Abstract

The run analysis shows the importance of the interaction between the actors involved in public policy network focused on family agriculture for rural development. In this perspective, we study the successful case of Cooperativa do Povoado da Cruz/RN, located in Currais Novos/RN, in the period 2005-2014. Given the diversity in the number of actors involved in public policy in certain cooperatives to support family farming, we seek to identify the network of actors that acts around the Cooperativado Povoado da Cruz in on behalf Programa de Aquisição Alimentar. Through deductive method, the implementation of a research project builds the hypothesis of the effectiveness of state actors to achieve viable through government and state programs the development of cooperative. The results show the presence of predominant actors for the development of Cooperativa do Povoado da Cruz/RN. It follows, therefore, that the network involved in cooperative acts on behalf of the Programa de Aquisição Alimentar, requiring broad involvement between state and society.
