Considering the context of the Nossa Senhora da Glória county, characterized as farming subsistence, the possibility of adapting the industrialization process with the social-economicalenvironmental questions will allow a more including social scope, promoting the improvement of the region life quality, as long as the milk industrialization process presents, in the technological question, considerable losses and environment impacts proportional, needing urgently of consolidated development alternatives in the principles of sustentation.
