| Summary: | In this article we analyze conditions for the construction of systems for
financing processes of sustainable land development in rural áreas. In
particular, we look at possibilities and dilemmas surrounding the financial
inclusion of impoverished social segments and for increasing the participation
of territorial organizations in the management of these systems.
Based on these two issues, our work looks at empirical experiences that
demonstrate progress made in this direction: the Crediamigo Program of
the Banco do Nordeste and the cooperativism of the “solidarity” credit
form that has sprung up in Brazil’s southern region. We conclude that both cases present innovative institutional arrangements that have generated
results that have had a relevant impact on the volume of loans, the area
that they reach out to and cover, the percentage of the population attended
and systems of governing. Nonetheless, both must perfect their forms of
action if they are to attend to intersectorial demands thatfocus on the
development of the lands within which they are at work.
Keywords: sustainable land development, financial inclusion, governing
