The commercialization of agricultural production in rural settlements plays a fundamental role in generating income and ensuring the sustainability of family-based production systems. In the municipality of Araras, São Paulo (SP), settled farmers face structural and institutional challenges that influence their strategies for product distribution and market access. This research seeks to understand the trajectories and potential of agricultural commercialization in these settlements, analyzing the main channels used, the impact of commercialization methods on family perceptions, and the public policies that could affect this process. The dissertation is organized in an article format, consisting of a general introduction and 3 chapters/articles. In the first chapter, data collection began with a systematic literature review, aiming to identify the main themes addressed by national and international journals regarding commercialization and family farming, through a systematic literature review (SLR). In Chapter 2, based on primary data collection through research forms and the application of an importance scale, the study investigated how farmers are characterized through a descriptive and exploratory analysis of the general aspects of the settlements, production, and commercialization, contributing to the debate on strengthening family farming and building fairer and more sustainable markets. Finally, in Chapter 3, the aim was to analyze how the perceived importance of commercialization methods affects the possibilities of commercialization channels, through statistical analysis. The results of the first chapter identified that the journals cataloged in the national database are more closely linked to direct aspects related to short commercialization channels, while international database journals are more associated with studies addressing general aspects related to commercialization channels. Chapter 2 found that the commercialization channels most aligned with the perceptions of settled farmers are Farmers' Markets and Direct Sales, followed by Supermarkets/Markets and Government Programs, highlighting a preference for the multimodality of existing commercialization channels. Chapter 3, through its statistical modeling, identified that the higher the rating given to Farmers' Markets and Direct Sales, the greater the likelihood of commercialization by settlers, while for Government Programs, the higher the rating, the lower the likelihood of commercialization, indicating a barrier to commercialization. We can conclude that among the farmers in the settlements, there is a multimodality of short commercialization channels in their perception of the importance of commercialization, identifying that, in addition to ensuring resilience in the face of adversity, the ability to be flexible in selecting channels provides an income flow that helps them develop their socioeconomic activities.
