Sustentabilidade em pequenas propriedades: uma proposta educativa

Abstract

Sustainability values the biodiversity and diversification of production in the same agricultural area, which allows the optimization of productive space, with lower environmental impacts, adapting to the climatic conditions of the region and the interests of the farmer himself. In this work, we sought to survey the research carried out in Rio Grande do Sul to verify the potential of implementing the diversification of production in small farms. For this purpose, articles were searched in the Dialnet database that discuss the benefits of diversification of production and its potentialities. Finally, a sustainable proposal is presented from the context of the Liberdade no Futuro agrarian reform settlement in Santana do Livramento, Rio Grande do Sul. This proposal was elaborated based on the Methodology of Trees, which starts from the identification of causes and consequences of conflicts to plan solutions that are feasible by the community itself.
