Abstract: This article aims to highlight some contributions of Conceição (1991, 2005, 2007, 2013) to the reading of the Brazilian agrarian issue, emphasizing reflections on the process of peasant reproduction amidst the contradictions of capital advancement in the countryside, the agribusiness expansion in a context of capital productive restructuring on a global level, the transformations in the labor world due to the structural crisis, and the intensification of mobility and precarious working conditions both in the countryside and in cities. The research was conducted based on a bibliographic survey, treatment and analysis of concepts that support the debate on the agrarian issue, utilizing, also, secondary data and readings from other authors, especially in the discussion of methodology. It is concluded that it is essential to bring to light the reflections pointed out by the author, mainly due to the observation of few analyses that address the repercussions of the capital crisis and the restructuring it undergoes to meet the objectives of accumulation, including in the countryside, while, contradictorily, peasant reproduction constitutes itself in a unit of submission and confrontation against this process.
