Abstract

The objective of this paper is to contribute to the implementation of less-impacting farming practices in environmentally sensitive areas. Vila Velha State Park is located in Campos Gerais, a region of high-technology agriculture. Typical farming systems in the park’s buffer zone were identified in visits, and characterized in consultations with experts, agronomists, retailers and stakeholders. Three major systems (A, B and C) were described, considering the most common practices in crop rotation, choice of products and machinery operations for soybean and corn production. Systems A and B are characterized by high investment and technology level, though System A has more capital for investment. System C is typified by the use of service packages offered by commissioned retailers. Alternatives to mitigate environmental impact could potentially arise in experiments conducted in association with Farmers A and B, and through economic studies with Farmer C
