Bio-diversity

Implementation of agroforestry systems and strengthening of existing agroecological experiences in the Bico do Papagaio region (state of Tocantins). An alternative commercialization and fair trade intitiative, with the creation of spaces for generation and dissemination of knowledge on the subject of agroecological practices is planned with the recovery of Cerrdo biodiversity as the main objective. A new technological model, adapted to the region, is sought in an effort to reach environmental, social, economic and cultural sustainability. The activities planned include: meetings and workshops for preparation of the local smallholders; development of a business plan for their products, e.g. honey and flour; agroforestry training; information exchange among similar initiatives and successful experiences; dissemination of the activities, results and information.
