The search was developed starting from the regionalization of the state of Ceará in Rural territories of identity. The research, of a descriptive and explanatory nature, contemplated five territories and six settlements of which we obtained information. Therefore, the survey is based on the bibliographic and field research, with the first one being part of the argumentative structure of the results. After the collect, the information was presented in tables and analyzed through the dialectical historical materialism. The results indicate that the model of rural development promotes the subordination and posteriorly the exclusion of the peasant family agriculture, following the logic of the dominant way of production that subordinates the other ways of production.
