Tecnologias em prol do desenvolvimento rural sustentável: metodologias de compartilhamento com produtores rurais e avaliação de impactos socioeconômicos e ambientais

Abstract

During the period from January to November 2014, research activities have been developed involving family farmers, in southern Mato Grosso do Sul. Thus aimed to meet alternative means for achieving sustainable development, based on constructs, especially touted by the Triple Bottom Line. The Sustainable Development which will take place from the balance between the aims of economic, social and environmental dimensions, by assessing the impact of spring green manures / summer preceding the cultivation of corn. As well as a comprehensive review of literature in order to list innovations of technology transfer, where the generation and exchange of knowledge and technology are some of the major challenges for sustainable rural development. The research work carried out were divided into two chapters, the first of which deals with "Methodologies and innovative process technology sharing with technicians and farmers" that aimed to raising a wide literature review in order to to list methodologies that have character innovative with respect to predominantly used in different regions of Brazil, where the consolidation of existing networks and the application forms and innovative models of exchange and collective construction of knowledge proved an essential approach to sustainable development. The second chapter dealt with the theme "socio-economic and environmental impacts of green manure crop preceding the corn crop under management in agro-ecological bases." The survey was conducted in the central region south of Mato Grosso do Sul. Data were obtained through interviews to nineteen farmers, users of the technology after applying the Snowball Sampling methodology, which were carried out using a script as the AMBITEC- SOCIAL and AMBITEC- AGRO. Also a complementary evaluation by respondents was carried out by means of questions drawn up by researchers at Embrapa Agropecuaria Oeste. Where the main results showed positive social impacts, such as increased income generation, about the environmental relate to the drastic reduction in the use of agrochemicals / inputs, as the economic proven to be economically viable from the point of view of the Value Net Present.
