In rural areas the natural resource soil has been heavily depleted due to inadequate farm practices, which may result in chemical soil degradation, physical soil degradation and mostly results in social and economic fragmentation of peasant agriculture. These degradations impaired the agricultural production and consequently the maintenance of the settled families and in these situations are noted the presence of non-agricultural activities as a method of family ancillary income. In this context was formed the rural settlement Horto Aimores. It is located on the center of Sao Paulo state between the cities of Bauru and Pederneiras.
