Today, throughout the world, the agricultural sector has the mission of producing food, fiber and energy in a sustainable way, without impacting the biomes, focusing on the conservation of natural resources. New ways of producing gain space between the rural products that vision the preservation of the environment, of the water table of the recovery of degraded areas. Thus, agroforestry systems (SAF) enable the consortium of different trees, crops, new technologies, appropriate management and irrigation of the soil, thus avoiding the erosion and compaction of the same. The objective of this study was to evaluate the environmental efficiency of SAF in the Boa União farm in Dourados - Mato Grosso do Sul. The greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sequestration in the SAF system were measured using the Life cycle. With the results obtained it can be noted that there is the possibility of producing food and contribute to the reduction of hunger of the local population emitting low amount of pollutants to the atmosphere. In addition these results contribute to arouse the interest of changing the agricultural practices of the companies that have the monoculture technologies.
