Cultura e Tradição: Valorizando as práticas ancestrais da farinhada no assentamento Frasa
The project consists of building an equipped flour mill that allows local farmers and those from neighboring regions to benefit from cassava in the FRASA Settlement. Its objective is to produce quality flour and starch, ensuring healthy eating and increasing family income. It will directly benefit 32 families from the FRASA settlement, as well as increasing the planting of cassava in a sustainable way using techniques that guarantee soil conservation, through the use of organic matter and intercropping, thus avoiding deforestation. The project also foresees the construction of 08 (eight) 16,000 liter cisterns, ensuring the storage of rainwater and other practices aimed at better use and conservation of this resource. The budget provides training and charitable exchanges for women and young people, in order to promote greater participation in the association and in collective activities, also guaranteeing their inclusion and protagonism.
