No. of bitstreams: 1 2016 - Andr?ia Cristina Matheus.pdf: 2627280 bytes, checksum: 280f3799edc543851f302aefebda3f44 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-05-04 / The present work was performed with families of the Agrarian Reform Settlement Promised Land (Terra Prometida), located in the cities of Nova Igua?u and Duque de Caxias, in Fluminense Lowland (Baixada Fluminense), in the State of Rio de Janeiro. It aimed to evaluate strategies of management of productive systems, using green manure as a practice that contributes to the dynamics of agroecosystems, with its multiple functions. For this purpose, Demonstrative Units were set in the Integrated System of Agroecological Production (SIPA - ?Fazendinha Agroecol?gica km 47?) and in the Promised Land Settlement. A set of participatory methodological tools, based on the principles of research-action, was used, which oriented the development of the proposed actions and made it possible, in an integrated form, the practical evaluation of the sustainability of the practices, using indicators related to soil quality and crops health. The presented experience is inserted in the context of the strategy of performance of Coopaterra - Cooperative of Agroecological Producers Fertile Land, an aspect that allowed the collective conduction of the process together with the settlers, in a multiplying and participatory perspective. This was done recognizing the socio-economic importance of the areas of agrarian reform settlement and their families, as transforming agents of their own reality. The results are, mainly, in the appropriation of the practices by the settlers and the process of experimentation and exchange of knowledge carried out. However, it is required the continuity of the practices, on the basis of the actual conditions of the settlement and increasing their use for a larger set of settled families / O presente trabalho foi conduzido junto ?s fam?lias do Assentamento de Reforma Agr?ria Terra Prometida, localizado nos munic?pios de Nova Igua?u e Duque de Caxias, na Baixada Fluminense, no Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Objetivou-se avaliar estrat?gias de manejo dos sistemas produtivos, utilizando a aduba??o verde como pr?tica que contribui com a din?mica dos agroecossistemas, atrav?s das suas m?ltiplas fun??es. Para tanto, foram implantadas Unidades Demonstrativas no Sistema Integrado de Produ??o Agroecol?gica (SIPA - ?Fazendinha Agroecol?gica Km 47?) e no Assentamento Terra Prometida. Utilizou-se um conjunto de ferramentas metodol?gicas participativas com base no princ?pio da pesquisa-a??o que orientou o desenvolvimento das a??es propostas e possibilitou, de forma integrada, a avalia??o da sustentabilidade das pr?ticas, utilizando indicadores relacionados ? qualidade de solo e sanidade dos cultivos. A experi?ncia apresentada est? inserida no contexto da estrat?gia de atua??o da Coopaterra ? Cooperativa de Produtores Agroecol?gicos Terra F?rtil, aspecto que permitiu a condu??o do processo de forma coletiva junto aos assentados envolvidos, numa perspectiva multiplicadora e participativa. O trabalho foi realizado reconhecendo a import?ncia socioecon?mica das ?reas de assentamento de reforma agr?ria e das fam?lias, como agentes transformadores da pr?pria realidade. Os resultados est?o, principalmente, na sensibiliza??o dos assentados quanto ?s pr?ticas propostas e no processo de experimenta??o e troca de conhecimento. Contudo, compreende-se a necessidade da continuidade das pr?ticas, com base nas condi??es concretas do assentamento e a amplia??o para um conjunto maior de fam?lias assentadas
