RESUMO

This work approaches the subject of the new functions of the Brazilian agricultural space; being more specific it is about non-agriculturists rural activities practiced in some rural establishments. The focus of this study was the financings granted for the RS rural program used for the development of non-agriculturists rural activities in the central region of the RS. In a first moment, it was made a preliminary analysis in the selected data - secondary source - supplied by the service of computer science of RS rural program, in a period from January, 1999 to March, 2004. In this sense, it was identified the types of financial activities, the cities benefited for the program in the central region, the beneficiary public as well as the values financed for the program. The results of this inquiry demonstrate that, from the sum of resources financed for income generation, 63% had been destined to non-agriculturists rural activities and only 37% of the resources were destined exclusively for the farming production. 76% of the beneficiary public for the RS agricultural program are in the family farming category, and concerned with the financings for the non-financed griculturists activities, we have 87% as representation of the family farming. Related to the modalities of non-financed agriculturists activities, 52% of beneficiary public had accessed financings for the implementation of agro- industries, 19% for artesanates practice, 19% for commercial promotion and 10% for other activities considered for the program as micro industrials. The inquiry continued in the qualitative direction of getting information related to the social situation, motivations and aspirations of the people benefited for the program. For this, it was made 19 interviews. These interviews were made by means of questionnaires. The choice of the interviewed ones was based on a directed sample, having as criterion the familiar agriculturist category, the representation of the financed activities and the financed sum. Thus, ten families of farmers with activities related to the agro-industry, three families of farmers who works with an artesanates practice, more three families with financings for the micro-industrial production and three interviewed families that were tied with the commercial promotion. The analysis of these interviews demonstrate that the search for non-agriculturists alternatives mainly occur due to: the interest in generating and/or complementing the income, facing up some conditions, as the small available area for agriculture; and also for the interest in taking to advantage and occupying the available time and even as an attempt to "escape" from difficulties concerned with some agricultural works.
