AGRIFOR

AGRIFOR is an outreach project by IFSC Lages, funded by Finep, focused on strengthening family farming and agroecology as a concrete response to the challenges of climate change and food insecurity.
Farmers from Agrilages (Association of Family Farmers of Lages) are directly benefited by the project's actions, playing a leading role in building a more resilient and diverse rural landscape.

Through ongoing actions, AGRIFOR:

Offers courses and workshops on agroecology, composting, agroforestry systems, rural management, food sovereignty, and water conservation;

Distributes seeds, seedlings, and supplies for the creation of productive home gardens and agroecological cultivation areas;

Strengthens networks among farmers, educators, students, and technicians;

Develops environmental education activities in schools;

Organizes agroecological fairs.

Team: Dr. Fernando Zinger and Dr. Luciane Costa (coordinators), researchers, educators, and scholarship holders.
