RESUMOAlém da produção de alimentos e matérias-primas o espaço rural brasileiro tem se caracterizado, nas duas últimas décadas, pela incorporação de novas atividades, chamadas de atividades não agrícolas no rural (turismo rural, agroindústrias familiares, agroenergia). No Oeste paranaense, pertencente ao território da Bacia Hidrográfica do Paraná 3 (BP3), a pecuária (aves, suínos e bovinos) é uma das atividades desenvolvidas pela agricultura familiar que gera enormes quantidades de dejetos (biomassa residual). O objetivo desse artigo foi caracterizar o território da BP3 e destacar a sua vocação agroenergética como estratégia de geração de renda e emprego. Por meio de ações da Itaipu Binacional e demais parceiros na BP3 a biomassa residual da pecuária tem sido aproveitada por meio de biodigestores para a produção do biogás e do mesmo energia (elétrica e térmica), biofertilizantes e créditos de carbono. Trata-se de uma nova atividade que permite evitar a contaminação ambiental, gerar renda e promover o desenvolvimento rural sustentável.Palavras-chave: Bacia do Paraná 3. Agricultura familiar. Biogás. ABSTRACBesides the food and raw material production the Brazilian rural area has been set, in the last two decades, by the incorporation of new activities, called non-agricultural activities in the countryside (rural tourism, family agro-industries, agro energy). In western Parana State particularly in the Parana watershed 3 (BP3) the livestock (poutry, swine and cattle) is one of the activities developed by the family farming which creates big quantity of manure (residual biomass). The aim of this paper was to characterize the BP3 territory and highlight its agro energy as an income vocation strategy as well as a job generator. By Itaipu Binational and other partners at BP3, the residual biomass from the livestock has been used by biodigesters for the production of biogas and from the biogas to obtain energy (electrical and thermal), biofertilizer and carbon credits. It is about a new activity which permits to avoid the environmental contamination, to generate family income and to promote sustainable rural development.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
