...here is a range of fourteen tons per week. Every two days there are three tons. Here the women work with scraping the cassava peel and they all win. A cassava basket like this costs seven reais."

Rosineide Nonato - farmer
"All the production comes from my work. The cornmeal flour, the tapioca frinha, the tucupí, the starch. I've been growing black pepper for some time now.…

Fernando Moretti - Sustainable Connections Institute (Conexus)
"It is important to say, for example, about family farming, today at least two...three percent of the National Program for Strengthening Family Farming (Pronaf), in the northern region, reaches these chains of biodiversity, especially for this farmer family that works with sustainable production. So, it is very difficult for this farmer...yeah...to achieve this public policy, which is important and has its advantages, right? It's a program called CredAmbiental, which is the network of socio-environmental credit activators. It's a partnership we made with Banco da Amazônia (Basa), to take and unlock Pronaf, for family farmers.....

...how does it work? We form partnerships with these community businesses, they can be cooperatives or associations as I said!. These community businesses will indicate a technician, who is there in the territory who may be...yeah... who has a link with them, so he may be a cooperative member, or a service provider, or even a selector. We transform this recommended technician, we train him to be a credit activator. Once the producer receives this credit, the activator receives a bonus based on results for each contract that he manages to unlock and will then follow up on that contract with the family. As it is a technician who does not come from outside to do this, but rather a technician who is already in the territory itself, we believe that this model supports the development of these local capabilities."

Lucietta Matorano - researcher at Embrapa
"We worked together with a researcher from Ethiopia, and we did a project called, which in Brazil we call 'Projeto Irriga Pote'. We introduced the gutter into the farmer's house that stores rainwater in a water tank, this water goes through a PVC pipe, it goes to the pot, and near the pot there is a little hose that interconnects with the pipe where the water comes from and on the lid of the pot there is a float. The strategy is as follows: there was a lack of water in the soil, the. The plant emits a small, thin root in search of water. When it reaches the wall of the pot, and the pot is porous and made of clay, the root sucks the water it needs from the wall of the pot. with..that little green pepper near the pots, little beans, peanuts..yeah......sesame and have diversified because there is always water in the soil......
....The system is extremely sustainable in production because it is working within simple low-cost technologies......
....the idea would be to put one of the windows in Baião, which is in the quilombo."

"In the credit activation network we have so far managed to unlock more than R$5 million in Pronaf's, more than 500 contracts and it is interesting because they are farmers who are accessing it for the first time, they had never accessed it before, and of these 44% are women, a number considered very high. Last year we launched a financial instrument called CRA - Agribusiness Receivables Certificate and we are structuring another financial mechanism to be able to support these associations and cooperatives mainly for working capital."
Rosineide Nonato returns
"Tapioca comes from flour...we grate it and remove the tapioca as we make the flour. Within three days we grate it, remove the tapioca and produce tapioca flour, right. We make it with nuts and without nuts."

Raimundo Fernandes returns
"This flour here, within the city of Baião, doesn't have much use. There is more in Igarapé Mirim, the municipality of Igarapé Mirim, which comes here to collect it twice a week. We buy the cassava, the boy rips it up and throws it here. for R$ 700 reais. And the profit it leaves per ton for me, at the moment, is R$ 130 reais per ton, then it is processed and sold. solution, he solves the problem, he solves our problem."
