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.
