Abstract
This study surveyed a total of 15 farmers from the Association of Organic Producers and Producers of the São Francisco Valley (APROVASF), to investigate what motivates or motivated the adhesion of these farmers to the organic production system and what were the problems encountered in maintaining the activity. It is noteworthy that the main difficulties reported were phytosanitary management, production of internal inputs, keeping the records and controls required for organic certification and maintenance of updated organic activity. Thus, it is necessary the promotion and strengthening of public policies that enable the conversion of their agricultural activities and the building of sustainable agroecosystems.
