Summary in the original language of the document
O objetivo desse artigo é apresentar os resultados do levantamento dos agricultores familiares em processo de transição agroecológica no Território do Caparaó-ES, e discutir os fatores que afetam esse processo. O estudo revela o potencial dos sistemas agroecológicos para proporcionar maior sustentabilidade à produção familiar. Entretanto, os agricultores identificados enfrentam grandes dificuldades para desenvolverem este potencial, destacandose a falta de mais tecnologias e de assistência técnica com enfoque agroecológico, a falta de uma modalidade de crédito rural que atenda as exigências e peculiaridades do processo de transição e a falta de apoio à comercialização justa.
