Resumo: This work presents the results of a study on the potential for rural development and the livelihoods of family farmers in Tombos and Araponga cities, both located in the Forest Zone of Minas Gerais – Brazil. For that, two synthetic indicators were used: Rural Development Index - IDR and Living Conditions Index - ICV. These indicators are based on the works of Kageyama (2004 and 2008), Rambo et al. (2012) and Sepúlveda (2008). To calculate the IDR were collected secondary data from the Population Censuses (2000 and 2010), Census of Agriculture (2006) from the Brazilian Institute for Geography and Statistics – IBGE, Rural Development Planes and others studies concerned to both cities mentioned. And to determine the ICV were collected primary data applying questionnaires to the family farmers and interviews were done with institutions´ agents and public agencies. This study promotes a discussion about rural development in the course of time showing the new rurality that has been debated by many researchers, government agencies and rural class´ representatives. The essential of this debate is to understand the reality of rural population and construct collectively programs and public policies that provide subsidies for the promotion of rural development in the economic, social and environmental dimensions. Throughout the text, the reader can follow the dynamics of sustainable rural development through the IDR and meet, by the results of the ICV, the perception of farmers about their real living conditions. The results obtained by IDR pointed a timid evolution in development in both surveyed cities. The overall IDR for Tombos was 0.42 and 0.39 for Araponga, ranked respectively in Low and Middle Low. Except the sub-indicator of environment others had results classified into Medium Low, indicating a low potential for rural development. The presence of supporting and fostering rural development institutions is recognized in both municipalities as important instruments for the process of development in accordance with their legal representatives. However, at the perception of family farmers the performance of the same is short in their demands. This latter group believes that institutions must have their plans redesigned, including a greater involvement of stakeholders in building policies and programs for rural development. Regarding their living conditions, family farmers were satisfied, specially with respect to housing, food, health and cultivable area. Now the related variables the participation in social, political and institutional groups the indices found are ranked in Middle Low and Low, indicating the difficulty in forming social capital and in building networks, which would strengthen the family farmers and would contribute to the sustainable rural development.
