Sistema agroflorestal: alternativa para aliar respostas ecológicas e econômicas

Abstract

Planet earth is going through a series of climatic and economic changes that affect all life. With this, it is necessary to reflect on the modes of operation that lead to disastrous results currently achieved and which agricultural model can be a viable alternative to improve living conditions in the biosphere. The main objective of this work is to bring a historical and current account of the conventional agricultural processes of the green revolution and to present a solution to change the agricultural pattern, for a model capable of delivering positive results in the ecological and economic aspect, being this, the Agroforestry System. For the elaboration of this monograph, the Bibliographic Research method was used to seek the information appropriate to the proposed subject to be studied. Hence, content from agricultural history, agroecology, ecology, agroforestry, among others, was used. With the explanations made in the text, the reader can have a basis on the historical process of formation of modern/industrial agriculture and its influences on the environment and economy, as well as have a basis on what an agroforestry system is and which model is used. is more viable to face humanity's environmental and economic problems. Finally, the methodological differences of each agricultural model are visible and that there really is a need to change production patterns, realizing the importance of using mechanisms that guarantee sustainability in agriculture, to obtain positive results for life on the planet, favoring the environment, economy and society.
