The distance between producers and consumers, with the concentration of purchase in super and hypermarkets in urban centers, allied to a growing demand for food without pesticide residues, has triggered a strong demand for the guarantee of products conformity, processes and services with technical standards and regulations (private and public) evaluated by the certification systems of establishments under ecologically based productive handling. A number of standardization, regulatory and quality assurance initiatives have emerged throughout the world for a wide range of agricultural, cattle and forestry products. Since the 1990s, different streams of sustainable production (ecologically based handling) with a full set of standards and protocols make up this scenario, which is gaining prominence in Brazil and in the world. The public policies of food and nutritional safety played a fundamental role for the family farmers in this transition process of the productive systems. Programs such as PAA (Food Acquisition Program) and PNAE (National School Feeding Program) which in addition to promoting the recognition of ecological and family based production as a priority, also promote the valorization of this productive system, since it establishes awards and gives priority to the purchase of food produced by family farmers registered in the CNPO (National Registration of Organic Producers) from MAPA (Ministry of Agriculture, Cattle and Food Supply) in public call processes for food purchases by the federal, state and municipal governments. Nevertheless, even with the publication of PNAPO (National Policy on Agroecology and Organic Production) in 2012, producers who are undergoing agroecological transition are not recognized by the public agents involved in government purchases to access differentiated markets due to the lack of identification / recognition. The overall goal of the dissertation was to identify and analyze the initiatives of voluntary sustainable standards for agroecosystems, food production in agroecological transition and public policies, focusing on the certification "SAT - without pesticides" developed in Minas Gerais as a qualification tool for agricultural production and access to distinct markets, using the case study methodology. The SAT certification scope emerged in 2005 as an alternative to certification processes for organic production audits, with the purpose of assigning qualification to products produced by farmers inserted in processes of agroecological transition, mainly on environmental and social sustainability aspects. Originally the SAT standards were shaped to be a phase of the production systems while the conversion to the organic production of the productive systems was not carried out. On the other hand, this hypothesis was not confirmed. However, with compliance control of the production management rules under ecological and sustainable basis, the SAT system (standards and certification) has been emphasizing in the agricultural scenario of Minas Gerais, since minor producers in the agroecological transition SAT-certified have been able to obtain values on their products above those practiced for conventional products in the markets (direct sales to the consumers and sales to counties) as occurs with organic products (PAA and PNAE) that are institutionalized in federal laws.
