| In order to ensure the economic sustainability of a small-scale agroindustrial project, it is essential that proper investment opportunity studies be conducted, observing, among other factors, the business model and its associated risks. An adequate ability to perform this analysis is also considered essential to guarantee the effectiveness of development programs.

| The evaluation of the performance of rural enterprises is usually based on financial and productive factors. Indicators related to personal and family aims are rarely considered under such perspectives. In this context, this research proposes a systemic model for managing family farming. The conceptual model reveals, by using financial and non-financial performance indicators, the interaction of family needs and the production and financial oriented approaches that occur in this type of business. Farm Management, System Thinking and Balanced Scorecard were the theoretical guidelines of this work. Based on the theory and on the empirical study carried out, it was possible to identify the key variables, and their inter-relations, that affect rural enterprise... |

The innovation, in this sense, is the treatment of all these factors together, searching to identify the cause-effect relations. Such instrument provides the understanding of all factors together that affect in the company result. Thus, the rural managers have a map to make their business decisions. Moreover, another factor that must be detached is the idiosyncrasies of rural firms, and specifically from smallholder farms. These factors are among others, the presence of family works, small scale, and family... |
