Systematic Review of the Literature on Family Farming and the Social and Solidarity Economy in Brazil and Latin America

Concerned with the increase in hunger worldwide, as well as unemployment and the lack of equity in the distribution of income, the United Nations began to address genuinely Latin American scientific categories in its agendas, assemblies and task forces. The two main categories are Family Farming, with the recent establishment of the Family Farming decade (2019-2028) and the Social and Solidarity Economy as a tool for transposing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the Territories. Together, these categories can be responsible for achieving the SDGs in 78% of the world's territory. There is a need, however, to clarify whether the science produced in Latin America also presents trends of intersection, in the search for the theoretical construction of a new paradigm of production and consumption. In this sense, the objective of this study was to identify trends in scientific production on the categories Family Farming and Social and Solidarity Economy. An adaptation of the PRISMA method was developed as a systematic literature review to identify these trends in the scientific field in Latin America.
