Institution responsible: Seeds of the Cerrado Network

The objective of the project is to expand the production chain of native Cerrado seeds in the Chapada dos Veadeiros region by increasing the number of collectors involved, the quantity and diversity of seeds collected, improving the structure of the seed house, expanding and improving the storage capacity and the quality of the seeds made available for the recovery of degraded areas of the biome.

The project aims to increase production and number of collectors by 50%, in addition to improving the quality of the seeds to be sold. The expected result is an improvement and greater availability of spaces for seed storage, a nursery for germination tests, seed processing and storage, and technical training every 6 months aimed at retraining existing collectors and training new collectors, encouraging the participation of women and young people.
