Abstract

A sustentabilidade da pastorícia extensiva, designadamente em territórios de montanha, encontra-se ameaçada devido à sua desvalorização e, consequentemente, ao acentuado decréscimo de pastores e efetivos pecuários. O abandono desta atividade contribui para a desvitalização do tecido socioeconómico local, perda de biodiversidade e um aumento do risco de incêndios de grandes dimensões. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar um diagnóstico à pastorícia extensiva em seis territórios de montanha em Portugal, identificando constrangimentos e potenciais estratégias de valorização, fazendo uso de metodologias participativas. Os resultados apontam para a necessidade de desenvolver políticas que visem uma maior valorização e reconhecimento social do pastor e estratégias que proporcionem um aumento da rentabilidade da pastorícia, nomeadamente através do pagamento de serviços de ecossistema e da gestão de biomassa combustível.
