Opis

The Brazilian semi-arid region has typical climatic characteristics, with frequent cycles of drought and eminently agropastoral activities. In the Brazilian semi-arid region, the unsustainable development of agricultural systems has led to significant socio-environmental impacts. In the rural communities of this region, agricultural production consists of the family economic base, which in turn is directly affected by the irregularity of rainfall, the natural characteristics of the region and the lack of public policies aimed at the sustainable development of agricultural systems. Thus, this book develops conceptual issues, presents scientific research in rural communities in the Sertão region of Paraíba, points out reflections and proposals for coexistence with the Semi-Arid by utilizing its potential and mitigating socio-environmental impacts.
