Abstract
The main objectives of this work were to study agriculture in the municipality of Independência, RS, regarding historical evolution, agroecological zoning, production systems, level of social reproduction and development strategies. The data were obtained from interviews with farmers, thematic maps and statistical data. Agriculture evolved from colonization, modernization, crisis in grain production, to development, at the turn of the millennium. Ten types of production systems and three emerging case studies were identified. Employers' systems and large family farmers have high levels of income and intense use of technology. There are medium-sized family systems with a monthly income above three minimum wages. There is a predominance of small family systems. Among these, two systems and a case reach the level of social reproduction, a monthly minimum wage per unit of work. However, two types and a case do not reach this level. Animal traction is also used in a type of grain production and in a case study. From this, it was concluded that public policies should prioritize types and case studies that do not reach the level of social reproduction, under pain of abandoning their agricultural activities.
