Abstract

This study discusses issues related to territorial conflicts in the presence of a reconfigured and diverse rural in the premise of sustainable rural development before an agroecological paradigm. It presents agroecological strategies that promote the permanence of family livestock farmers by strengthening their ties with the ecosystem, their production and their way of life. The research tools used were bibliographical and empirical research on agroecological methodologies and strategies that cover the concepts that guide the study: agroecology, family livestock farming and Pampa ecosystem. Therefore, a technical visit was carried out in a demonstration unit of the Project RS Biodiversidade, located in Santana do Livramento-RS, focusing on rotational grazing, interview with the unit’s owner-producer and with the Emater technician responsible for carrying out the activity. The results highlight the increase of productive efficiency and the promotion of environmental conservation in the Pampa, by using local resources and providing the efficiency of the agroecosystem for the preservation of family livestock farming.

Key words: Agroecology; Pampa; Family livestock farmer; Natural resources.
