The objective of the research is to estimate the environmental perception of family farmers from the Association of Rural Producers of São Silvestre Farm, a rural community of Malhada, in Crato-Ceará. The methodology used exploratory-descriptive analysis, with data collected from primary research, with the application of a semi-structured questionnaire. The Environmental Perception Index was calculated, comprising three dimensions: perception of habits and social consumption (IPHCS); perception of the environmental impact of economic activity (IPIAAE); perception of the environmental impact of agricultural activity on labor (IPIAMO). The results point to an intermediate value of the farmers' environmental perception both in the general index (IPA equal to 0.631) and in the IPHCS and IPIAMO indexes, with values of 0.767 and 0.742, respectively. The dimension perception of the impacts of economic activity (agriculture) had the lowest value (0.444). Despite the IPA presenting results at an intermediate level, with emphasis on the low result for IPIAAE, environmental perception is a permanent construction.
