RESUMO:

To evaluate the potentialities and limitations for the adoption of agroecological practices, a study was carried out with 10 (ten) farmers in the São José da Boa Morte settlement, in the municipality of Cachoeiras de Macacu-RJ. In the visits to the production units, interviews were conducted with the farmers with questionnaire application, raising aspects related to the social, agroecological / environmental and economic dimensions. Farmers are over 40 years of age and in six (6) production units, at least one child is engaged in agricultural activities, mainly as a farmer. Participated or participated in organizational forms and revealed that an active association could facilitate the claims allusive to the infrastructure needs of the settlement and the production marketing process. They choose their crops mainly due to the market potential and the planting tradition. They are interested in the planting of tree species, prioritizing the fruit trees, choosing them due to the provision of food for their families and for wild animals, to be able to contribute to increase family income, among other reasons. The preferred places for planting are near their homes and along the fences or limitations of the production units, aiming personal and family welfare, delimitation and / or use of area, as well as ecological aspects. Of the 10 (ten) farmers interviewed, 06 (six) have the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR) and (01) one knows what is the Permanent Preservation Area (APP) and the Legal Reserve Area (RL). Also, 08 (eight) farmers have problems with excess water in the summer, which restricts planting of grains and grains for approximately 06 (six) months. The interviewees used or used at least one agroecological practice as application of phytosanitary syrup for pest control, green manuring, Diodia saponariifolia planting for control of spontaneous plants, mowing and mulching, crop rotation and application of liquid biofertilizer. Only 02 (two) interviewees sell part of the production to the National School Feeding Program (PNAE), although 08 (eight) producers have the PRONAF Aptitude Statement (DAP). The greatest difficulty for participation in the program is the lack of information by (6) also carry out or have sold directly to consumers and (05) have an interest in the expansion of this form of marketing, with the main difficulties being the reduced quantity of agricultural products absorbed by the market The study identifies some limitations to the adoption of agroecological practices, however, it points to several potentialities for its adoption. It leads to the suggestion of seeking information by community representatives from municipal and state entities on the PNAE and PAA, CAR and public policies for the agricultural sector, which may strengthen the marketing process and better use of the areas of production units. Farmers will be able to resume the planting of some crops, which could be part of their crop design, contributing to the increase of biodiversity and, therefore, to the gradual recovery of more stable systems towards agroecological production.
