The present work is an approximation between ecology and decision making in the area of environmental management. This is a compilation of technical and scientific information on the redesign of conventional agroecosystems in more resilient and agroecological-based systems, according to the 10 elements of agroecology. The study area was the rural community of Riacho do Meio, located in Cocos, Bahia, Brazil, benefiting from public restoration policies, between the years 2015 to 2018. The present work is divided into 02 chapters: In Chapter 01 is presented the paper entitled "Redesign of Conventional Agroecosystems in Resilient Systems: a case study in the Riacho do Meio community", aiming to analyze the redesign of conventional agroecosystems in more resilient and agroecological systems, highlighting the 10 elements of agroecology proposed by FAO and the farmers' perception of ecosystem services. The article was constructed through secondary data collection, field research and literature review on the subject. Chapter 02 presents the guideline booklet "Agroecology in the Redesign of Conventional Agroecosystems" produced for use by family farmers. It is intended to demonstrate, through this work, how these conventional agroecosystems can be modified in order to become resilient, generate income for families, generate nutritious and safe food, increase biodiversity and ecological gains on a local scale.
