Law No. 8.014/1984 providing for agricultural soil preservation within the State of Paraná.
This Law, consisting of 22 articles, provides for agricultural soil preservation within the State of Paraná. The agricultural land is a National Patrimony and, consequently, it is under the responsibility of the State, the rightful owners, the temporary occupants and the community to preserve it, exercising in it the right of ownership or temporary possession with the limitations established in this agricultural land code of use. The use of agricultural land will only be allowed through land use planning, according to its capacity through the use of appropriate technology.
Improved production systems as an alternative to shifting cultivation
Shifting cultivation, under its diverse forms of slash and burn system, is a traditional method of cultivating tropical upland soils, mostly for subsistence purposes.

However, increasing population pressures necessitate more intensive use of land. The consequence is extended cropping periods and shortened fallows.

This study has therefore emphasized both the physical and chemical deterioration of soils due to degradation.
