Plano de sustentabilidade para uma suinocultura com modalidade de terminação

Abstract

This study aims to develop a sustainability plan for a swine finishing farm in western Paraná, considering the regional particularities and the environmental challenges of the activity. The research, with an exploratory documentary approach using qualitative and quantitative methods, involved a detailed environmental diagnosis, considering locational aspects, analyzing the project, hydrology, hydrogeology, geomorphology and geology of the municipality. The main environmental impacts were identified and analyzed and control measures were proposed based on recognized methodologies, such as 5W2H, through the concept of sustainability and sustainable development. The results obtained demonstrate the need for immediate actions to control environmental impacts and even reverse some impacts, ensuring the sustainability of pig farming. The main impacts come from the generation and treatment of effluents, consumption of water resources, etc., with risks of soil and groundwater pollution, local water scarcity, emission of harmful gases, etc. Pig farming in western Paraná plays a crucial role in the local economy, being responsible for a significant portion of the state's pork production. However, the intensification of production requires special attention to environmental and social aspects, in order to guarantee the long-term sustainability of the activity.
