Beneficiamento de Pescado Produzidos em Consórcio com Animais Silvestres
Beneficiamento de Pescado Produzidos em Consórcio com Animais Silvestres
Capybara breeding and raising facilities implemented in the municipality of Jataí, state of Goiás, enabled the alliance of this activity to fish farming, thus adding value to products originating in the remaining Cerrado areas. This brings about a new economic alternative for the region, with a new model for diffusion of sustainable development technology. Fish culture activities will be enabled with this project, maximizing the potential for production in the regional rural properties. This will increase the professional level of the people involved, generating higher income for these families. Interchange among the pisciculturists will be encouraged, and high quality control will be implemented. Employment will be offered, and the products will be commercialized collectively.
