Abstract

The objective of this work is to analyze the resilience of the semi - arid family agroecosystems
through agricultural income, having as analytical parameter the production cistern, which is a
rainwater harvesting technology implemented from ASA actions, mainly. Pointing to alternatives
to climate change, where family agriculture is an important key as a viable agroecological
model. In view of this problem, the methodology proposed in the scope of the ASA / INSA research
was used, through the analysis of agroecosystems using flows to quantify the income
and worksheets to measure the data. The study was carried out in 15 hectares of the municipality
of Curaçá - BA. The increase of 39% in the income per hectare / year between 2010
and 2015 was observed, highlighting the variables auto consumption and inventory. Thus the
implementation of this type of technology allows resilience and autonomy to the families of the
semiarid in the resistance to climatic changes.
