Agrobiodiversity Agroecological Production and Susteinable Management Demosntrative Unit
Agrobiodiversity Agroecological Production and Susteinable Management Demosntrative Unit
This project has as its main objective implementation of a model agroecological and sustainable agrobiodiversity management production unit in the Gabriela Monteiro settlement in the satellite city of Brazlândia (Federal District). 21 settler farmer families will directly benefit from the project, and 4 thousand families of settler or encamped (awaiting consolidation of settlement projects) families will be influenced. Among its specific objectives, the following stand out: implementation of practical agrobiodiversity management practices, e.g. agroforestry systems and restoration of degraded areas by means of densification with native species; develop and test alternative production technologies aimed at agroecological production and sustainable management in agrarian reform settlements; promote the return to peasant culture; establishment of communication with government agencies for preparation of socioenvironmental development in agrarian reform settlements. The Gabriela Monteiro settlement has a farmer training center which will be technically strengthened by this project, which thus bears large potential fro replication and sustainability
