The Ministry of Agrarian Development Announced that It Extended the Validity Period of Declarations of Aptitude for the National Program for Strengthening Family Agriculture (Pronaf) by One Year. The Ordinance Was Published in the Official Gazette, and the Extension Applies to Declarations Expiring Between February 8, 2023, and January 31, 2024.

In response to the need to adapt the system of declarations of aptitude that have already expired, the Brazilian government set up a task force to enable the issuance of the Family Agriculture Register (CAF). The document provides access to programs aimed at family farmers and is part of the regularization process with the authorities.

Declarations of aptitude expiring from February 1, 2024, will have their deadlines maintained. For questions about this matter, it is possible to contact the Ministry of Agriculture via email atendimento.cocaf@agro.gov.br or by phone (61) 9965-6115 (call or WhatsApp).

The ordinance signed by Minister Paulo Teixeira will ensure access to public policies aimed at the countryside, as well as improve the system of the Family Agriculture Register (CAF) to meet the needs of family farmers. This measure aims to benefit small farmers in the country, ensuring them adequate conditions to develop their work.

Family Agriculture

Family agriculture is a form of agriculture practiced on small rural properties by families and some employees. The objective of family agriculture is to produce food for the consumption of these families, as well as for the general population.

It is a form of agriculture that stands out for its sustainability, as it uses natural techniques and preserves natural resources. Family agriculture is an important source of livelihood for families living in rural areas. It is estimated that about 70% of the food consumed in Brazil is produced by family agriculture, whose process involves traditional techniques and folk knowledge.

This practice contributes to the preservation of biodiversity and environmental balance. Furthermore, it is an important source of income for many families, as it generates employment in the field and improves product quality. In this way, it contributes to the sustainability of activities in the agricultural sector, as families work together to plant the products that are later sold.

Family Agriculture in Brazil

The family agriculture in Brazil accounts for nearly 85% of rural properties, and the Northeast region concentrates half of this percentage. However, mechanization, agribusiness, and the use of pesticides have caused numerous problems for these small farmers, including rural exodus and the marginalization of families.

Law 11.326 of 2006 brought advances in public policy for this sector, establishing guidelines for creating a consistent policy. The resistance of family farmers has been fundamental in reducing the environmental impact caused by modern systems.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

Scientists have created a material six times lighter than air, 75 times lighter than styrofoam, and that becomes stronger the more it is compressed: aerographite seems impossible, but it can reinforce structures, batteries, and satellites.

China innovates and now uses bubbles in construction to prevent dust and noise pollution, with structures up to 50 meters and 20,000 m² that reduce impacts by up to 90% and also operate with advanced sensors and ventilation.

Not even Trump convinces the market: U.S. companies state that Brazil has no substitute, pressure Washington against the 25% tariff, and warn that the measure could raise prices, cause layoffs, delay projects, and harm sectors that depend on stones, wood, seeds, and other Brazilian products.

The country that will host COP31 has lost 186 of its 250 lakes in half a century, saw boats abandoned in dry areas, and now faces advancing desertification, the collapse of migratory birds, and communities leaving regions where water has disappeared.
