“…Among traditional systems, shifting cultivation systems are technically the most rustic ones. It is estimated that, in the Brazilian Amazon alone, between 600,000 and 1 million families use them for their subsistence (Tremblay et al, 2015). The systems of coivara (Brazil), milpa (Mexico) and jhum (India), among others, are variations of the same technique (Sánchez, 1982;Kleinman;Pimentel;Bryantc, 1995;Antoneli;Döerr, 2014) (Figure 1), in which the agricultural practices disrupt nutrient cycling, accelerate the mineralization of organic matter, increase greenhouse gas emissions, reduce biological diversity, and increase erosion processes.…”

“…Agroforestry systems, mixed crops integrated by native tree species, food crops and forage crops, also stand out. They allow the intensification of shifting cultivation systems without exceeding the ecosystem limits (Tremblay et al, 2015). There are numerous adaptations: agroforestry backyards (Moreno-Calles et al, 2016), shaded swiddens (Vallejo et al, 2014), commercial orchards in the midst of regenerating forests (Wood;Rhemtulla;Coomes, 2016), among others.…”

“…In the Tapajós region in Amazon, Tremblay et al (2015) studied agroforestry systems to verify their economic advantages over the traditional practice of coivara (cultivation in that first there is suppression of vegetation and burning for site cleaning to be used) still widely used by small rural farmers. The researchers did an analysis of the net present value and found that agroforestry systems can recover the total cost of implementation and operation in twenty years in time horizon.…”

“…En esa búsqueda de un equilibrio entre desarrollo y conservación, la agroforestería ha sido implementada como una propuesta de agricultura sustentable basada en conocimientos tradicionales e innovaciones tecnológicas, incluso con destacadas experiencias exitosas en comunidades indígenas y rurales (Porro et al 2012, Tremblay et al 2015. La agroforestería como un tipo de manejo de bosque, también es conocida como un modelo de agricultura climática inteligente, porque puede contribuir a incrementar la productividad agrícola basada en la biodiversidad, generando medios de vida sustentables en la misma medida que se controla la deforestación y degradación forestal, como las dos principales actividades para reducir las emisiones de carbono a la atmósfera (REDD).…”
