Brazil (EFE).- In one of the most heavily deforested areas of the Amazon, farmers in the community of Mamu\u00ed are embracing a new agricultural model designed to bring trees back to the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supported by government programs and the rising market value of native fruits such as a\u00e7a\u00ed, former deforesters are now experimenting with agroforestry in Brazil\u2019s Par\u00e1 state, which will host the next UN climate summit (COP30).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-from-cattle-ranching-to-agroforestry\"><strong>From cattle ranching to agroforestry<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLook at this land, it used to be cracked and dry in the summer with the cattle, and now the spring has returned,\u201d said 72-year-old farmer Sadias Pinheiro, pointing to the soil where he recently planted a\u00e7a\u00ed trees.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter

burn, and sow grass for livestock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deforestation reached record highs in 2004, with 27,700 square kilometers (17,200 square miles) cleared, an area nearly the size of Haiti. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Mamu\u00ed, less than one square kilometer of the 25 square kilometers (15.5 square miles) of settlement retained native vegetation, Pinheiro estimated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe had to cut down trees and put up fences so the government would believe we really wanted to live here,\u201d he admitted with regret, calling the destruction \u201ccrazy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sustainable-agriculture-takes-root\"><strong>Sustainable agriculture takes root<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Years later, Brazil\u2019s public agricultural research agency Embrapa approached Mamu\u00ed with a proposal: replace some cattle pastures with agroforestry systems, combining large Amazonian trees with fruit species such as cacao and a\u00e7a\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn our workshops, we introduced ecological awareness, which was almost taboo here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Talking about environmental law used to be seen as an offense,\u201d said Michelliny Bentes, the project coordinator, in an interview with EFE.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\"

resistance, Embrapa offered improved seeds, free fertilizer, and technical assistance to help farmers comply with environmental regulations, which require preserving vegetation along rivers and springs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those who fail to comply risk losing subsidized credit or being barred from selling their produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The support persuaded farmers like Mauricio Batista, 53, who had previously failed in attempts to grow cacao. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After three years, he now cultivates six hectares of a\u00e7a\u00ed, cacao, and bananas, and has replanted trees near springs to prevent erosion and improve water quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI embraced the cause,\u201d

cattle but earns more from crops: cacao sells for 30 reais per kilo (5.6 dollars) and a\u00e7a\u00ed for 16 reais (3 dollars), double the price of beef.
