Descripción
Sumario:The objective of the study was to identify the interest of family farmers in the diversification of agricultural activities with the cultivation of tropical flowers in the municipality of Tangará da Serra, MT. It is a research of descriptive nature with a qualitative-quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 19 pairs of farmers. The data collection instrument was a semi-structured form, containing open and closed questions. The research was carried out through on-site visits to the rural properties of the municipality. It was verified that 94.74% of the families know the tropical flowers, however, they can only identify by photos or use of the popular name and that 73.68% have already visualized native species in the property. Although 52.63%showed an interest in the cultivation of tropical flowers, as a strategy of income diversification, they also presented many doubts regarding the forms of cultivation, investment and commercialization, since this is an activity that is not widely exploredin the state. In this sense, the tropical floriculture needs public-private partnerships to subsidize the farmer with specialized technical assistance, specific credit lines and structuring of commercialization channels to flow production in the social context of the region.
