Project VERCOCHAR

AGR1 - Promotion of diversification, diversification and sustainability of two production systems, namely:
1) Identify and promote production systems that contribute to environmental efficiency, or promote and develop methodologies for the use of plant, livestock and agro-industrial residues for use in agriculture.
2) Explore the potential for using regional resources to replace imports from the region, namely fertilizers (because the various compounds are organic fertilizers) and pesticides (because the poor in organic matter alone have more phytosanitary problems than the richest alone).

This project aims to increase the ability to adapt to climate change in two agricultural and forestry systems through the conservation and regeneration of both, whose maintenance is essential for environmental sustainability, reducing the vulnerability of populations to natural disasters associated with soil loss. This project will evaluate the potential of incorporating organic, local, plant, animal and industrial waste, not only transformed by biological processes (composting and vermicomposting) and physical processes (biochar), with a view to improving their physicochemical and biological properties and facilitating regeneration. two same. For this purpose, the waste available in each area will be defined and analyzed, characterized by the processed products and their effect on only two properties, namely fertility, water retention capacity and carbon sequestration. There will be many awareness campaigns and training on conservation and regeneration strategies on their own.
