This story is related to the landscape initiative “Balsas (region)”, and originally published on SourceUp.
The PCI Pact (Produce, Conserve and Include) shows that it is possible to generate development by balancing production, environmental conservation and social inclusion. In this series, documented in Sorriso (MT) and in the Balsas Region (MA), stories of rural producers reveal how cooperation between governments, companies and civil society transforms realities, expands opportunities and ensures that sustainability goes beyond the gates. For ten years, IDH has been investing in territorial initiatives, such as the PCI Compact, connecting innovation, certifications and investments to practices that protect the environment and strengthen communities, inspiring a new model of future for rural Brazil.
