This project has developed approaches of analysis, categorization and disclosure of information regarding agricultural development in centers with expressive production of soy and sugarcane, and with focus on their relationship between land use and occupation dynamics, agricultural practices and other environmental and socio-economic variables. In the agro-environmental sense, the analysis and mapping were focused in processes of agricultural development, highlighting the importance of the second harvest or reoccupation of areas with more profitable cultures, as intensification markers. This approach focused on soil traits and its conservation, productivity, associated with the phytomass present in both productive and natural systems, forest fire occurrence, always with the intention to understand relevant factors in the process of agricultural development and its consequences. In a socio-economic point of view, the goal was to study determining factors and tendencies that modulate and direct agricultural knowledge in regions of interest. Regarding the advance, organization and dissemination of knowledge, studies were centered on analysis of integrated data and formulation of sceneries, terminological conceptualization and categorization focused on organization models and representation of knowledge in this field, with the hopes to facilitate its appropriation by potential users. The execution of this project made room for better understandings and objective analysis on how agricultural development processes can collaborate in efficient and balanced management of the agricultural production and the recuperation of natural resources. These results should facilitate the mediation of public policy argumentation which involves, for instance, themes on the Forest Code and social costs of carbon. This project's results, and in terms of agricultural policy (ABC Plan and Program - Low Carbon Agriculture), may be used to improve the destination of resources, by focusing on more intense systems.
