Projeto Educação Sustentável
(Sustainable Education Project)
The Environmental Education Program (PEA)
aims to orient teachers and raise the awareness
of students in areas of our direct influence for
an effective and continuous effort to improve
the region's environmental quality and living
standards. The main purpose of the PEA is to
promote sustainability, food security and enhance
the pedagogical process through family farming.
By using the vegetable garden as a teaching
model in schools, the project contributes to the
quality of environmental education, with positive
effects on students' academic results, as well
as in the formation of more aware citizens. In
2021, the PEA was fully adopted in municipal/
state public schools (57 teaching units) in the
Parnaíba, Itaqui, Pecém, Azulão and Jaguatirica
Complex areas, with the following highlights:
implementation of 92 organic gardens in the
idle spaces of municipal/state public schools;
participation and involvement of 350 teachers
and lunch cooks; theoretical and practical training
of school teachers, with participation of Sesi;
more than 11 tons of vegetables, fruits and
medicine intended for school meals and families
insocial vulnerable situations; and replication in
families, to increase income.
HortCanaã Agricultural Project
The Vila Canaã Resettlement Project is in the
post-emancipation phase, with all commitments
made to the environmental agency and the Vila
Canaã community fulfilled and completed. We
continue to monitor the actions and verify the
progress of the project, which is consolidated
with the inclusion of new partners and public
policies. In this process of concluding the
emancipation, we highlight advances such as
the first production of organic chocolate, to
be launched in March 2021 and destined for
direct commercialization within the state of
Maranhão. It is the first chocolate produced
with 100% Maranhão organic cocoa. In addition,
27,000 hybrid cocoa seedlings were planted
by farmers and their families, accompanied by
the Universidade Estadual do Maranhão. The
HortCanaã Agricultural Hub was also approved in
another Embrapa Maranhão call for proposals for
the "Pedagogical Horta" project, which aims to
promote food, nutritional and medical security
for vulnerable communities.
Agroforestry Projects
In April 2021, we initiated the Agroforestry Project
in the municipalities of Itapiranga and Silves in
Amazonas, to support social development and
income generation for 450 families who live off
of agriculture and animal husbandry. The initial
stage included visits by Embrapa researchers
to the production areas, with the preparation
of a work plan and identification of areas for
Agricultural project for the Hortcanaa resettlement area, Itaqui, MA.

and the recommendation of the seedlings to
use. Based on native fruit species, the project
promotes improvements to transform the region
into a production center for the main crops of
interest identified in the cities – cassava, coffee
and honey. We helped mobilize the groups
in Itapiranga and Silves, providing access to
transmission, transportation, local support,
certificates, and incentives for local production.
Amuquec Project
The year 2021 was marked by the updating of
the Declarations of Aptitude (DAPs) for the
Pronaf program of the members along with
the regularization of the Association itself.
A new training cycle was started for coconut
breakers, involving the production of handmade
soap from babassu coconut oil. In the training
cycle, the members from Capinzal do Norte,
in Maranhão, were accompanied by a Sesi
team for six months. They were trained in
financial education; combating waste; menu
development; organization and storage of
products; and measures to start selling the
products.
Escola Debaixo das Árvores (Under the
Trees School)
This reading and literacy project, formalized
and registered with our support at the
Special Secretariat of Culture of the Federal
Government, is carried out in the areas of direct
and indirect influence of the Itaqui plant to help
eradicate functional illiteracy and localized late
literacy. Education professionals who measure
the degree of difficulty identify students,
focusing on the direct literacy process. The
group works with 50 children and teens who
present literacy difficulties, teaching classes
and running reading and writing workshops.
The classes take place in alternate shifts,
with community operations and customized
bus transportation support, favoring student
rotation and greater outreach and helping
reduce the dropout rate.
