摘要:This study aimed to understand the possibilities of the familiar farmers collective organization from the routine sociabilitiy practices. It was analised, particularly, how the familiar farmers from Zona da Mata Mineira used to develop their collective practices of productive organization in coffee cultivation. The research can be characterized as cross-sectional, relying on twelve (12) interviews to the familiar farmers that live in a rural community in São Joaquim, Araponga municipality/MG. The results showed that in the farmers perception the productive organization had a common meaning, of searching improvements in the life and work condition in the field based on the “union”, “mutual help” and “solidarity”. It was clearly found a cultural trendy by the interviewers to recognize themselves as “familiar farmers” and also as participants of this process, regarding that their social representations come from a discourse where the small farmer is valorized and recognized by thier experiences. Finally, the farmers social representations about their productive organization have also an identity construction from the setting relationships with the territory and with the culture through values, beliefs and custos.
