Sweet Cerrado
In a region threatened by large-scale export agribusiness, the municipality of Sendor La Roque has little availability of employment, health care and education services, due to the model of agriculture which excludes small family farmers.
The objective of the project is consolidating and continuing previous Agroforestry and production diversification initiatives in the community of the Taboleirão I Settlement Project by means of production of native Cerrado fruit sweets. In order to meet this goal, several capacity-building activities will be performed in the community and a small Cerrado fruit food factory will be built. Continuity will be possible for undergoing actions regarding beekeeping and plant nursery, expanding the number of species and families with access to seedlings
