The results
The project has demonstrated the value of regenerative cattle ranching as an alternative way of farming that can restore soil health and reverse the impacts of deforestation: protecting and revitalizing surrounding ecosystems and making farming more sustainable.
It's also built technical capacity locally through the development of silvopastoral systems, which intersperse cattle farms with wooded areas to provide a buffer against environmental harm.
These wooded areas help to protect local biodiversity as well as providing farmers with extra, diversified income from forest products.
Exchanging knowledge
Climate Group brought together governments and experts to showcase results of the project.
Having spent time working directly with farmers, governments and experts in states and regions that make up this area, this was an opportunity not just to share the results of the project, but to hear what people had learnt and discuss how this could be used in other parts of the world.
