Preservation of Cerrado Areas Through Implementation of Farming and Cattle Ranching Without the Use of Fire in the Dom Pedro Settlement Project
Expanding large scale agriculture (soy, cotton and sugarcane) presents immediate threats to the area of São Félix do Araguaia, in Mato Grosso. Sustainability of the settlement is compromised by this type of agricultural production which is widespread in the region. The population in the Dom Pedro settlement practices family farming.
Soil, farming and cattle raising management techniques will be developed and applied without the use of fire. Techniques will be designed in accordance with the local settlement reality, albeit based on similar experiences by other projects
