The dissertation is about a community made up of settlers. Nova Ramada is determined by an intensive agricultural production work force constituted by the family. The presence of this new core in a given spatial municipal spatial circumstances has caused profound changes on the current rural landscape. The constituted social set has met, over twenty years, different times of economic production and social reproduction, moments that solidified the socioeconomic relations and contributed to the change in food production and its availability in the urban city, by offering new products and ensuring the supply of the urban population; moreover, promoting the emergence of initiatives that transform the products both in rural as in urban areas. At first, the need to produce to survive and obtain additional income secured forms of subsistence production and the market. Today, the option is to produce to achieve higher productivity gains through specialization. The use of added work on land and in complementary activities takes place incorporating technological mechanisms, with the use of machinery and planting techniques, seed and soil management. This production model, which guides the agricultural activities, has allowed transformations of the rural landscape. Today, Nova Ramada can be considered a place made up of family farmers, with intensive and diversified production, technology aggregator and serving the local market, and even to a regional level, promoting behavioral changes of the urban market and the local consumer society.
