其他摘要：In order to stimulate discussions about the importance of the products of family farming and agro-extractive systems in the Cerrado, Sustainability in Debate – SeD – is hosting in this third and last issue for 2014 a dossier entitled “Innovations for the valorization of the products of family farming and agro-extractive systems in the context of the Cerrado” [“Inovações para a valorização de produtos da agricultura familiar e do agroextrativismo no contexto do Cerrado”]. The texts selected by the invited editors Janaína Deane de Abreu Sá Diniz, Mario Lúcio de Ávila and Mônica Celeida R. Nogueira show that, among the actions that can work in favor of the conservation of native stands of Cerrado, the most prominent is the use of non-timber forest products (NTFP) taken from the native biodiversity. This option may help lower the pressure for the clear cutting of remnant natural stands and at the same time generate income for resident communities. However, for this to happen there is the need for a deeper understanding of the trajectory and the dynamics of the biome’s native species as they enter the several productive chains – local, national and international.
