      abstract = {he article discusses the phenomenon of pluriactivity in  Brazilian agriculture, referring to the 
diversification of  economic and labour activities in rural areas, and  pluri-incomes, referring to the diversification 
of  income
sources accessed by farmers and their families.  Based on 2006 Agricultural Census data, an analysis 
for  Brazil and Southern and Northeastern regions of the country  is carried out, trying to compare the so-called  
“pluriactive households” belonging to family farming and  non-family farming categories. The paper identifies 
and  quantifies these households; characterize them according to  the type of pluriactivity and the labour relations 
of  employed persons; and identifies their distinct revenue  sources, measuring the importance of each one in 
the  formation of total revenue. The empirical finding of a  higher percentage of non-family farming households  
classified as pluriactive (51.9%) than the family farming  (34.1%) led to an intriguing theoretical question, since  
almost all the studies in Brazil always considered  pluriactivity as a phenomenon specific to family farming.  
Although this question is only briefly discussed, the most  significant result is that there must be an important part  
of family farmers who, precisely because they are  pluriactive, are improperly classified as non-family  farmers 
and, therefore, excluded from official statistics  and possibly of the very public policies suitable for  family farming.},
