The restoration of 150 hectares will stabilize degraded soils, sequester carbon, and protect critical water resources. With a planting density of 2,000 seedlings per hectare, the project is expected to contribute to significant carbon sequestration, enhancing climate resilience in the region. The selection of native forest species ensures biodiversity conservation and the creation of ecological corridors, particularly in riparian areas, which mitigate soil erosion and improve water quality. The dense planting strategy also reduces the need for glyphosate, as the shading provided by the agroforestry systems inhibits grass growth. This participatory reforestation effort supports the long-term ecological health of the Amazon biome.
This initiative seeks to improve the food and income sources of low-income families. Agroforestry systems use fruit and food species to diversify the food sources of these families. In addition, specific species are chosen to produce fruits, seeds, and other annual crops that can be sold commercially, potentially increasing family income. The National Program of School Feeding (Law nº 11.947/2009) also provides an opportunity for these families to benefit from the direct purchase of products from family agriculture. This initiative will affect 150 families, who will have access to new food and income sources, while also stimulating the economic and sustainable development of their communities.
