Among theories of environmental sciences, it is mentioned that there are complex, dynamic and constant established interrelations, among agroecology, ecosystems and territories, and for all them family farming is of particular importance as fundamental for subsistence and food security. The objective of this research is to determine the adjacent approaches to Agroecological Family Farming (AFA) and its theoretical construct. This document presents a systematic review of family farming in scientific databases, supplied by bibliographic information stored in scientific journals and books. Among the findings, highlights the fact that the AFA has been a topic of interest since it supports its own fertility and productivity, therefore contributing to the protection of biodiversity within economic, ecological, political, social and cultural dimensions. Finally, it is concluded that the AFA favors generation of good agroecological practices, evidenced through the presence of high numbers of both plant and animal species and their associated knowledge, contributing to greater stability in the use of natural capital and promoting sustainability
