Assistência técnica e extensão rural em propriedades rurais do município de Anápolis-Goiás

Abstract

Brazilian agriculture is a growing activity with great representation in the national and international market. One of the classes responsible for this milestone are family farmers, holders of more than half of national production, but who face difficulties in their farming systems and in obtaining of resources. Therefore, they need help to improve their production techniques, a scenario in which technical assistance and rural extension companies operate. The action of technicians and extensionists is essential in the inclusion of knowledge, new technologies, improvement of management and administration. The objective of this coursework is to present a brief literature review about Brazilian agriculture, including the importance of family farming and technical assistance and rural extension, and to describe the mandatory internship report carried out at the local office of the Goiana Agency of Technical Assistance, Rural Extension and Agricultural Research (EMATER), in Anápolis-Goias.
