Production of vegetables in syntropical agroforestry systems without irrigation: an alternative to a water crisis and recovery of degraded areas

Abstract

This work aims to expose the most relevant experiences among the productive projects implemented
by JK AgroSustentável at the end of 2016 and beginning of 2017. Among the most
relevant aspects is the production of foods with high water recession, especially the vegetables
that have mutch requirement of water. With the demonstration of techniques present in Synthropic
Agriculture, the system becomes a complement for agroecology, as it further breaks
down the paradigms of conventional agriculture, in which it allows the recovery of degraded
areas on a large scale concomitantly with the production of food without the use of agrochemicals.
Thus, this system presents economic and socio-environmental viability, which makes it a
truly sustainable system.
