Opis

The aim of this study was to find out how activities are managed on the properties of family farmers with links to the Free Fair in Dom Pedrito-RS, in order to understand how this management is carried out and how family farmers understand this issue. Sixteen family farmers located in Dom Pedrito-RS took part in this study, through interviews carried out on their properties to better observe the data collected, during the months of April and May of the year two thousand and eighteen. The main result obtained in this project was the confirmation that management activities are carried out by the family farmers studied, but the characteristics of these management actions vary greatly between farmers, where several groups were formed by similarity and closeness of these activities related to management, making this visualization and understanding possible through the scatter diagram and principal component analysis. Other results were achieved, including the development of a basic management model adapted to the family farmers participating in this study.
