In the contemporary world, "ecological" food has been increasingly discussed. Several studies emphasize technical and economic aspects and consider agroecological production as opposed to conventional agriculture, which makes intensive use of agrochemicals. This paper presents the trajectory of a family of ecological farmers -- peasants of Pomeranian origin -- belonging to a community where the majority of farmers works with the production of tobacco in a rural locality in the town of São Lourenço do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. Data collection took place through ethnography, performed along the year of 2012. From the attention to the differences, specificities and peculiarities of the family which constituted the main interlocutor of the research, elements of a common cultural substrate that connects family and community are identified. Thereby, the analysis shows that tradition, religion, cosmologies and meanings of work on land, more than creating divides between two production models, support the links between those who practice them.

This study examines the perception prevalent in rural areas of technology as a product related to the male universe. Bring this research data that show the great distance of rural women's access to technological knowledge, produced and distributed within the university, which is directed to the improvement of quality of life and possibilities to increase the generation of income in rural areas, but the which they still have access insignificant. Worked on this research with the collection of data obtained in courses offered during the Week of the Farmer, over four years, from 2004 to 2007, correlating to each of the frequency of courses offered to men and women to them. We conclude that it perpetuates sexism technological models in the management of production units in rural areas as the woman in a hierarchical condition of complementarity and not as co-manager of the plant family, a condition which restricts access to information and expertise, management, and organization of environmental groups.
