Organic certification in agroforestry systems

This book aims to analyze the economic viability of an agroforestry system on a family property, located in the Carlos Lamarca Settlement in the city of Congonhinhas, Parana State, Brazil. The methodology consists of an investment analysis of organic agricultural production. The collection of empirical data on the property includes filling in financial data, a socio-economic survey and an interview with the farmer. Based on estimates of future crop production, the prices practiced by the farmer in institutional markets, future sales contracts, prices at the Parana Central Supply Station in Londrina-PR and estimates of the costs of maintaining the agroforestry system, the financial results obtained were positive for financial viability.
