These are areas with great potential to
cause major problems for future economic activity in the region,
including the accelerating loss of arable land.
The researches have shown that global
warming is cumulative, complex and comprehensive and that ongoing
climate change is caused largely by human activities. Among the
various human activities agriculture has been responsible for much of
the greenhouse gases in the world. To minimize these risks public
policy and environmental education activities, driven by scientific
and technological knowledge to take responsibility for transforming
attitudes and behavior, can stimulate and intensify the proper use
and handling of already deforested areas degraded or abandoned these
regions.
Several established practice and
simultaneous enforcement actions can be employed to reduce
degradation:
Reduce degradation of natural resources
(water, soil, vegetation) through environmental education, enhancing
technical assistance and rural extension permanently, enabling thus
the diffusion of management practices and soil conservation, water,
vegetation, are already established for research and not put into
practice, especially in semi-arid areas of the Northeast.
There are new avenues for the treatment
of degraded areas:
The Northeast started a hydraulic
solution process 100 years ago (DNOCS). In the 1970s he worked the
paradigm of Living with Drought (adaptation). A new recovery paradigm
of degraded areas (recovery of degraded areas, especially the INCRA
settlements originated in unproductive farms) associated with the
exploitation of plants, animals and partners microorganisms of the
region's production factors (lots of sun, little water, high
temperatures ) by the deepening of the active ingredients that
biodiversity provides, is a transformative way. Ex: You can escape
the cattle with forage cactus, but before feeding cattle the palm can
be a source of natural coloring, raw material for moisturizing etc.
New roads can be formulated for
recovery of degraded areas:
There is need to expand research on
land reclamation and adopt mitigation and adaptation measures
identified by the research, even if it has a cost.
