This article aims to reflect about social invisibility and politics for some social segments, among which family farmers stand out, and also about the consequences of this invisibility in legal harvest verification, as this segment often faces legal conflicts from the breach of environmental legislation. The methodology applied in this study was public consultation to prosecutor files from Viçosa County, Minas Gerais, and process analysis. In conclusion, the social and political invisibility’s work extends to the legal field because such social groups find it difficult not only to access information but also defense mechanisms.
