Reforestation and Environmental Education in Brazil

Grow Ahead is partnering with The Association for Agricultural, Education and Environment Cooperation (ACAEMPE), an organization of farmers in Pernambuco, Brazil, to plant 80,000 native species and adapted fruit trees and promote food sovereignty in the Caatinga and Atlantic Forest biomes of Brazil.

Rural workers and their families–through family centers, youth groups, associations and cooperatives–will work with teams of educators and technicians to collectively implement the project and build educational programming.

The goal of the project is not only working to preserve and regenerate the forests, but also to build knowledge and the educational foundation needed for present and future generations to take care of the forest biomes.
