Agrofloresta - agricultura recuperando o meio ambiente [2019]

Is it possible to reconcile high agricultural productivity and environmental recovery in the same space? For many, this question has a simple answer: agroforestry systems. The technique is not new, but in Brazil it has been extensively researched and developed, achieving higher productivity than conventional systems. Ernst Götsch, a Swiss researcher based in Brazil, has been developing the technique for over 30 years on a farm in the interior of Bahia, where he recovered 14 previously dry streams and increased rainfall in the region while planting top-quality cocoa. And in Brasília, where it practically doesn't rain for half the year, farmers save water and produce more with agroforestry. See our terms of use: http://www.camara.leg.br/internet/tvc...
