Abstract:
The process of obtaining new agricultural methodologies with the objective of
accelerating the food production to assist the population growth proceeds in the sense, among
others, of maximizing the productivity and the profit. That’s the importance of researches on
mechanisms that result in a sustainable balance among financial, social and environmental
aspects. Within this context, the optimization models can provide a better solution for the
processes that take place in a specific productive sector. This research has the objective of
comparing the conventional and organic agriculture, based on the confrontation of economic
benefits (liquid revenue). The comparisons were conducted under the injunction of several
hidro-climatic, economic and cultural scenarios (plantation practices), using CISDERGO as a
mathematical and computational tool.
The application of the model was in an agricultural area of the municipal district of
Boqueirão in Paraíba, located in the microrregion of the oriental Cariri with a territorial area
of 425 km². Tests were conducted using scenarios and two analyses situations (conventional
and organic handling) with the objective of studying the optimum operation and the
combined conditions of the system. Aspects regarding the behavior of the area in study and
estimates of the income and employment generation were analyzed, seeking to obtain values
that will give support in the decision making process concerning the most adequate
management for the agricultural production.
The results demonstrated a total technical viability for the application of the model
for the benefits maximization in analysis and for the subsidies supply for the optimum
management agricultural sectors.
