Grant Description

ASSESOAR will work in eight municipalities in southeastern Paran to train 2,000 farmers and public officials in the development and application of (1) "agricultural forests" (agroflorestais), which combine agricultural production and forest management for economic and environmental benefit; (2) low-cost, low- maintenance silos; and (3) cisterns that catch and store rainwater.

Through workshops, exchanges and brochures, an additional 25,000 Brazilians will become familiar with the new techniques.
