Analysis of socioeconomic and environmental constraints to implement forestry in the Northern and Northwestern areas of Rio de Janeiro State
Keywords:
Forestry. Northern and Northwestern areas of Rio de Janeiro State. Cultivation.Abstract
The Northern and Northwestern sections of Rio de Janeiro State have historically invested in coffee growing – an important crop in the agricultural and export history of Brazil, along with sugar cane plantations to meet the demands of the sugar industry which has, over the past decades, lost its dynamics. In this scenario, pastures have increased, making farming the major agricultural activity in these regions. However, this has been conducted with low technology and productivity, leading to environmental degradation. This paper proposes forestry as a sustainable development alternative for the Northern and Northwestern areas of the state. It was possible to verify that these regions have adequate socio-economic and environmental conditions for the installation of various forest species. If well managed, this activity can generate attractive economic initiatives, as well as environmental preservation and conservation.Downloads
