Con Highlight projects
in 2020
Prato Firmeza - Rodas de Distribuição
We supported the third edition of the School of Journalism
Association project, an initiative that seeks to help youth
from the suburbs to graduate using the appeal of gastro-
nomic journalism. We supported the third edition of the
Quebradas Gastronomy Guide, with the title Prato Firmeza
III, on gastronomic establishments in the suburbs of São
Paulo. Besides this, this project focused on developing dis-
tribution techniques of this publication in 2020. At the same
time, it promotes the project methodology in the suburbs of
Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo to replicate the value expe-
rience of gastronomy without social frontiers. Estimated
benefited audience: 869 people.
Rubber and Cocoa Tree Plantation in the São Paulo
State Highlands - Sustainable Entrepreneurship - in
São José do Rio Preto
In the Paulista Highlands, the greatest natural rubber
producing region in the country, the proposal of combin-
ing cocoa and rubber trees has two purposes: generate
opportunities to improve social-economic conditions
and offer an environmental gain to the entire region. This
project was presented by the São José do Rio Preto/SP
Business and Commercial Association. Estimated bene-
fited audience: 780 people.
Diagnosis of Rational Water Use in Tomato
Production for Industrial Processing in Goiás - city
of Goiânia
This initiative conceived by the Goiás Federal University
(UFG) intends to improve the irrigation technique used in
tomato production in the state. By means of an application,
the project demonstrates that the correct use of water
brings significant gains to farmers both regarding agro-
nomics as well as environmental issues, compared to the
current system. To stimulate this improvement, training will
be offered to the Goiânia producers on the application's
use, to assist them in this process. Estimated benefited
audience: 200 people.
Project Q - in Rio Paranaíba
To give visibility to the handmade minas cheese from
the Cerrado Mineiro region, a team of students from the
Federal University of Viçosa - Rio Parnaíba Campus iden-
tified the points that need to be worked on. The project
proposes consulting on obtaining regulatory certifications,
how to promote better microbiological quality to the food
and legal work for selling purposes. With these improve-
ments, producers have the perspective of expanding their
consumer market and leveraging family entrepreneurship.
This initiative placed second in the Alimentação em Foco
Award, promoted by the Enactus Brazil Program, and will
be one of the country's representatives in the Enactus
World Cup 2021.
Corporate volunteering
Organized in 71 committees, the Cargill employees through-
out Brazil dedicate their time, work and talent to the corporate
volunteer program called "Sowing the future". They participate
in actions that promote food education, stimulate accessible
production and mindful consumption of food by means of work-
shops and games. Participation includes remote activities such
as mentoring of university student groups of the Alimentação em
Foco Award and follow-up of projects supported by means of
the Cargill Foundation bidding process.
Emergency fund to fight food insecurity
In 2020, 1,341 active volunteers worked on fighting the effects
of the covid-19 pandemic, by means of the "Emergency Fund to
fight food insecurity". They dedicated themselves to purchasing
and delivering baskets of essential goods and family agriculture
products to institutions that service our communities and that
were impacted by the restrictions imposed by the pandemic.
With this initiative, more than 40,000 people were benefited with
investments of around R$ 1.5 million.
