Abordagem para gestão de resíduos orgânicos gerados em granjas de produção leiteira sob a perspectiva de utilização compartilhada com um enfoque organizacional

Abstract

In order for production systems to be sustainable, they must carry out their activities minimizing negative environmental impacts. In this context, the objective of this work was to characterize the problems of the destination of organic residues generated by milk cattle and, with the support of the literature consulted, propose a form of reuse and correct destination of these residues through a collective action, contributing to the economic efficiency and environmental aspects of the production system. For this purpose, a bibliographic research was developed addressing the themes of environmental management, dairy cattle, agroecology and cooperation networks that provide theoretical support for the elaboration of a script of interviews that was used in the second stage of the elaboration of this work where a research was developed Survey with small farmers from the Pioneira Colony dairy basin located in the interior of the municipality of Aceguá, Rio Grande do Sul (RS). The results of the research evidenced that the main environmental problems caused by milk cattle in the locality are related to the incorrect destination of the organic residues. It can be concluded that a system of treatment and re-use of this waste could be implemented by forming an associative network between producers, which could also help to address the main difficulties reported by producers.
