Produção de Meios de Vida Sustentáveis em Áreas de Cerrado
An alternative commercialization channel will be implemented by this project for native Cerrado flora processed products originating in small farming activities based on principles of sustainability. Economic feasibility will be brought to the small farming activity in the region of Uberlândia, state of Minas Gerais, through the consolidation of agroecology, which will conserve biological diversity. Production, processing, commercialization and public policy will be covered in the training courses to be offered to the population. A sales point will be set up, as well as a processing unit. Technical assistance will be offered to the small farmers undertaking the proposed activities.
