“The basic idea behind the project was to show that it's possible to reforest a degraded area by planting native fruit, setting up an agroforestry system with various species of fruit, so that in 30 or 40 years' time, this forest can play the role of an original forest.”

“When Sítio do Bello closed down we were very surprised. It had always been a reference for the whole country and for us at the H&H Fauser Institute; we had carried out many activities to promote native fruit here and we couldn't let this incredible project disappear. So I decided to become a farmer and rented Sítio do Bello for the next 10 years to continue the idea of commercially cultivating native fruits in the Agroforestry System and also to expand knowledge about them.” February/2023

AGROFORESTRY

Agroforests are systems that combine annual plant species with perennial plant species, arbours and native or exotic trees (fruit trees of any kind or trees for shade or wood), with the goal of combining agricultural production with environmental conservation.

 

Agroforestry and agroecology fall under the following UN objectives:

fome zero
trabalho decente
responsible consumption and production
action against global climate change
vida terrestre
