This chapter describes agricultural practices, products, processes, methodologies and services (trainings and consulting) that may contribute to target 6.b of Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6), aiming at supporting and strengthening water management and sanitation in the rural communities.

In the tropical region central of Minas Gerais State, integrated crop-livestock systems are characterized by annual rotation or succession of crops and pastures in a no-till system in which the pasture is used to produce either milk or meat. In this paper the system focus ...

Trees in the Crop-Livestock-Forest Integration (CLFI) systems represent an opportunity to increase income on the farm through the sale of wood. Sawn wood is the product with the highest value and highest rate of return for producers. The objective of this work was to evaluate&...

Grain sorghum production has expanded during the off-season when rainfall oscillates and becomes insufficient. Aiming to obtain better adapted cultivars, breeding programs have sought new combinations of hybrids with earliness, high grain yield, and ideal plant height for harvesting. This study&#...

Beef cattle is one of the main sources of GHG in the agricultural sector, however, it is possible to implement improvements in this segment to mitigate GHG emissions. Beef production in an integrated crop-livestock system can achieve a positive carbon balance, but feedlot systems&#...

The Low Carbon Brazilian Beef (LCBB) concept brand seeks to value livestock systems that do not include the forest component but hold the potential to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, by adopting conservationist production criteria and concepts. At present, there is no commercia...

The potential for using soil P reserves has been evaluated since 2014, in experiments with maize in monoculture and intercropped with brachiaria and in rotation with soybean. In order to evaluate the residual effect of these P reserves in the soil when compared to recent ...

The objective of this work was to evaluate the fatty acid (FA) profile of Longissimus thoracis (LT) muscle from cattle finished in feedlot, fed with grains and silage produced in an integrated crop-livestock system (ICL). Nellore (IBW = 344.4 ± 30 kg, n = 25) and Ang...

The soil fertility evolution was monitored in a Red Latosol, very clayey texture, under intensive management in a crop-livestock integration system, conducted for 15 years. The indicators of soil productivity potential and ?bioavailability? of macro and micronutrients were monitored in different&...
