Agricultural development initiatives in Brazil and Portugal

Overview

Agricultural projects are expanding through community and municipal efforts in Brazil and Portugal. In Brazil, the Territórios Solidários project in Campo Grande, led by Sesc MS, has established a community garden in the Comunidade Negra São João Batista. Approximately 20 families cultivate lettuce, chicory, and herbs, with plans to expand into vegetables like eggplant to ensure long-term food security and autonomy.

In the Xingu-Transamazônica region, the Movimento de Mulheres de Uruará Campo e Cidade utilized R$ 1.4 million from the Sub-regional Development Plan of Xingu (PDRSX) to restructure fruit cultivation. This investment provided a fruit pulp house, an artesian well, and cold storage to reduce post-harvest losses and access institutional markets. Similarly, in Rio Branco, the Árvore Viva Family Farmers Cooperative (Cooperviva), which is 95% women, manages the entire production chain to foster economic autonomy for rural families.

Recent developments in Rondônia include technical support and infrastructure improvements. In Porto Velho, Semagric is providing guidance to the Abraça Association to establish a cassava agro-industry for flour production. Additionally, fourteen producers in the Gleba Aliança region completed backhoe operator training through a partnership with Faperon and Senar. In Ariquemes, parliamentary amendments provided R$ 1.52 million in vehicles and tractors to improve service delivery and soil preparation.

Other Brazilian efforts include municipal integration of family farming with bioeconomy in Itaboraí, showcased at the Green Rio Tech event. In Portugal, the NOVA Bela Flor project in Lisbon has reached a milestone with its first harvest at the Campolide Campus, using aeroponics to produce lettuce, spinach, and herbs.
