Catxêkwyj: Uso Sustentável do Cerrado na Terra Indígena Krahô
Food security for the Krahô Indigenous people will be improved through beekeeping and solar dehydration of native fruits. Generation of income through the commercialization of these products is also sought. The Krahô couples will be trained for these activities, plant nurseries will be installed, environmental education materials will be produced, and the results will be shared with other communities.
