A agricultura familiar desempenha um importante papel socioeconômico na sociedade, proporcionando a permanência do homem no campo, conseqüentemente evitando o êxodo rural, e reduzindo o crescimento dos cinturões da pobreza em torno das cidades a procura de trabalho. O foco central do presente estudo concentra-se em discutir os motivos que levam as pequenas famílias rurais a buscar diferentes maneiras de se organizar, e de que maneira isso ocorre. Para isso utilizou-se de estudo de natureza descritiva e exploratória, através de 12 entrevistas semi-estruturadas com produtores rurais, representantes de cooperativas, agroindústrias familiares e com o presidente da Agroart na 30ª Expointer/Esteio, RS. Os resultados obtidos com a pesquisa levam a conclusão que a maioria dos produtores rurais e das agroindústrias está buscando se unir com intuito de organizar os processos produtivos, padronizar produtos, com qualidade e em maior escala, facilitando o acesso aos mercados e aumentando os poderes de barganha junto aos fornecedores de insumos e compradores do produto final. Observou-se que, para a maioria das pequenas famílias entrevistadas, há motivação para organizar a produção por meio de cooperativas. A análise dos dados foi feita qualitativamente utilizando como embasamento teórico agricultura familiar, agroindústrias e cooperativas.
