FAMILY FARMING: AND CAP-AND-TRADE, A NEW MARKET TO AGGREGATE

Abstract

The research focuses on the opportunity to increase the income of family farmers through their participation in the voluntary greenhouse gas capture market. To clarify the facts found in the study, a bibliographic review was used, covering a global and, later, national context, pointing out the scenarios and highlighting the events that led to the confirmation of the hypothesis. For the central possibility, it is assumed that the participation of family farmers in the greenhouse gas capture market can generate income, therefore, increasing the gains obtained when associated with the crop already established in the agrispace. Another point addressed in the study is how family farmers can participate in this market, offering valuable contributions to aggregate this target audience in this new market, which until now has been little explored.
