Valoração econômica dos serviços ambientais prestados pelo sistema de integração lavoura-pecuária-floresta: uma análise de um experimento de longa duração da Embrapa gado de corte

Abstract

The economic valuation of environmental services has been presented as an instrument of ecological distribution, in other words, a way to recognize the ability to economically preservation of each production system, to internalize environmental costs venture for he produced. The production system of crop-livestock integration-forest (iLPF) presents itself as a new alternative to more sustainable production that monoculture because consorts to cattle to forestry, integrating crop and alternating. The iLPF system promotes the generation of environmental services, including those services carbon sequestration, which quantified has economic and representativeness may be sold on the market at the international level. This work aims to make the economic valuation of carbon credits in the iLPF system, based on long-term experiment conducted at Embrapa Beef Cattle, Campo Grande, MS. As a methodology, will be replicated the method used by Porfírio-da-Silva et al. (2010) for calculating the Carbon biomass and the methodology proposed by Silva (2007) to quantify the economic representation of carbon sequestered in the production system. The results will be presented in the form of two articles that comprise the dissertation.
