Brazilian family farming is characterized by its diversity, which is associated with the various elements of its historical background. Considering the importance and the need to hold and share new Family Farming values, we emphasize the role of experimentation and systematization to give visibility to experiences and foster an articulated network involving a proposal for a solidary sustainable development. Valuing and, above all, raising awareness of this potentiality is essential for the establishment of public policies involving Family Farming. In this sense, the project aims to stimulate agroecological initiatives to cope with conditions of water restriction based on systematization processes, training, and liaison, focusing on the development of a specific action that values knowledge and combines traditional and academic knowledge, seeking the autonomy of farming families for the construction of ecological knowledge. Moreover, the project will promote the systematization process of agroecological experiences focusing on water-constrained environments in territories in the states of Bahia and Sergipe. As a result, we intend to improve the relationship with target audiences through agreements with partner organizations to train multiplier agents in the systematization of experiences and establish a network of agroecological farmers.Keywords: Semi-arid, Agroecology, Knowledge Construction, Family Farming
