Abstract
Agricultural land use is still the main exploratory activity of the natural resources of northeastern Brazil, thus constituting a region in which the historical economy is still present. Thus, the negative effects advance in the farm for agricultural production, which are intense and severe, both for the physical attributes, as the biotic and anthropic attributes of the exploited areas. Searching for land use strategies that can minimize these impacts was one of the main focuses of environmental management. Agricultural management has historically been identified as a technical management alternative that meets the requirements of conservative environmental management. Aiming at the evaluation of sustainable management efficiency, this study considers Agroforestry Systems (SAFs) in Caatinga regions, in the Brazilian Northeast. The study conducted in Caatinga piauiense and cearense. Using a multicriteria analysis, as the main methodological method, the study verified a higher degree of employability, greater stability regarding the productive capacity, mitigating the effects of the scaled seasonality; there was a greater capacity to maintain biodiversity, various strata, cultivated species and forest and shrub control species; in the studied systems, there was a reduction of erosive processes, greater accumulation of soil cover biomass; in addition, SAFs have greater resources for sequestering and storing water and soil carbon, which are identified as environmentally efficient systems.
