Distribuição geográfica das unidades de referência do programa de transferência de tecnologia para sistemas de integração lavoura-pecuária-floresta

Abstract

The project to transfer technology to systems that integrate crop, pasture and forest was distributed throughout the national territory aiming insert Technological Reference Units (URT´s) to evaluate the performance of the interaction between different agricultural activities and create foundations for the transmission of knowledge . Aiming to promote the renewal and protection of natural resources, optimizing the income of farmers and promoting sustainability of the property, the crop-pasture-forest rotation system (iLPF) increases the results in production through the enhancement of soil use, allowing for diversification of crops suitable for each region of the country. In the context of technology transfer and insertion of the URT's, viewing their spatial distribution allows better management of the actions of program to fill gaps in areas where, due to socio-economic weaknesses, this system becomes more important. The URT's are concentred on South, besides observing a significant number in the states of Rio Grande do Sul, Minas Gerais and Paraná. In terms of physiographic and socio-economic characteristics, the URT's are in the greatest quantity in the area of Atlantic Rainforest, where there is great pressure on natural resources, allowing a clear gain with iLPF system.
