Abstract: This article aims to analyze the Nexus family farming, renewable energies, and market building in the context of the territorial dynamics of the RN, particularly in the territories Açu-Mossoró, Mato Grande, and Sertão Central Cabugi and Litoral Norte. For this, exploratory and descriptive research was conducted, with a qualitative and quantitative approach. Quantitative data on renewable energy production, economic, and market were used for each territory. Data collection techniques were bibliographic, documentary, and field research, through interviews with the managers of family farmers’ cooperatives, containing at least one representative from each evaluated territory. As a result, it was found that the contributions of renewable energy from wind sources installed in these regions are still incipient from the perspective of cooperative managers, although they believe that the appropriation of this technology by family farming could contribute significantly to the expansion of food production and market building.
