Food markets, in the context of family farming, are crucial to ensuring access to nutritious and healthy food. It is vital to recognize the importance of family farming, valuing the structure of rural settlements and their characteristics to understand access to different types of markets and the challenges involved in accessing them. The aim of this study is to identify, describe and analyze food markets and commercialization channels and construct a typology of markets accessed by family farmers in the settlements of Bonito, MS, Brazil. Thus, the aim is to answer the following research question: what are the main commercialization channels and types of markets accessed by family farmers in Bonito and the respective challenges and opportunities for accessing and remaining included in them? This study on food supply and markets follows an exploratory and descriptive approach. The analyses were supported by quantitative data. Frequency tables and graphs were created to explore the main characteristics of the variables using R Software. The results showed that 75% of the sample have access to local markets, while 15% accessed conventional markets and 9% institutional markets, revealing the Farmers’ Market as the main one accessed. This reinforces the role and power of the construction of new social markets, links, autonomy and capacity for agency.
