The Brasil Sem Miséria program has provided financial assistance to help families develop their gardens and invest in irrigation and poultry farming, enabling them to increase production and income. Families have also formed mutually beneficial relationships, such as buying eco-friendly produce directly from neighbors. The focus is on promoting sustainable agriculture, reducing costs, and improving overall health and well-being. Families have executed various socio-assistential actions, including home renovations, and have increased their consumption of vegetables and proteins. The goal is to generate income not only for the future but also in the present by selling excess produce to neighbors and local markets. The families are proud of their progress and look forward to continuing to improve their lives in the rural community.

• 00:00:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Famílias descobrem como melhorar de vida permanecendo no campo - Rio Grande Rural," some families from Mampituba discovered how to improve their lives by staying in the countryside. They were part of the Brasil Sem Miséria plan with limited money and decided to start small gardens and chicken coops, increasing their income and food supply for the entire family. The family, originally from the rural area of Mampituba in the northern Rio Grande do Sul, had moved to the city due to the belief that it could offer better opportunities. However, after some years of living in the city, which had high unemployment, they returned to the countryside and began to cultivate the land in Cambraia. The lack of employment in the city, where they had moved in 1985, and the isolation and insecurity they felt, motivated them to join the Brasil Sem Miséria program, which provided them with financial assistance to develop their garden and invest in irrigation and poultry farming. With little money, they were able to build a chicken coop and irrigation system themselves, which significantly improved their lives by providing them with a steady source of income and better food security. The family expressed their gratitude to the Emater team for their support and noted that the production in their small garden had been increased, allowing them to grow and sell various vegetables, such as lettuce, beets, tomatoes, beans, carrots, and cabbage, which were used to feed their family. The family felt proud and gratified by their progress.
• 00:05:00 In this section of the "Rio Grande Rural" YouTube video, families in rural areas share their experiences of improving their lives by staying on the farm. The concept of ensuring the social rights of these families to access public policies is emphasized. Senhora Ana, for instance, buys products directly from her neighbor João because she enjoys their eco-friendly and non-toxic qualities. This exchange has led to increased production, such as doubling the yield of beans and implementing alfalfa farming. Families, like that of Cleusa Pacheco, who live on land granted by relatives, have found sustenance through farming and the support of government programs like the "Plano Brasil Sem Miséria." Despite limited resources, families have executed various socio-assistential actions, including gardening, raising animals, and making homemade cleaning products. The goal is to promote self-sufficiency, reduce costs, and improve overall health and well-being. The municipality has selected 30 families for this program, and they have executed 26 of the planned 12 socio-assistential actions, which include visits, workshops, and community events. The focus is on working together with local partners, such as the social assistance secretariat, to promote sustainable agriculture and self-sufficiency.

They have increased their consumption of vegetables and proteins from animals such as chickens and pigs, bringing joy to the families. The money for home renovations comes from savings, accumulated little by little.
