Sustentabilidade de agroecossistemas em áreas de transição agroecológica do Projeto de Assentamento São Francisco, em Canutama, Amazonas

Abstract

This research was carried out in the São Francisco Settlement Project, located in the south of the municipality of Canutama / AM and had the objective of evaluating the sustainability of the agroecosystems familiar in the agroecological and conventional transition in this locality. As a methodological approach, the IDEA Method was used, using structured interview and direct observation as tools of data collection. With the information, it was possible to identify the agricultural, socio-territorial and economic aspects of the two groups of agroecosystems and, through these, to evaluate sustainability within the agro-ecological, socio-territorial and economic dimensions. Thus, it was identified that both groups of agroecosystems do not show significant differences as to their levels of sustainability, and that both are sustainable only in the agroecological dimension, and the socio-territorial dimension is still limiting.
