Abstract

This stud anal zes the conditions and factors that favor the permanence of oung farmers in the Erechim region, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, with emphasis on so bean production and land leasing. Although rural outh exodus remains predominant, there is a specific segment of oung people, mostl from famil farming, who choose to remain in the countr side b engaging with agribusiness d namics and agricultural modernization. Based on a qualitative approach and the anal sis of three case studies, the research seeks to understand how these oung farmers build productive strategies, access public policies, and integrate into competitive markets. It is important to note that this profile represents a minorit within rural outh as a whole, et it holds significant economic and social relevance in the territories where it operates. Permanence is associated with management skills, the use of technolog , and the support of famil , cooperative, and institutional networks. B giving visibilit to this group, the stud contributes to the debate on rural outh, succession, and sustainable development, while also recognizing the diversit of strategies that enable sta ing in the countr side.
