Resumo
The valuation of family farming by Brazilian society constitutes an important tool for local
development, since it uses scarce resources like land, labor force, efficiently. The rural
homegardens are important production systems to complement other forms of land use,
which besides providing food security for farmers, they perform functions aesthetic,
recreational and conservation of local biodiversity. Thus, the study aimed to examine the
total economic value (TEV) of the backyards of the universe of rural farmers involved in the
Cooperative Family Farming of Itapuranga, noting its main economic functions,
environmental and cultural. By means of the contingent valuation method, using the
technique "payment card", tried to capture also the values of these non-market yards, as the
perception and preferences of the farmers interviewed. Thus, 40 questionnaires were applied
and visited 35 farms, where it was possible to observe directly the interaction of families with
that environment. For economic functions, there was a survey of the main items (gross)
consumed and sold during October 2007 and October 2008, reaching an average value of
direct use of R$ 420.70 monthly. Other benefits from the yards were measured by DAP of
the farmers interviewed, obtained by the MAC, with an average value of R $ 493.75
monthly. These values also correspond to the sociocultural aspects related to the tradition of
those families where the woman responds by management and by the choices of crops,
according to the tastes and habits of the family group. Regarding environmental aspects, the
yards are considered important agroecological systems, since in most cases are not used
chemical or toxic substances in their production. In recent years, faced with environmental
problems in general, and the reopening of the sugarcane agro-industry in the city of
Itapuranga, so does the importance of gardens as conservative biodiversity and balance of the
fauna and flora.
