| Sumario: | Family farming is the main source of staple food production in our country. In this sense, Agroecology arose with the objective of trying to supply a lack left by the State regarding the economic, social and environmental aspects, affected by the conventional production model. The major challenge of small agricultural production units is management, especially in agroecological production units. The objective of this research is to analyze the management profile of the production units associated with Rede Ecovida, located in the municipality of Laranjeiras do Sul. Agroecological Certification is an informal organization without legal structure, organized in groups. To extract the data, an applied descriptive research was carried out, with data collection, performed as a survey. The population investigated were all eighteen agroecological production units, associated with the Ecovida Certification Network, located in the municipality of Laranjeiras do Sul. The approach was a predominantly qualitative research. Through interviews, it was possible to identify the socioeconomic profile; production profile; and the management profile of the eighteen units associated with the Ecovida Agroecology Network in Laranjeiras do Sul, Paraná. The results showed that the management profile of the surveyed units are relatively young, low-educated producers with per capita income below the national average. The surveyed producers do not have any physical record of the activities and therefore perform the management by their empirical knowledge.   |
