Thus, the proposal developed the Livelihoods Index (IMV) and Living Condition Index (ICV) regarding the implementation of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), an international treaty to which the Brazil is a signatory and facilitator. Thus, to know how family farmers survive in rural areas, it becomes especially important for diversification actions or public policies that contribute to rural development.
