Abstract

This paper is a systematic review of the financial management in farms. This review aims to gather and select articles discussing the implementation of projects and management qualification programs for farmers, which aim to manage the land and the production. The methodology used in this research is the search and assortment of papers, first on the basis Web of Science and further on Capes basis and Google Scholar. The search results brought 16 papers published between 2000 and 2023 and wrote by Brazilian authors. From the results was possible to identify four focuses of interest: the education level of the farmers; the tools, methods, and management techniques; accounting; costs; training and ATER. The main conclusion identifies a lack of management ability on the farms. This fact leads to the need for studies to investigate the causes of this deficit as well as the development of projects and programs to repair that.

Keywords: management programs; technical assistance; family farming; sustainability.
