Project Summary:
Save The Atlantic Forest In Brazil
SALVEASERRA are working to restore Atlantic Rainforest areas in Brazil by training farmers in environmental conservation and sustainable forest farming methods, enabling them to better use the land and enhance production.
Farms in the Rainforest were opened with non-sustainable production methods that led to severe soil, water and landscape degradation, causing rural poverty and migration to cities. This project promotes knowledge and training on environmental conservation and sustainable development forest farming for rural economic rehabilitation, trying to keep these environment-minded farmers living on their families land and practicing Agro-Ecological techniques in their farms and communities.
SALVEASERRA work with better land use and ecological, economical and sustainable forest farming methods, training farmers in agro-forestry technology and vegetable garden production, showing them ways to obtain more lasting and profitable production results.
