Bambucilga: An Alternative for Pig Production and Organic Compliance

Abstract

The Fellows of the Paraná More Organic Program (P + O), center Paranaense Reference Center in Agroecology (CPRA), have the function of visiting rural properties to assist producers in the process of Organic Certification. Throughout the visits it was noticed that the pig farming was a source of contamination of soil, water and environment, not respecting the principles of organic legislation. The objective of the P + O / CPRA team was the construction of a Bambucilga in the form of a superimposed bed as a prototype in the CPRA, for later multiplication of the proposal in the rural properties. This was finalized in April 2018 and until July 2018 the group of certified organic producers in the form of Social Control Body of the city of Rio Branco do Sul (PR), had already reproduced three of these structures. Thus, the objective of the proposal was reached, adjusting the appropriateness of the properties to organic certification.
