Dairy activity is one of the main sectors in Brazilian agribusiness from the economic and social point of view. Current study intends to contribute towards an analysis of environmental parameters in the formation of sustainable profiles of dairy farms. Lowest environmental rates were due to inadequate management of solid and liquid wastes, soil in the permanent preservation area and evidence of erosion. The planning of financial resources and the construction of covered dung deposits are mitigating measures on environmental impacts for the correct treatment of waste prior to its application in the soil, treatment of water for consumption and gradual re-composition of permanent preservation areas and control of erosion. Correct final deposit and the treatment of wastes from dairies should be strategies concomitantly employed with storage of packages of all products used on the farm. Farm planning is highly important for the success and the growth of sustainability in dairy activities. Adequacies with regard to planning of dairy activities and their wastes should be given priority to increase environmental indexes and make the agricultural activity more sustainable.
