ICLF in cooperative systems: a strategy to achieve net positive environmental and socioeconomic budgets.

Abstract

ICLF systems are suitable for cooperative designs that gather small and large farmers. We use an agricultural cooperative in Mato Grosso do Sul state as an example of ICLF INCLUDING SWINE to produce a model of nutrients recycling, stormwater recovery and renewable energy production (eletric power). Based on pilot farms studies, in this presentation we show that the upscaling of these technologies to the entire cooperative level can improve environmental and socioeconomic indicators
