Resumo

We aim at changing the rural areas of the Sertão Sergipano of San Francisco under the food system by highlighting the issue of gender in the process of the production of cheese. With the inclusion of public policies, new practices were introduced to provide a rapid deforestation of the original vegetation caatinga. Grasses are resistant to estiagem while reducing as agricultural activities as the production of foods: beans, cassava and maize. It expands to livestock by building fi nancial resources released by the “state” in incessant search to achieve the modernization of agriculture. Besides the changes in environment, changes occur in the context of social relations and cultural practices. Traditionally the family farmers had to produce milk intended for self-consumption in the form in natura or producing derivatives such as cheese and homemade butter on the responsibility of women. With the advancement of livestock, this activity turns into a male work, and new types of networks start in the market.
