Verticalização da Produção de Frutos do Cerrado e Hortaliças Agroecológicas em Assentamento do Bioma Cerrado
Verticalization of the activities in the Cunha Agrarian Reform Settlement is sought through the construction of an equipped agroindustry and training of the community members on Cerrado fruit transformation and agroecological horticulture. This will add value to the products, while at the same time ecological conscience will be built, the social aspect and basic commercialization will be developed. The following activities will take place during execution of the project to insure achievement of the goals: community awareness-building activities emphasizing the importance of the project; construction of an agroindustrial processing unit; qualification in good manufacturing practices, and Cerrado fruit processing for 30 people in 22 settlement families; producer training for production of raw materials; development of a seal for the products; research on the impacts of the project at three different periods ? before, during and after implementation.

Project Characteristics and Results
Capacity - Building Component
Capacity-building activities will be offered to the community and technicians, such as good manufacturing practices (two 20-hour classes), processing (three 20-hour classes), and producer instruction on raw material production for improvement in the processing unit (one 8-hour class).
Emphasis on Sustainable Livelihoods
Strengthening of the Cerrado fruit and agroecological product use activities will favor economic development and conservation of the biome in which the Agrarian Reform settlement is inserted. This will occur through the value added to the production and the agroecological conscience inherent to the activities. Social welfare and cultural growth will be promoted by the capacity-building activities and collaboration in the implementation of the action. Higher income and employment are direct results of the conservation activities, making the local smallholders more receptive to the environmental issues.
