Sistema agroflorestal na Aldeia Bororó: pontecialidades e desafios

Abstract

This study analyzes the integration of geotechnologies and traditional indigenous knowledge in the implementation of Agroforestry Systems (AFS) in different family units of the Bororó Village, in Dourados-MS. The problem investigated consists of the challenges faced by the community regarding environmental degradation, water scarcity, and the need to strengthen food sovereignty. The objective of the study is to understand how the combination of agroecological practices, traditional management, and modern technologies, including aerial surveying using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and geospatial mapping in QGIS, can contribute to the recovery of degraded areas and the promotion of sustainable production systems. The methodology included bibliographic research, interviews with participating families, georeferencing of the implemented areas, and monitoring of seedlings using geotechnologies. Multiple AFS were implemented in different points of the village, achieving broad community participation and demonstrating high potential for replicability. The results indicate that the integration of technology and traditional knowledge strengthens environmental management, improves territorial planning, increases food security, and values indigenous cultural practices. The main observed potential benefits include community engagement, the diversity of planted species, and the productive autonomy of families. Among the challenges identified are the presence of pests, limited resources, the need for adequate irrigation, and continuous maintenance of the areas. It is concluded that agroforestry systems (SAFs) represent a viable and sustainable strategy to improve the quality of life and promote ethnodevelopment in the Bororó Village, especially when supported by accessible geotechnologies and active community participation.
