These farmers protect the Amazon and their crops | UNDRR

These farmers of Barcarena, Brazil, are not only growing açaí and cacao but also safeguarding the Amazon rainforest. 🌱
Faced with challenges like extreme heat, droughts, and rising sea levels, the farmers are turning to the forest for solutions. By using the shade of 150-year-old trees, they’re keeping their soil moist, improving crop quality, and proving that sustainable agriculture is possible while preserving biodiversity. 🌿🌞
🎙️ Hear from farmers like Luis Gouveia da Silva and Aloisio Gouveia as they share their journey of climate resilience and innovation.
This is about more than farming-it's a movement to protect our planet, secure food supplies, and uplift local communities. 🌎

About UNDRR:
The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) has a big ambition: to help decision-makers across the globe better understand and act on risk. At UNDRR, we believe there is no such thing as a natural disaster. A natural hazard, such as a hurricane, earthquake, tsunami, or flood, only becomes a disaster when it impacts a community that is not adequately protected and whose population is vulnerable as a result of poverty, exclusion, or social disadvantage. We envision a world where disasters no longer threaten the well-being of people and the future of the planet. Sustainable development and the 2030 Agenda cannot be achieved without working towards the goal of building resilience.
