There is a need to develop an alternative economy where exploitation can be avoided, new prospects for productive occupation and reinforce trajectories of social inclusion. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to analyze the process of relationships, practices and translations of the formation of a family farming network in the city of Porto Velho-RO, from the perspective of the Actor-Network Theory. Its relevance is to provoke reflections on who are the actors of this network, how they influence and are influenced and what are the results of this interaction. This article is characterized by being an analytical research, qualitative and directed by a case study. It was used the Actor-Network Theory (ANT), which brings important contributions, because it is an approach that proposes a modification in relation to what is meant by "social". It was concluded that the network was built around three pillars: peasant ideology, market and public sector. The peasant ideology includes the farmers 'organization, the Rural Workers' Union of Brazil, the National Confederation of Agricultural Workers (CONTAG) and the Union of Family Farming and Solidarity Economy Cooperatives (UNICAFES). The public sector is represented by the municipal departments SEMED, SEMAGRIC together with the municipal schools, by CONAB and EMATER. The market comprises SEBRAE and consumers of agroecological products. It has been found that the public sector along with peasant ideology are responsible for including more vulnerable farmers into the network, and the extent to farmers consolidating, they migrate from peasant to entrepreneurial.
