Abstract

The Brazilian semi-arid areas are changed in recent years, especially the social and environmental ones. In this areas, the rural exodus migrations are based by many social and political problems. Therefore, analyzing agroecosystems can be an important key so that actions can be implemented to improve the social and environmental quality in these locations. Thus, the aims of this paper were to carry out an ecological, economic and social analysis from Sitio São José agroecosystem (municipality of Tucano, Bahia State, Brazil), through these methods: Agroecological, SWAT and ASPTA method. The results were treated by quali quantitative statistical methods. As a result, it can be said that there are many possibilities of work and action in this agroecosystem, with emphasis on sustainable management. However, according to the information related to this study, agroecosystem is being underutilized and if this scenario is not reversed, it will probably be even more vulnerable to unsustainability and therefore also to its finiteness and uselessness.
