Análise de viabilidade financeira de sistemas agroflorestais biodiversos em Mato Grosso do Sul

Abstract

Biodiversity agroforestry systems (SAFs) provide the improvement of the economic, social and environmental quality of life, as they allow for sustainable forms of food production and food security. In addition, they make possible the preservation of the environment, since they combine fruit tree or woody species, with agricultural crop s and / or animal breeding, in the same area. This work aimed to analyze the financial viability of two agroforestry systems models implemented in the city of Dourados, MS, providing subsidies for research of this nature and encouraging farmers to implemen t SAFs. For this, two SAF's of 1 hectare were implanted with selected crops of interest: SAF1 - coffee, pineapple, corn, beans; SAF2 - pupunha palm, banana, pineapple, maize, beans, besides nine tree species: acerola, graviola, guava, pitanga, aroeira, guar itá, ipê, canafístula and pigeon chest in both SAFs. For the planning and elaboration of the systems, the AmazonSAF worksheet was used, where income and expenses data were inserted that reflect the reality of the family agriculture, verifying the profitabi lity over 20 years. The results demonstrated financial viability conditions in both SAFs, proving that agroforestry systems become possible solutions for sustainable agriculture, valuing and using natural resources wisely and generating income for rural producers.
