Brazilian municipalities promote family farming initiatives

In Porto Velho, the Municipal Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock, and Supply (Semagric) is providing technical guidance to the Abraça Association to establish a family agro-industry. The project focuses on processing cassava to produce flour, aiming to add value to local crops and increase income for rural families through a structured processing facility.

In Itaboraí, the Municipal Secretariat of Agriculture participated in the Green Rio Tech event in Rio de Janeiro to showcase its family farming project. The initiative, supported by the Intermunicipal Consortium for the Development of the Eastern Fluminense (Conleste), focuses on innovation, sustainability, and bioeconomy to integrate rural production with local economic development and tourism.
