Fortalecimento do Agroextrativismo nos Municípios de Esperantina e Buriti, Tocantins
The strengthening of agroextractivism as an alternative to deforestation for the municipalities of Buriti and Esperantina is the goal of this project. Integrated management of the Cerrado agroecosystem by the smallholders, strengthening and organization of the groups of producers and improvement in the quality of the agroextractivist products will be carried out with the support of agroecological agents. Income for the families involved, food security and appreciation of local knowledge will be sought in alliance with the conservation of the Cerrado. Beekeeeping and the implantation of agroforestry systems will be encouraged. The quality and presentation of the honey and other farm products will be improved, and agroecological agents will be trained.
