This article is dedicated to the analysis of the food habits of three rural communities in northwestern Paraná, Brazil, family farming, they are: Pirapitinga, Marajó and Santa Rita. For this, we use the theoretical contribution of the anthropology of food, proposing a reflection of a qualitative nature, from the social function, related to the concept of culture, whose assumption is that cultural constructions determine what is edible in each community. It is understood that the relative behavior of food is an effective tool for understanding the dynamics of social relations, showing cultural, historical, economic and environmental factors. An ethnographic methodology and analysis of 45 semi-structured interviews, we seek the understanding and analysis of the process of identity construction, supply, its structure, organization and values.
