5 CONCLUSIONS
The monitoring of Rio do Peixe watershed, carried out from 2007 to 2019, which included inspections, diagnostics, and restoration of agricultural properties, is transforming them into conservationists, preserving the soil and water, and taking care of the well-being of the local communities.
Implementation of the Integrated Crop-Livestock Systems, with a change in soil and pasture management, increased the occupation rate of areas with pastures, by 31%, compared to the original situation.
The Innovated CDA Methodology presents a positive yield of 1377% in comparison to the conventional CDA Methodology, saving capital and the human resources of Agricultural Defense.
In these twelve years of work at Rio do Peixe watershed, new technologies have been developed for the site, such as Bioengineering, No-Tillage, and Integrated Crop-Livestock Systems, a fact that has changed the habit of how to treat natural resources of large farmers in the region.
The agro-environmental monitoring and restoration methodology is feasible and can contribute to the management and monitoring of the watersheds, in addition to transforming conventional, degrading, agriculture, into conservation agriculture.
