To that end, with new perspectives, the local reality is used as the starting point.<\/p>\n

Access to knowledge allows producers to make different choices. New ways of cultivating the land, taking care of springs, and managing animals align increased production with a better conservation of soil, water, and forest. And this is the knowledge that the Sowing Water Project provides and shares.<\/p>\n

Also, through the Project’s actions, educators, children, and young people understand the role that local trees have in supplying water in quantity and quality, both for those who live in the region of the System and for those who are dozens, sometimes even about 100 kilometers away. They learn about the production of seeds in the nursery, the time these seeds take to grow, and planting techniques. After that, they start to look at the path between home and school differently.<\/p>\n

To reach different audiences, the Environmental Education team of the Sowing Water Project relies on materials developed by the Communication team.<\/p>\n

    More than 200 rural producers and technicians have already attended the Sowing Water Project trainings. The courses are the main entry point for this public in the Project.<\/p>\n

    Many of these producers already concluded the technical assistance phase when they had the opportunity to develop the planning of their properties with a focus on environmental suitability. The benefits resulting from the transformation of the landscape improve the lives of rural producers and water security for the people in an area of 100 kilometers who receive water from the Cantareira daily.<\/p>\n

    The continuation of the Sowing Water Project aims to bring knowledge and better practices to more rural producers.<\/p>\n

    The training takes place on rural properties (Demonstratives Units) where you can check the results of the actions:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Increased productivity<\/li>\n
    • Diversification of income sources<\/li>\n
    • Better soil usage<\/li>\n
    • Conservation of springs and waterways<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The rural producers who participate in the training have the opportunity to talk to those investing in this direction.<\/p>\n
