the future of their children in the property. As factors that contribute to family farming succession, it was noticed a strong influence of the pluriactivity and production diversification, professional qualification, involvement with the cooperatives, family incentive and young entrepreneur profile.
