This work is the result of an ethnographic research carried out with the marketers-family farmers of the Central de Comercialização da Agricultura Familiar (CECAF) in the city of João Pessoa, between the end of 2021 and the first half of 2022. The objective was to investigate whether the marketers-family farmers of the CECAF suffered from the contradictions of capitalism, expressed in the difficulty in ensuring their Food and Nutrition Security (FNS) in times of economic crisis and pandemic, even producing and selling food in natura. In order to understand how the dismantling of Food and Nutritional Security policies at the national level, which reached its peak with the deactivation of the National Food and Nutritional Security Council (CONSEA), impacted family agriculture in the local context of Paraíba. To this end, an ethnographic and qualitative research was developed, using as main research tools: observational participation, interviews and field notebook. The research locus were the CECAF and CONSEA-PB. Thus, it was found that even though the Paraíba state government acts in the sense of maintaining and expanding the SAN policies, it was observed that its actions have 10 limitations in scope and budget, given the absence of support from the federal government. Besides, the market-keepers-family farmers of the CECAF, even though they report experiencing difficulties due to the economic crisis and the pandemic, with reduced income in many cases, argue that they have been able to guarantee their own FNS. This, even though they have had to make changes in their food consumption, inserting a larger than usual amount of ultra-processed products in their diets.
