The region in question is a transition between Cerrado and Amazon biomes which is under heavy threats from widespread cattle raising and soy and rice monocultures. Food production in the area does not meet the demand, creating the need to bring in products form other regions of the country. There are no paved roads and most electric power comes from diesel oil generators.
Recovery of creole seeds is sought by this project, as well as implementation of Agroforestry and Agrosilvopastoral systems, environmental education for peasant and indigenous families in the Krenak/Maxacali village
