Agriculture initiatives expand across Brazil

Various regional initiatives are strengthening Brazil's agricultural sector through food distribution, technical training, and administrative support.

In Parintins, the municipal government has delivered over 37 tons of food produced by family farmers to social assistance entities via the Food Acquisition Program (PAA). This initiative aims to combat food insecurity while providing income for 45 rural producers.

In Minas Gerais, Epamig and Emater-MG are collaborating on a project to integrate research and extension services through regional workshops. This effort seeks to bring technological innovations directly to farmers to increase productivity and sustainability. Additionally, Epamig is hosting an organic coffee cultivation course in Araponga focused on soil health and ecosystem services.

In Pará, Emater-Pará has provided 40 National Family Farming Registrations (CAF) to the Xikrin indigenous families in Anapu. This registration facilitates access to federal public policies and credit programs such as Pronaf and PAA.

Meanwhile, the Government of Pernambuco has opened registrations for its 2026/2027 Seed Acquisition and Distribution Program (PADS) to support family farming and livestock production.
