Abstract

The present study aims to describe and analyze the activities of the RS Biodiversity Project developed in family livestock farms in the Municipality of Santana da Boa Vista - RS. The methodology used to carry out the research was the application of a semi-structured questionnaire, with open and closed questions, through a visit to all participating properties, according to data provided by EMATER-RS. The data collected in the field were tabulated in electronic spreadsheets, where the results were obtained for the conclusion of the research work. Through this study we can identify that there was an increase in livestock production, greater docility of the animals, an improvement in the profile of the existing native field, preservation of slopes and springs, besides giving the livestock farmer better knowledge and manage their production. As a conclusion, we can observe that the RS Biodiversity project presented many social and economic benefits for most of the producers participating in the project and also environmental benefits to the Pampa Biome.
