Resumo: In the past century, agriculture has grown and developed based on the expansion of new areas for cultivation, leading to deforestation of large areas of native forests and natural ecosystems and causing the loss of environmental services. Despite the great importance of the sector to the Brazilian economy and recognized change that it has undergone in recent years, agriculture still uses production practices that promote large impacts in natural resources. Therefore, it is necessary to change agriculture paradigm with the use of management practices that allow physical and chemical soil properties balance, such as carbon increase and nitrogen soil content. Several studies indicate that the use of integrated production systems, such as Integration Crop-Livestock-Forest (ICLF), improve Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) accumulation.
