There more than a decade, the Food Acquisition Programme, here called PAA, as a government public policy complementary to “PRONAF” and the “Zero Hunger Program”, aims to encourage family agriculture, foment rural development, to promote the food safety and nutritional and combating poverty and social vulnerability in the country. The changes promoted by this policy can be realized in several researches, legitimizing the importance of the program. In this sense, this research aimed to analyze the socioeconomic changes of farmers benefited by the PAA in “Península do Cavernoso” community in the county of Candói-PR. As well as, to analyze the dynamics developed by these farmers, associated to execution of the program.

In this way, it is a parallel between those years in order to realize the changes that the PAA brought for farmers, their property and for the community.
