Bio-diversity

this project has as its focus rural settlements in the entire Cerrado region, a global hotspot in which several agrarian reform settlements can be found, most of which are currently threatened by expanding agribusiness. An assessment of experiences in rural settlements and family farming will be carried out in order to construct an empirical framework of preservation and adequate soil use. Specific project objectives include the following: mapping experiences in settlements; build a coordination, to publish systematic information about these successful experiences and build conscience and awareness in farmers regarding a transition from the current production system to one which respects the Cerrado biome and its biodiversity
