The Project

The introduction of biodynamic knowledge to the middle of the Amazon rainforest. This is the main motto of this project, which proposes practices, research and training through management actions and agroforestry pedagogical routine in São Félix do Xingu, in the state of Pará. The idea is to use sustainable methods of holistic production as tools to improve life, increase the quality of production for small farmers in family cooperatives and future agricultural technicians. The region is the target of several illegal and predatory activities, such as mining and deforestation, whereas organic agriculture and agroecology bring the potential for awareness and transformation to the local population.

Objectives

– Training in biodynamic agriculture and biodynamic management.

– Installation of drip fertigation systems.

– Implementation of a Demonstration Unit (Fertility Center).

– Collection of physicochemical data from biodynamic areas.

– Consolidation of a CSA group.

RESULTS

– Continued training course in biodynamic agriculture. Contribution of knowledge via collective management practices of the system and the installation of management workshops.

– Installation of five drip fertigation systems.

– Demonstration Unit installed in a rural family home, which will serve as a production base for preparations for the region.

– Data systematization for the evaluation of statistical differences and objective production data.

– Strengthening and maintaining a group of connected farmers and consumers (CSA), resulting in the opening of new markets for local consumption.
