Abstract

Description of some of the concomitant processes that led to the marginalization of the agraria reform policy during the PT federal administration in Brazil until the 2016 Cup. These governments, in addition to strenghthening the abribusiness pact, distributed less land to farm workers. Additonally, they associated public policies focused on this sector with the projection of the term family farmers, but detached from the struggles around the Brazilian agrarian questiona, wich led to the strengthening of the actors linked to the maitenance of land concentration.
