Highly productive landscapes
This program intends to implement 1’000 ha of mechanized agroforestry systems in the Central and North region in Brazil. Such regions are at the forefront of deforestation and monoculture pressure. The proposed model includes a great diversity of productive and fruit species, as well as native trees. A total of 20 different plants are integrated into the system.
GOALS
Implement 1'000 ha of mechanized agroforestry systems
LOCAL
Cerrado & Amazonia, Brazil
TYPE
Agroforestry (A/R)
IMPACT
Dissemination in Inkóra Farm Educational Center
IMPACT
Carbon dioxide sequestering and storage
IMPACT
Increasing ecosystem services provision and quality food supply chain
The Program is being established and will be seeking Verra/CCBA certification.
Program developers have gathered more than 18 years of implementing agroforestry systems in Brazil and worldwide, allowing them to highly efficient models from both production and conservation angles. The reinforcement of such initiatives will allow the dissemination of regenerative agriculture in the country.
Environmental impacts
Spreading highly diversified replicable productive agriculture models
The first phase of 500 ha will allow the dissemination and replication of a successfull high large scale agricultural model.
The models include fruit species, nuts, commodities as coffee, cocoa and high diversity of native trees
Apply the principles of syntropic agroforestry to optimize systems, notably through mechanization
Cerrado and Amazônia ecosystems are amongst the most threatened because of agricultural expansion
Socioeconomic Impacts
Contributing to the transition to regenerative agriculture models
The first phase allows the dissemination of regenerative agriculture models in an Educational Center.
The first phase promotes new agriculture models in the core of the country's large-scale monoculture systems– the Midwest region, supporting the expansion of possibilities for landowners.
Contribution to the diversification of large-scale production, reducing vulnerability from market volatility.
Promotes the provision of ecosystem services, such as the improvement in soil quality, microclimate and the hydrological cycle, which directly impacts people’s well-being and economic resilience of productive systems.
