In addition to assistance with cultivation, farmers receive guidance on sustainable management, fertilization and marketing of production, with the aim of expanding access to the regional market. "We believe that sustainable development happens when communities find economic opportunities compatible with the reality of the Amazon. More than supporting production, we seek to help farmers have access to the market and build a lasting source of income", says Elizabeth Teles, Social Responsibility Manager at Eneva. According to the organizers, the project also helps keep families in the countryside and encourages young people to participate in family farming through the bioeconomy.
