Vol. 5 No. 4 (2020): Family farming: the basis of the Latin American economy
Family farming plays a fundamental role in the Latin American economy, serving as a vital cornerstone for ensuring food security and promoting sustainable development. This agricultural model is characterized by crop diversity, the use of traditional practices, and the adoption of innovative techniques that respect the environment. Beyond providing food for millions, family farming stimulates local markets and strengthens rural economies.
Rural communities in Latin America rely heavily on family farming, not only as a source of sustenance but also as a means to preserve their cultural and social traditions. This system significantly helps reduce inequalities and creates economic opportunities in areas with limited resources. Its impact reflects the importance of integrating social development with environmental conservation.
The edition of volume 5, number 4, of 2020 of Diversitas Journal, published by the State University of Alagoas, delves into this topic in depth. The publication provides a detailed perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing family farming, emphasizing its role in the economy, sustainability, and social welfare. It is essential reading to understand its importance within the Latin American context.
