The present study aimed to identify the family farmer's perception and environmental behavior regarding the impact of the use of illicit pesticides. The research was qualitative, descriptive and exploratory, applied to 365 family farmers in the western region of Paraná. The data collection instrument was the model called Environmental Variable, Consumer Perception and Behavior - VAPERCOM. It was found that family farmers in Western Paraná have a great chance of becoming ecological consumers, with high environmental perception and strong concern about the LCA stages of a product, disagreeing with the weak ecological profile of pesticides of illicit origin. However, economic issues involving prices and costs, lack of knowledge in identifying these products and the highly harmful effects on human health, as well as the environment, can be the main causes for its use in the researched region.
