Avaliação de indicadores de sustentabilidade em sistemas agroflorestais na Aldeia Indígena Bororó, Dourados/MS

Abstract

Indigenous communities face challenges such as environmental degradation, water scarcity, and economic constraints, factors that compromise quality of life, biodiversity, and traditional agricultural practices. In this context, Agroforestry Systems (AFS) emerge as an alternative to integrate environmental recovery, food production, and income generation. This study evaluated ten SAFs implemented in the Bororó Indigenous Village, in Dourados-MS, between September 2024 and December 2025. The research involved field visits, interviews with families, the use of drones, and the application of a matrix with 30 indicators. The results showed an increase in species diversity, improvements in soil quality, and advances in food security, although water shortages still compromise part of the systems. It was concluded that SAFs strengthen food autonomy and environmental recovery, but depend on greater water infrastructure and continuous technical assistance.
