There is nowadays a strong appeal to the traditional agricultural practices, due to their conservationist character - although it should take caution when it comes to “traditional” and “modern” terms as they relate to agriculture, because the modern, if taken with proper precautions can be sustainable; and the traditional, opting for modern inputs, becomes as impactful as the first. This is the reality found upon profiles rising from both the producer and agriculture in the municipality of São João do Cariri, where while the production system practiced in more traditional forms of agriculture, also makes use of modern inputs (chemical products), endangering not only the physical integrity of people, but also contaminating the environment. This production system reflects the plight of farmers, who lack knowledge, assistance and technology to achieve high productivity and therefore better living conditions. Giving these issues, this study aims to analyze some indicators of deteriorating practices in smallholder agriculture in the county and raise the economic profile of local producers, through their practices. The results point to a commitment of half the production capacity, due to the adopted techniques.Downloads

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
