The Brazilian agricultural sector stands out as an activity, which besides being fundamental to the economy (trade surplus) is also extremely important to the economic, social and environmental situation. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Brazil came in 2010 at R $ 3.675 trillion, and this value agriculture accounts for 6.5% (R $ 180.80 billion) (IBGE, 2011), thus underscoring the sector's importance to the development of Brazil. Thus, the purpose of this review is to discuss the use of various forms of Integrated Crop-Livestock-Forest (ILPF) for Brazilian agriculture as a way to ensure the prominence and competitiveness of the sector. The Crop-Livestock Integration-Forest (ILPF) is a system that, in addition to adapting the existing agricultural activities practiced by Brazilian farmers, the templates related to environmental issues, especially in the neutralization of the gases emitted by livestock and agriculture to help accelerate the process of global warming may also increase the profitability of agriculture and settle in the field, reducing the rural exodus. However, there is need for increased research related to ILPF system, aiming at harmonization and maximum production.
