SUMMARY:

Livestock activity has been practiced for centuries in the Médio Sertão Territory of Sergipe. Initially, it played an important role in supplying draft animals and meat to coastal engenhos (sugar mills). Currently, the territory supports a significant number of animals and stands out in milk production in the state. However, the effects of uncontrolled deforestation and inadequate management practices are already impacting productivity due to the advanced degradation of the region's production units. Nevertheless, although in an isolated manner, some initiatives have emerged that incorporate more sustainable management into their practices. This is the case of Baixinha’s Farm, in agroecological transition, and adopting the agroforestry system to gradually redesign its agroecosystem. Understanding the dynamics guiding this shift in conception and practice for the Matos Family can help the family evaluate their journey and plan the next steps. It can also inspire other producers to rethink their practices. This is the focus of the present project, which, based on a systemic approach, aims to understand the different subsystems, their relationships, and internal interactions within Baixinha’s Farm. Over a year, in collaboration with the Matos Family, information will be gathered on material and energy flows in the production system. Two complementary methodological instruments will be used: the Lume method and Agrarian Social Metabolism, which will provide data to develop indicators assessing Baixinha’s Farm agroecosystem sustainability.
