Integrated agroecological production systems Savanna ecosystem

Conventional agriculture has a negative impact on the environment, especially on natural resources. The agricultural production system of the Núcleo de Desarrollo Endógeno "19 de abril" has been developing conventional agro-productive activities, which have affected natural resources, through practices such as deforestation, use of agricultural machinery, detour of water bodies, chemical control of pests and diseases, without conservation of plant biodiversity and other natural resources such as water and soil, without observing any increase in production. To achieve the objective of designing a proposal for an integrated agricultural production system as an agroecological alternative in savanna ecosystems in the Núcleo de Desarrollo Endógeno 19 de abril, the research methodology is of a projective or feasible and descriptive project type, with a field and documentary design, using participant observation, questionnaires and interviews. Upon analyzing the results, it was determined that it is necessary to promote a new agricultural model with collective participation that contributes to sustainable development.
