SUMMARY:

The work aims to support research in 10 municipalities that make up the Xingu Regional Sustainable Development Plan – PDRSX.  Within the scope of PDRSX, the actions aim to promote sustainable development and improve the quality of life in the Pará municipalities of Altamira, Anapu, Brasil Novo, Medicilândia, Pacajá, Placas, Porto de Moz, Senador José Porfírio, Uruará and Vitória do Xingu. The challenges of deforestation that have arisen over the years have generated many environmental liabilities in municipalities, especially with the expansion of livestock farming. The proposal seeks to diagnose production systems, with a special focus on cocoa cultivation, highlighting the need for technical support and the adoption of agricultural practices with SAFs, placing emphasis on biodiversity and sustainable production. The objective is to map and evaluate soil fertility for the suitability and expansion of cocoa farming in the Transamazônica and Xingu regions. The research methodology includes data collection through interviews with the application of socioeconomic questionnaires with an audience of 300 farmers divided between 10 municipalities and 300 soil analyzes divided into 30 analyzes per municipality. The project is designed in line with and aligned with current National and State Policies, with the aim of promoting sustainable cocoa production and improving local livelihoods.
