The economic agents in the state of Pará do not consider the value of natural assets to be used in productive activities because they act as price takers of ecosystem services whose adjustment dynamics are influenced by public policies and by the demands for food and raw materials. In this work, the opportunity cost of natural ecosystems was included in the cash flow methodology to estimate the bioeconomic viability of production systems and to reduce the negative environmental externalities generated by current land use systems. The goal of this work was to contribute to the development of value chains with social inclusion and sustainability of Amazonian ecosystems. The conclusion is that agroforestry systems presented higher bioeconomic viability indicators than the other systems analyzed. The agroforestry system can help generate income, employment and reduce deforestation and soil degradation in family farming.

摘要

The economic agents in the state of Pará do not consider the value of natural assets to be used in productive activities because they act as price takers of ecosystem services whose adjustment dynamics are influenced by public policies and by the demands for food and raw materials. In this work, the opportunity cost of natural ecosystems was included in the cash flow methodology to estimate the bioeconomic viability of production systems and to reduce the negative environmental externalities generated by current land use systems. The goal of this work was to contribute to the development of value chains with social inclusion and sustainability of Amazonian ecosystems. The conclusion is that agroforestry systems presented higher bioeconomic viability indicators than the other systems analyzed. The agroforestry system can help generate income, employment and reduce deforestation and soil degradation in family farming.
