INTEGRAÇÃO LAVOURA-PECUÁRIA-FLORESTA: AGRICULTURA SUSTENTÁVEL

Abstract

This study aimed to study and analyze, through literature review, the Crop-Livestock-Forest Integration System (iLPF) and its benefits for Brazilian agriculture. The definition of iLPF can be as a production strategy that involves several productive, agricultural, livestock and forestry systems within the same area. This system has been consolidated in Brazil as an important option for the agricultural productive sector, being adopted at different levels of intensity in the Brazilian biomes. Being considered a system that needs several factors interacting dynamically with each other, so that the expected result occurs. ILPF is considered an alternative for agricultural management that aims at sustainable factors, both biological and economic, adding value and mitigating the effects of seasonality, through its benefits. Integration also reduces the use of agrochemicals, opening up new areas for agricultural purposes and environmental liabilities.
