Hortipiscicultua Ecológica: produção ecológica de peixes e hortaliças no Assentamento Serra Dourada
This project will be implemented in Cidade de Goiás, state of Goiás. An integrated system will be created, in which an ecological garden will be irrigated by the affluent of a fish tank. The fish will be fed with subproducts from the settlement in addition to native Cerrado fruits from the region. The products from the garden and the fish tank will be processed according to sanitary regulations and sold at the town fair. Integrated management of ecosystems, including water and biodiversity, as well as applied research on fish farming with the use of alterantive sources of feed will result from this porject. the quality of life for the APASD families will thus be improved, adding value to their production.

Project Characteristics and Results
Emphasis on Sustainable Livelihoods
Given the need for natural Cerrado resources for the success of this project, conservation of these resources is paramount for project success. Reforestation is already under way in the settlement. Water consumption for the fish culture will be limited to replacement of evaporated and infiltrated water, as well as garden irrigation. The Cerrado will be kept standing for colleciton of fruit for feeding the fish. These fruit will come from previous reforestation of riparian woods undertaken by APASD.
Capacity - Building Component
The members will be trained for management of the production and processing.
