Agro-Ecology
In 1998, many families of producers camped at the side of the highway BR
101 as an organized movement fighting for land. As a result of this movement,
40 families formed the Cascata settlement
in the area of a farm expropriated by the National Institute of
Colonization
and Agrarian Reform (INCRA), starting an alternative process of
coexistence and innovative approach to agriculture of subsistence, a
better understand of the the concepts and contents of cooperative work
and sustainable management
of the natural resources played a major role in this process. These
conditions have been essential so that the
community could slowly take up the role of managers-participants of
their own
process of social development.
