Prestação de serviços ambientais em unidades de produção familiar rurais no município de Pacajá - território da Transamazônica - Pará - Brasil

Abstract

In most of the establishments of the family agriculture in the region of Transamazônica, the traditional system of agriculture, system call is used cuts and it burns, that it is characterized by the use of an area by one to two years, following for several years of rest. Maybe for that, still prevail the vision of the Amazonian family production identified as a "migratory" agriculture with temporary cultures returned for the subsistence, being configured as problem social and now big villainous ecological. The family agriculture, in counterpoint the that vision, is a strategic section for the maintenance and recovery of the job, redistribution of the income, warranty of the alimentary sovereignty of the country and construction of the maintainable development. In the family agriculture, it prevails a tendency of growing diversification of the systems of agricultural production now, including of form variable perennial cultures and temporary, small creation, vegetable extraction and even livestock, in other words, systems more diversified and balanced of the productive and ecological point of view. In that sense, the work intends to verify the environmental services rendered potential in systems of family farmers' production starting from the productive practices used along an agricultural cycle. So that if could accomplish a comparison among the different types of production systems and to avoid the generalization of the analysis the typology of the production systems was accomplished. For that the tool was looked for Eco- Cert.Proambiente, developed by Embrapa, of the which the beginnings criteria and indicators so that the practices used by the families were appraised. A group of verification head offices was built where each one of the practices was evaluated second all the selected indicators. The reached results showed that the production systems that presented larger diversification of productive activities have potential adult of installment of the environmental services for presenting a larger number of practices used along an agricultural cycle, however the fact of the families make part of the program Proambiente contributes also so that that potential is favored, because to the they adhere to the program the families left of dropping areas of forests and they reduced the use of the fire considerably as agricultural practice.
