Abstract
Abstract: Public policies are tools used to enable changes in society. They can act and transform different social groups bringing new development perspectives for the beneficiary population. Therefore, it is necessary to outline and plan the implementation process, development and monitoring of policy, in order to control and intervene in possible problems that occur along the way. This paper discusses the public policy that created the “Brazil without Poverty Plan” (PBSM), involving several government departments and combined policies which result in a set of integrated actions to increase income of people living in extreme poverty. The “Productive Inclusiveness” is part of that policy, including the “Technical Assistance and Rural Extension” (ATER) and “Resources to invest” (Foment). Such programs are highly linked in order to increase income of rural populations and bring work perspectives in improving the food and nutritional security of families, improving food quality.
