Resumo
Itapuranga, a municipality in the State of Goiás, Brazil,
has a significant representation of the family agriculture
developing fruit production systems, especially passion fruit,
papaya, and banana. The objective of this research is to analyze
the production systems of the Itapuranga family farmers. The
methodology used in this case study is based on the agrarian
systems theory. The research techniques used for data collection
for the field work were documental search, interviews, and
observations. At the beginning, the production systems of the
family farmers from Itapuranga comprised diversified crops,
primarily for family consumption and commercialization of the
surplus. Starting from the 1990s, the family farmers began to
develop production systems specialized in fruit crops, integrated
with other crop systems and with the dairy cattle system. The
research concludes that, despite its limitations, the fruit crop
developed in Itapuranga offers excellent potential for sustainable
family farming.
