Abstract

The objective of this study was to elaborate a strategic diagnosis about integrating the forest component (teak) into extensive cattle raising areas, in Alta Floresta, northern Mato Grosso state. For this, the SWOT analysis consisted of initially identifying the internal factors, the strengths and weaknesses internal to the organization (interviews) and the external factors, opportunities and threats external to the organization (bibliographic search) to elaborate the External and Internal Factor Evaluation Matrices. The data were obtained from applying semi-structured interviews to some of the key players in the agro-industrial chain, such as (3) producers, (3) farm managers, (2) professional technicians from the livestock field, and (3) collaborators of public institutions, and a bibliographic search/review as well. The answers given by each interviewee were scored according to their relevance. The scores assigned to internal and external factor evaluations were 2.83 and 3.24, higher than the average 2.5, indicating that the integration of forest with pasture areas is internally strong while the studied region has a favorable external environment. In general, the produced diagnosis indicates that the integration of livestock-forest is an attractive activity, promoting production diversity and collaborating with local development. However, there must be strategic planning between the different key players (government, public and private sectors) in order to foster the most appropriate activities for the region, guaranteeing the conditions for the consolidation of the forest-livestock integration system, given its great potential in relation to monoculture systems.

Highlights

The integration between forest species and the agricultural or/and livestock component may be an interesting alternative to traditional monoculture systems since it can diversify production, reduce risks, benefitFLORESTA, Curitiba, PR, v. 50, n. 1, p. 1001 - 1010, jan/mar 2020.Ansolin, R
Opportunities O1: The region edaphoclimatic conditions are favorable O2: Income diversification O3: High price paid for teakwood O4: Regional development O5: State program supporting the Crop-Livestock-Forest Integration (CLFI) systems O6: Attracting new companies O7: High international demand for teak O8: Creating a logging industrial hub O9: Credit policy (ABC Plan) O10: Reducing production costs in the long term O11: Carbon credit market
This result means that the livestock-forest integration system is internally strong in the study area and that the forestry component may be included in the extensive livestock areas, but careful monitoring is necessary so that the weaknesses do not outweigh strengths in the Alta Floresta region

Summary

Introduction

The integration between forest species and the agricultural or/and livestock component may be an interesting alternative to traditional monoculture systems since it can diversify production, reduce risks, benefitFLORESTA, Curitiba, PR, v. 50, n. 1, p. 1001 - 1010, jan/mar 2020.Ansolin, R. To this end, the Crop-Livestock-Forest Integration (CLFI) concept consists of a sustainable production system that integrates agricultural, livestock and forest activities in the same area, to promote high yields and dilute costs due to synergy between the components (BALBINO et al, 2011; VILELA et al, 2011; CORDEIRO et al, 2015). The municipality and the state are focused on implementing various private and political initiatives, given the environmental implications arising from the current land use in the region (VIEIRA FILHO and GASQUES, 2016)
