RESUMO:

 

The current work sought to develop a Canvas Business Model using the concepts of technological innovation and entrepreneurship learned in the MPI. Such concepts were applied to agricultural production systems in different regions of Rio Grande do Norte state, using the Moringa oleifera cropping promoting the reforestation of degraded areas, with turned to be useful for production of food derived from moringa leaves, in addition to vegetable oil and byproducts for the treatment of water, which were obtained from the their processed seeds, in order to diversify the sources of income, elaborating products of innovative potential with as much derivatives of the plant as possible. The proposed models can be replicated in other regions, taking into account the three pillars of sustainability: Economic viability, Social Responsibility and Environmental Compliance. Organic agriculture is an activity that concerns these parameters and, to do so, it depends on the production of agricultural fertilizers that comes from both animal and vegetable wastes. This practice, when certified by authorized institutions, values the product in relation to those coming from conventional agriculture. For accomplishing the desired objectives, there were performed a couple of “extension actions”, carried out with UFRN researchers, agricultural consulting and a "Managing Internship" in the rural property of the organic farm called Hortaviva, located in the Rural Area of Nísia Floresta-RN and certified by by the Biodynamic Institute – IBD audit. During the internship, the farm expanded its cultivated area so that the culture of the moringa could be introduced, intercropping with several short cycle plants, using different cropping methods. Dehydrated leaves were marketed in the form of leaf powder, tea and capsules. The oily seed, once processed, gave rise to a vegetable oil used in the production of biodiesel and a byproduct so called "moringa oilcake", from which a water purifying agent (biocide), branded as Biolarv – Natural Larvicide. A brand mark was registered at the Instituto Nacional de Propriedade Industrial -INPI by the Núcleo de Inovação Tecnológica (NIT / UFRN). This natural biocide was developed to exterminate larvae of the mosquito Aedes aegypti, transmitter diseases such as Dengue, Zika and Chikungunya virus.
