Implement low cost agro-forestry restoration practices with fruit species to create more productive and climate resilient farming systems is the strategy the Adapta Sertao, a coalition of cooperatives , community based organizations is using. The idea is to support creation of fruit pulp small industries that will use fruits from restored forests to improve livelihoods in drylands and subhumid regions. The project will support creation of green jobs, female-friendly markets, restore degraded land back to productivity, potentially increase groundwater recharge, reduce poverty and increase biodiversity. Local communities and women leadership will drive the process of restoration and the cooperative work.
That idea started in the year of 2014 and will be implemented in 2015. The year of the soil. Native trees that produce fruits are very common in drylands Brasil. They are not used due to the lack of conditions to do so. In 2014, we have built with the help of the government a fruit pulp manufacture that can do the job.
Please help the project to take off. Your help will benefit the most underserve region of Brasil with the high levels of poverty that affect especially women and children.
