Swine raising in Santa Catarina is mostly developed in small farms where the excess of waste produced is a challenge for the farm sustainability. This paper presents the actions taken by the project Social Technologies for Water Management (TSGA) to increase the sustainability index of a swine farm located in the county of Braço do Norte, in the southern state. The actions refer to the application of social technologies (ST) for the treatment and recovery of waste and the regeneration of degraded areas in riparian forest. As a result, it was obtained improvement of environmental quality of the property providing 100% of waste utilization without soil contamination or effluent discharging into water bodies. Simultaneously, the ST employed generated valuable by-products contributing to the economic dimension of sustainability, including the biofertilizer which allowed the reduction in the consumption of chemical fertilizers, biogas as a renewable energy source and biomass of lemnas, that was used as a protein food in the increase of fish production generating a secondary source of income on the property. It was concluded that social technologies applied elevated the property sustainability index in three dimensions, with great potential for replication in the Basin.
