Modeling of agroecosystems, an instrument that reveals socioeconomic- ecological relations of experiences

Abstract

Agriculture is the process of converting inputs and ecological resources into products that are
processed in the ecological unit called agroecosystems. Different management logics can be
employed among agroecosystems so that these dynamics can range from more complex, or
simplified, processes. In this sense, it was adopted a cut-off of the AS-PTA Agroecosystem
Methods of Agroecosystems Evaluation to compose the network of flows of agroecosystems
(A1 and A2) and compare them with each other. The experiences maintains contrasting relationships
due to the different orientations and technical and management strategies employed
by the Social Nucleus Manager of Agroecosystems (NSGA). The reflected analysis is fundamental
so that its social actors can guide or reorient the management of its agroecosystems
from adaptive processes.
