Abstract
This article aims to study the National Programme for Strengthening Family
Agriculture (Pronaf) in their credit lines for costing and investment, in order to investigate
their relationships and interfaces with the family farm, using it for a study in Rio Grande
do Sul (Middle High Uruguay microregion). The question to be answered is: what kind
of building that is generating Pronaf with family farmers? To do this, it was used a
methodology based on qualitative, using semi-structured interviews and underpinned by
arguments with secondary data from various sources and research. It is concluded that the
program has a dual logic. On the one hand, it is financing production activities usual for
farmers, such as grain and agricultural commodities. On the other hand, there is a process
of economic diversification of productive activities, small livestock, crops and basic food for
household consumption.
