The scientific and technological discussion on soil and water management and conservation in mountain agriculture areas (AMo) is important for several reasons, namely: (i) environmental vulnerability; (ii) water supply; (iii) biodiversity conservation; (vi) climate change; (vii) economy and food security; (viii) agricultural productivity; (ix) long-term sustainability; (x) knowledge transfer; (xi) public policies; and (xii) International collaboration. In Brazil, AMo areas can be found in all regions of the country: south-southeast – Serras da Mantiqueira (SP, MG and RJ), Mar (SP, RJ, PR and SC); Geral (RS and SC) and Espinhaço (MG); northeast – Ibiapaba mountains (CE and PI), Espinhaço (BA), Sincorá (BA), Gavião river (BA) and Timbó (BA) and Agreste Pernambucano (PI) and Chapada da Diamantina (BA); mid-west – Chapadas dos Veadeiros (GO), Guimarães (MT) and Parecis (MT); and north: Serras do Carajás (PA), Canga (PA), Cachimbo (PA), Divisor (AC), Cachoeira (AC); Arrack? (AM) and Tepenquém (RR). The XXI RBMCSA and the VII SMCS aim to be a forum for discussing the main problems and potential alternatives and strategies, bringing together people from research, extension and teaching, whether from governmental, non-governmental and associated private institutions and all regions of Brazil. This will be an opportunity for targeted discussion in a production environment not previously addressed, whether in Brazil or even in other countries. International dissemination outside Brazil will be carried out as international collaboration is one of the propositions of these events. Workshops/round tables with specific themes for each of the reasons identified as necessary will be organized, aiming to seek plausible solutions that can be transformed into attitudes on a local, regional and national scale. The identification of those involved in each of these workshops will also be worked on so that the objectives are met in an integrated manner.
