The present work deals with the social-productive organization of the family farm in the district of Palmas, municipality of Bagé, state of Rio Grande do Sul, with the objective to verify the existence of a differentiation in the territorial configuration of the municipality above from the analyze of the rural property of familial character. Thereby, it was attempted to analyze the territorial organization in the meridional campaign region from a historical perspective of the land property and from the review of concepts of the social category of family farming, investigating the origin of the Brazilian political-legal order and the instruments of land property acquisition. Therefore, it is aimed to comprehend the reproduction strategies of the family farmers living in the municipality of Bagé, from the comparison of the theory that underlies the family farming, property and territory concepts and the empiric reality observed in the district of Palmas. It was concluded that family farmers adopt specific strategies of social reproduction, as the using of familial workforce, production for self consumption, the pursuit of autonomy in the process of commercialization, yet the livestock and crop production diversification. The land property for the family farmer consists not only in a heritage land of material character, but in a symbolic living space that keeps the memory of the family group and reproduces it for the future generations. Moreover, by the realized research it was proved that the governmental actions that aim the straightening of familial family farming are extremely necessary to (re)organize the physical and social-productive basis of the familial rural property and to promote the territorial development
