How Has the State of the Art in Agroforestry Systems Been Addressed in National Databases?

Abstract

The possibility of depletion of natural resources resulting from anthropic interventions for food production has been highlighted in the last decades. Thus, agroforestry systems can be an alternative to promote sustainable food security of the future, as it tends to slow or reverse soil degradation, and increase economic yields due to diversification of agricultural activity. In order to encourage this adoption, governmental interventions emerge, in addition to world debates such as COP 21 and Agenda 2030 for sustainable development. Considering the relevance of the theme, the objective is to identify trends and perspectives on agroforestry systems at the national level. A bibliometric survey was conducted in the national journals of the last 8 years in the databases: Google academic, Spell and Scielo. The results showed after the analysis of 79 articles the predominance of these in the environmental scope, in addition 64 papers have as focus of study agroforestry arrangements. These publications occurred in a range of 49 journals, because of the theme having interdisciplinary characteristics.
