The growing concern with socio-environmental issues is linked to the need to review exploitation practices, as emphasized by Environmental Sciences researchers. The response of civil society and government incentives are fundamental to improving sustainable practices. In the context of food production, shrimp farming in Sergipe, especially in municipalities along the São Francisco River, faces significant challenges. This thesis aims to evaluate the socio-environmental conflicts arising from shrimp farming in Brejo Grande/SE, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Methodologically, the research utilized semi-structured interviews with producers, direct observations, and participation in meetings and visits to production tanks. The analyses were based on the SWOT and MESMIS matrices, allowing for a detailed cross-referencing of the information obtained. The identified conflicts include mangrove degradation, water pollution, and the introduction of pathogens that affect the health of aquatic ecosystems. Socially, resource competition and economic inequality are prevalent, exacerbated by a lack of effective governance. The SWOT analysis highlighted the need to strengthen sanitary management practices and reduce dependence on middlemen, while MESMIS allowed for the evaluation of the sustainability of current practices. The final considerations emphasize the importance of implementing robust sanitary practices and adopting advanced environmental monitoring technologies. The rotation between rice farming and shrimp farming, taking advantage of the seasonality of activities, requires continuous analysis of water and soil quality. Training programs are essential for introducing new technologies, ensuring the sustainability of the activity. Future research should focus on the integration of environmental and sanitary monitoring technologies and the development of specific sustainability indicators for the region. The creation of a technical support system, through partnerships with universities and research institutions, can facilitate the transfer of knowledge to producers. The combination of the SWOT and MESMIS matrices offers a comprehensive view of the challenges and opportunities of shrimp farming in Brejo Grande, promoting sustainable and balanced development of the activity.
