Farinhada: Da roda de puxar à roda de conversar
The project, From Roda de Puxar to Roda de Conversar, will strengthen the production of ecologically grown cassava and its derivatives, in the Palmeira dos Ferreira community, in Pedro II-PI. It aims to improve the quality of life of families, preserve the environment and enhance the culture surrounding the flour and starch production chain. It will serve family farmers from 5 communities with training processes, strengthening the association and developing family farming adapted to climate change. The project will seek integration with other organizations present in the landscape of Alto Poti Piauí, in order to find collective solutions to the socio-environmental problems generated by agriculture.
