Main projects

O projeto de Responsabilidade social Empresarial RENOVA FARROUPILHA atua de forma prática e efetiva, entregando hoje o que deixaremos para as próximas gerações. O projeto é estruturado em 4 pilares desenvolvendo 3 ações permanentes em cada um deles – Renovação e preservação de recursos hídricos; Renovação e preservação de fauna e flora nativas; Manejo responsável e consciente do solo; Comunicação participativa e desenvolvimento humano.

Through the use of species such as forage turnip, sunn hemp, buckwheat, sunflower, among others, we increase natural control agents, also guaranteeing soil coverage and protection, which increasingly guarantees improvements in microbiological health.

 

The carbon project started in 2022 in partnership with UFV, UFL and Bayer, determined in pilot units the survey of carbon emissions in our production and management processes and in our partners. The proposal is to identify practices that can be adapted to neutralize emissions and others in which it is possible to reduce this impact considerably. The tabulation of the first damages is being finalized to define new sustainable protocols.

The use of biological alternatives through the release of lacewings via drone in 100% of the crop to control the leaf miner and the use of other alternatives such as bacillus subtilis and bacillus methylotrophicus to control phytonematodes, beauveria bassiana to control the coffee borer, trichoderma asperellum for controlling soil pathogens, among others, they contribute to a more natural, balanced and healthy crop.

The school began its activities in 2003. It currently serves 47 children between the ages of 2 and 4 full-time with socialization, academic, nutritional and psycho-pedagogical assistance. In 21 years, more than 700 children were served.

Starting activities in 2020; assists 29 young people aged between 7 and 14 with tutoring, sports, entrepreneurship and music classes. The assistance is aimed at young people in the community of Patos de Minas.

With more than 15 years of existence, it offers scholarships for undergraduate, postgraduate, technical courses, conferences and languages. More than 100 employees benefited and had the opportunity for professional development.

Studies of ichthyofauna help control species and water health; In 2022, with the release of 6000 fry of the yellow and red-tailed lambari, three-spotted piau, traíra and matrinchã species, we guarantee the richness of species in the region.

The construction of 6 licensed dams guarantees the best use of rainwater, allows the enrichment of ichthyofauna and flora as well as the responsible and regenerative use of water resources. New projects in progress.

With more than 180 springs mapped and the process of enriching fauna and flora at 10 points, we created areas of permanent preservation in the surrounding area, thus controlling the health and balance of the entire area and the maintenance of water resources.

By mapping species at risk such as wild dogs, emu, maned wolves and anteaters, we carry out periodic monitoring as well as the creation of preservation areas and management of the evolution of each mapped species.

With the expansion of reserve areas and the enrichment with native species such as pequi, ipê and embaúba, we have planted more than 100,000 seedlings in the last 3 years. The projection is to plant more than 25,000 seedlings by the end of 2024.

In addition to the seedling nursery in Coromandel with a capacity of 8000 seedlings, we have a partnership with IEF with a capacity of almost 15,000, also carrying out mapping of native species and developing a seed bank.
