This article aims to analyze the effects of the National Program for Strengthening Family Farming (Pronaf) on agricultural production, job and income generation in the Santa Rosa settlement, located in the Municipality of Itaquiraí / MS. After a theoretical foundation on Pronaf and peasant agriculture from the perspective of sustainability, the results of the research are presented, which was built from a quali / quantitative approach based on a case study, with interviews and semi-structured questionnaires conducted with beneficiaries of theProgram. From this it was possible to conclude that Pronaf contributed to territorial development with sustainability by raising income, strengthening the productive capacity of peasant agriculture and encouraging the local maintenance of small-scale agricultural activity, even though it has several limitations in relation to its operation and maintenance.
