Abstract

Technologies are increasingly present in the daily lives of farmers, whether through the internet or through the technologies in the machinery used, they have the function of helping and facilitating their work. However, their use has grown over the years and with it benefits and difficulties have arisen, as they greatly facilitate communication, sale and purchase of products and with this they have changed the way of organization and work of several properties, but some farmers had more difficulties in adapting to the use of these new technologies and means of work. Based on this situation, this study aimed to analyze the technological changes that occurred in family farming and their impacts, the case study had the help of some interviews, which were carried out with producers from two municipalities of RS, from cities of Panambi-RS and Palmeira das Missões-RS. Despite the small number of interviews, it was clear the changes that the use of technologies made possible to all properties, each in its own way, but all underwent changes. Since, in these properties, the use of the internet and technologies has become indispensable, at all stages, from the acquisition of inputs to the sale of products.
