Abstract

The present work presents the results obtained due to the Implementation of the Integrated and Sustainable Agroecological Production System in the Indigenous Community Lagoa do Tapará, in the city of Macaíba, RN. The implementation took place in 2022 and its main objective is to promote food security and the production of food free of contaminants such as pesticides, respecting the soil, life and indigenous culture. In order to carry it out, it was necessary to carry out some steps, such as meeting with leaders, defining the garden model that differs from conventional standards, marking the area, demarcating the integrated production modules, monitoring and developing activities in the project and application questionnaire with to obtain answers regarding the level of satisfaction with the project in the field. One thinks, above all, of rural development, however family farmers live in an illusory development that is said to be sustainable and that in practice is socially exclusive, ecologically incorrect and economically unfeasible. The reflections presented underscore the importance of collective work as well as action-reflection, as it is believed that, through daily changes, the quality of life of these farmers and the relationship they have with the environment in which they live has been favored, contributing to sustainable rural development in addition to providing an increase in their income.
