The following activities were undertaken during execution of this project: a census identified the members of each community; a 24-hour registration of the Xavante diet was taken; a horticulture activity was carried out; a fruit incidence and preference index was developed; production and collection of seedlings was started for over 20 species of fruit and vegetables; construction of the plant nurseries was completed. The project achieved its goals and planned results. All the positive expectations have been met and fulfilled. The difficulties faced in most communities were a struggle by the members to understand the proposed activities, the lack of proper transportation among the villages, and the death of two infants due to diarrhea. The latter saddened the communities deeply and reinforced the need for this project. Meetings clarified the activities for the communities, and the results surpassed expectations, getting not only the women, but the whole village involved in the activities, which were carried out with autonomy and responsibility. The transportation problem was solved by discussions during the daily meetings (wara), to schedule the use of the one available vehicle. Lack of resources and paid work for the Xavante community members hinder appropriate food security for these people, and the government agencies which employ indigenous people often delay payments. Large-scale agriculture, which already surrounds the indigenous lands on all sides, eliminates the native fauna, making hunting an impossible activity, as well as fishing, due to indiscriminate use of agrotoxins, which pollute the waters. Farmers offer money to the Xavante in exchange for permission to farm their lands. The example of community effort set by this project brings direct benefits to the environment, as well as a crucial supply of traditional food for the Xavantes.
