Management and Conservation of Agricultural and Natural Ecosystems
This field of research is characterized by basic and applied research on natural and agricultural ecosystems focused on the development of resilient production systems that promote the conservation of biodiversity. Such research focuses on the relationships between anthropic activities and biodiversity considering the interactions with the physical environment, genetic resources, and management systems used by different human cultures. Such a holistic approach allows a better understanding of the complexities involving the interaction between agriculture production and biodiversity and helps in the proposal of alternatives to conventional production systems.
