Abstract

Agriculture is the central pillar of human social structure. On this activity lies the generation of food, energy, clothing and many other essential products to society. However, this activity can also act as a causal agent of important environmental changes, such as soil contamination with agricultural inputs (pesticides and fertilizers), and the Greenhouse Gases (GG) emissions. Given this scenario, it is desirable for the society that the agricultural practices minimize these effects. Due to minimal use of agricultural inputs the organic agriculture and the organic matter addition has been outstanding for the international community. One of the concerns for these practices is the improvement of organic matter management and the decrease of emissions of GG. A second concern for the world and Brazil has been a preoccupation with the climatic effects, such as water stress caused by the increasing drought cycles. In this context, the use of xerophilic microorganisms emerges as a promising option to minimize the losses in agricultural productivity due to drought. This proposal aims at optimizing methods for organic matter management, as well as for testing microbial consortia that minimize the effects of water stress. Hence, in an innovative way, this project aims to contemplate a better understanding of the microbial community in organic agricultural environments optimizing processes for energy efficiency and tolerance to water stress.
