ABSTRACT
Sustainability on farms is a challenge to competitiveness in the
globalized market. In this scenario, due to the strong environmental, economic
and social appeal, crop-livestock-forest integration systems have been considered
as the future of agriculture. Regarding the economic approach, this system is
based on the diversification of income generating activities, with revenue
entry at different times, rationalization of resource use and reduction of risk
of financial losses. Thus, the purpose of this work was to carry out the
economic analysis of a crop-livestock-forest integration system, located at Boa
Vereda’s farm, in the municipality of Cachoeira Dourada in the state of Goiás in the central-west region of Brazil. The
system was composed of the following traditional crops of the region: soybean,
corn, pasture, beef cattle and eucalyptus. The technical
coefficients and the prices used for economic evaluation were obtained from the
experimental unit and from the local market when crops were harvested in
2016/2017. The economic indicators used to assess economic viability were the
net present value (NPV) and the equivalent
annual uniform value (EAUV). The results showed
a return greater than the opportunity cost of the land, showing the
attractiveness of the crop-livestock-forest integration system. Thus, this
system represents an economically viable alternative that, among other
benefits, allows the diversification of its sources of income, with a reduction
of risk.
