The initiatives in extension actuation advising cooperatives of family farming on the management cover important specificities so that they have satisfactory effectiveness. This article showed, through the systematization of notes, bibliographical and documentary research and participant observation, the relation between the themes of interdisciplinarity, rural extension and cooperativism of family farming, demonstrating their applications through the performance of the “MaisGestão” project. It was concluded that the extension professionals faces challenges for management assistance, both in terms of the scope of interdisciplinary work, but also in the complexity of the cooperative organization and in the provision of autonomy and emancipation of those assisted.
