Abstract
The objective of this manuscript is to present comments about the social technology involving the production of renewable energy using the digesters implemented by the Paulo Freire project in some country estates in Massapê and Jordão. For this, visits were necessary for these two municipalities, where it is possible to realize the importance of these digesters for the local people. Furthermore, some aspects affect the production in the field, such as the interaction among types of social technology and the importance of available natural resources for obtaining results that impact positively on the local economy and sustainable rural development. The diffusion of rural and environmentally sustainable development actions goes through the guarantee of resources for the development and autonomy of the population.

Summary
The landscapes approached through the history of semiarid sertões have always revealed a significant influence of a hot climate that submits nature and human life to an aggravating shortage of natural resources. The real character of sertões started presenting its first change traces with the collaboration of public policies and third sector organizations, which made possible the implementation of technology to support life in the semiarid region. The focus of this technology is on ways of obtaining water for families, raising animals, growing crops, managing land and producing renewable energy for the most varied use. Public policies have recently allocated significant resources to the semiarid region, aiming to promote rural development more sustainably and improve the farmers and their families’ lives The implementation of digesters in that area proved to be significant and feasible
