The objective of this<br>study was therefore to analyze the components of risk management<br>applied to family farming. To this end, we performed an exploratory<br>study using data from a statistical survey of the 2018 Agricultural<br>Census. Our results showed risks that were classified between medium<br>and high. We observed that 45.8% of producers received retirement<br>funds, implying they tend to be an older population. As a result,<br>family succession work aimed at strengthening agricultural activities<br>through technical assistance and rural extension (ATER) are necessary,<br>since 80.1% of properties do not receive specialized guidance. We<br>also found that 59% of the producers are not registered with the<br>Declaration of Aptitude to Pronaf (DAP), which is an instrument used<br>to access differentiated public programs. In this case, we observed<br>that 52.2% of credit comes from government programs, with Pronaf<br>accounting for the highest volume of credit (40.2% of resources).<br>Using these data, we find that integrated risk management contributes<br>to the daily activities of the rural producer, promotes the continuous<br>improvement of the family business, assists in decision-making, and<br>ultimately results in a reduction of losses and increases family income.</p>}, journal={Quaestum}, author={Castro Tavares, Rafael and Pinheiro, Cassia Renata}, year={2020}, month={nov.}, pages={1–18} }
