Abstrakt: Due to productivity gains and international demand, soybean has been advancing into territories characteristic of other agricultural activities, such as the Brazilian Pampa biome. In this sense, the present study aimed to analyze the expansion of soy in the Pampa biome and its impact on the livestock systems of the region. The research had a quantitative, descriptive approach, using the survey method. The data analysis techniques used were descriptive statistics and linear regression. The results showed an advance of soybean crops over the Pampa, having a growth of planted area, on average, of 6.57% per year in the period from 2000 to 2019. The estimated regression model made it possible to verify that for every increase of 100 hectares cultivated with soy in the Brazilian Pampa biome results in an average reduction of 76 head of cattle, demonstrating the impact of the advance of crop production on traditional forms of livestock farming.
