This article presents statistical analysis that verified the diversity of markets and marketing channels used by family farmers in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul/ Brazil, examining the occurrence of variables associated with the number of channels accessed. The non-probabilistic sample included 129 family farmers who produce fruits and vegetables in four municipalities in the Central Region of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, in the years 2019-2021. Nonparametric tests and bivariate statistical analysis were used, considering the significance level (≤) of 0.05. There was an average number of 2.4 channels in the Local and Conventional Markets, and 3.1 for the Local/Territorial and Public/Institutional Markets. However, a maximum of three channels is used in 75% of establishments. There was a low negative correlation between the mean age of the family farmers and the degree of diversification of the channels used to market the products and a positive correlation between infrastructure and diversificationof channels adopted and,family work and diversification. Finally, a dependency relationship was reported between the number of public policies accessed and the diversification of channels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research aimed to understand the subject regarding the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals and food production through literature reviews covering the timespan from 2001 to 2021. Methodologically, this paper is framed as a literature review and uses the Scopus platform to get to the database, selecting 243 papers. The results pointed out that the United States presented the highest number of published documents (126). When it comes to the origin of affiliation, the universities located in the Netherlands (University of Wageningen) and Canada (University of Guelph) present together the highest number of published documents (24). Among the keywords, the most frequent are food safety, followed by the food supply, sustainability, and climate change. Finally, regarding the main subjects tackled during the analyzed time period, it was verified that the issues concerning public policies, land use, and food safety were discussed throughout the entire timespan. In turn, the most recent period, mainly covering the articles published from the year 2021 on, inserts into the discussion agenda the aspects of Covid-19, the pandemic, and its impacts, especially influenced by the setting experienced worldwide. At the same time, other subjects less discussed took the spotlight, also emerging from the Covid-19 pandemic, such as digital agriculture and digital technology, which began to have major relevance. At last, it is possible to infer that reaching sustainable development goals is even more challenging under a pandemic context experienced by all the countries from 2020 to the present day.

This article seeks to broaden the understanding of the supply of fruit and vegetables through a study of the markets in Santa Maria/Rio Grande do Sul in which the main criteria adopted in the analysis are: types of producer, the different marketing channels and the characteristics of the market used. In Ninety-one growers in Santa Maria/RS were approached, it was found that 50.5% of producers are Small Commodity Producers, 39.5% Simple Commodity Producers and 11% Capitalist Commodity Producers. There is a tendency for markets supported by zero-level channels, with chains hortening, especially Farmers Markets, which accessed by 72% of producers. In 49% of cases, only one marketing channel is explored, in 32%, two, in 16%, three, and only 2% use four channels. Proximity Markets (PM) are most of ten employed by producers, followed by Local and Territorial Markets (MLT), while Conventional Markets (MC) have more limited number of producers involved. We suggest a new producer category, the Rentier Producer, as well as we point out that greater producer autonomy will depend on access to more marketing channels and on a greater control for appropriation of the generated value. Although there are diverse channels where farmers from Santa Maria/RS are inserted, there is greater dependence on MP and MLT, demonstrating how the analyzed production chain is restricted to the local context.

Considering economic, contingent and cultural conditions that interfere with consumer demand, the objective of this research was to evaluate the degree of importance of these variables in the decision of the Brazilian consumer to buy fluid milk. A total 1,015 milk consumers were sampled through non-probabilistic tools such as researchers' contact network, snowballing, and self-generated samples, in a virtual questionnaire. Non-parametric tests and univariate statistical analyzes were applied, including the chi-square test. The consumer profile interferes with the selection criteria in the purchase of fluid milk as follows: (a) women consider "price", "product origin", "friend recommendation", "product appearance", "sales offers", and "brand" as the most important conditioners; (b) young people, aged between 18 and 25, consider "product origin" a less important attribute; (c) consumers over 45 years of age value "price" the less; (d) consumers with incomes of up to one minimum wage value "sales offers" the most. This research theoretically confirmed the hypothesis that prior information regarding milk production, especially brands, lead the decision to buy fluid milk, especially in women case. Product price and availability are complementary constraints. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
