Agroforestry systems as an agroecological alternative: Review

Abstract

The objective of this work is to explore the potential of implantation and enrichment of a Saf in an agroecological-based property in the municipality of Santarém, implementing with special techniques and arrangements to increase productivity and biodiversity, consequently producing less aggressively and less aggressively the local ecosystem. The forests that cover the planet present great vegetal richness, with diverse beneficial effects on the climate and water resources, resulting from the great biomass and the fixation of carbon. Through SAF's different strata or plant stages are created, trying to imitate a natural forest, where the agricultural crops and vegetation influence the process of nutrient cycling and the use of solar energy are considered the basic and main structural elements for stability of the system. In this way, the implantation of Agroforestry Systems in rural properties can maximize the productive scale in small areas, expanding the physical, chemical and biological processes in the agroecosystems, where the Agroforestry System was implanted.
