-SPACES OF INCLUSION- IN TERRITORIAL GOVERNANCE: THE LEGACY OF BRAZILIAN TERRITORIAL DEVELOPMENT POLICIES IN THE EMPOWERMENT OF SMALLHOLDER FARMING
Resumo
This study aims to assess the impact of Brazilian programs focused on promoting terri‑
torial development in strengthening historically marginalized social groups, specifically
family farming, within the framework of territorial governance. Drawing on the theoretical
framework of territorial governance and institutional arrangements, we empirically analyze
a significant Brazilian experience. Our findings demonstrate that the series of Brazilian ter‑
ritorial development programs resulted in valuable social and institutional learning expe‑
riences, effectively organizing family farming organizations and enhancing their agency
within negotiation arenas within the territory. We argue for the necessity of affirmative
measures and structural reform policies within the scope of territorial governance.
