Uso de fertilizantes alternativos provenientes de resíduos da agricultura e agroindústria familiar

Abstract

The food production in sustainable ecosystems has grown a lot due to the demand for products that are free of possible from chemical residues and the increasing environmental awareness of modern man in an increasingly globalized scenario, which culminates in the concept of sustainable development. With this, the use of synthetic fertilizers has become a major focus of discussion involving environmental impacts, which since 1960, have been used in farming an indiscriminate manner. Currently, it is known that this practice has numerous negative effects on the environment and health. Is done necessary to stimulate technological advances that solve the socio-environmental problems, including the family farming, which requires the construction of viable alternatives and that provide scientific bases for the process of transition to agriculture with a higher degree of sustainability. Therefore, the objective of this study is to provide important information on the use of alternative fertilizers from residues from agriculture and family agro-industry, aiming to favor the maintenance and improvement of soil fertility in agroecological systems, thus contributing to the improvement of quality of families and sustainable rural development. Given the above, it is concluded that alternative fertilizers are presented as an important tool for family farming, providing an alternative way for fertilization practices in agro-ecological production systems. That in the construction of scientific knowledge, it is necessary to aim at the points that guarantee its applicability. And that family farming has great potential for agricultural production without dependencies, contributing to sustainable rural development and improving people's quality of life
