Abstract

This paper shows a successful case of an intervention project in the environmental area, by describing the environmental suitability of the pig farms in the area of Alto Uruguai Catarinense, which was carried out by a regional committee on pig farming of that area. This project originates from a proposal by the Public Ministry of the state of Santa Catarina, as a solution to the environmental problem of the area of Amauc (an association of the municipalities of the Alto Uruguai Catarinense). Some distinguished features characterize the project. Among them are: the involvement of approximately 3,000 pig farmers; the adoption of a participatory approach; the involvement of public, private and third sector entities; the performance of activities that last for more than eight consecutive years; and an approach linking environmental issues to the socioeconomic issues affecting the rural activity.

Index terms: environment, environmental impact, environmental licensing, pig manure, pork chain.
