Recovery of the Biodiversity for Sustainable Agriculture in the Kanegae Agrarian Colony ? Riacho Fundo Creek watershed/DF
Recuperação da Biodiversidade e Agricultura Sustentável na Colônia Agrícola Kanagae - Bacia Hidrográfica do Córrego Riacho Fundo/DF
Recuperação da Biodiversidade e Agricultura Sustentável na Colônia Agrícola Kanagae - Bacia Hidrográfica do Córrego Riacho Fundo/DF
The main objective of this project is the recovery of the riparian woods on the edge of the Riacho Fundo stream, through the use of ecological planting and agroforestry systems. Environmental education for the Riacho Fundo Agricultural Smallholder Association Colony will build technical capacity, strengthen the social capital of the urban and rural populations and build awareness in politics for the adoption of environmental conservation policies in the Riacho Fundo basin. Training courses will be offered for management of conflicts in the social-environmental scope. Agroforestry systems in the smallholders' backyards will help raise the sprouts to be transferred to the riparian woods. Specific training courses for women will be offered, covering native medicinal and decorative species. A forum will be held for the definition of public policy for the Riacho Fundo Basin region, and scientific articles about the experience and its results will be published.
