Abstract

The production of self-consumption is a classic practice of social reproduction of family agriculture, and this type of production plays important roles in the contemporary rural environment, despite the profound changes that have occurred over the years. In Brazil the production of self-consumption is present in most agricultural establishments, being more prevalent in family farms. The production of food for self-consumption is prevalent in family agriculture, and the intensity, form and motives by which it is practiced is peculiar to each place and group of individuals, but it is possible to identify that both segments have shared ideas, where we can Highlight central ideas regarding. Therefore, it is understood that the production for self-consumption in family agriculture has different meanings (biological, environmental, political, social, cultural, economic and ethical), that is, it is a question of food freedom.
