Brazil - State of Sao Paulo Third Land Management Project
Jiwei Lou [editor]
Building on the model developed for previous projects in this series and on Brazil's pilot experience in the State Program of Microcatchments (PEMBH), the Third Land Management Project will promote the adoption of integrated measures for natural resource management and conservation, using the microcatchment area as the unit for participatory planning, monitoring, and collective implementation. The project is composed of six components: 1)a technology and institutional development component, consisting of: a) rural extension encouraging a new form of agricultural extension that modifies the current product-focused extension, towards one focused on the microcatchment productivity systems in which families and rural communities actively participate; b) rural associations which have financed selective administrative and managerial equipment and consultant services; and c) agro-ecological mapping at the microcatchment level in soil classification and land use planning, and resource information; 2) an adaptive agricultural research component, which finances of specialized services, infrastructure, field equipment, and inputs for research trials, and incremental operating costs; 3) an incentive program for natural resources management and conservation component, which finances: environmental education, an incentives fund for soil management and conservation and pollution control, an incentive for recovery of degraded lands, reforestation, and enforcement of the soil use law and of project incentives; 4) an erosion control works in the rural roads component, an integral part part of the microcatchment interventions, consisting of minor reshaping of road profiles, with shoulder remodeling, various drainage and erosion control works, and road regraveling; 5) training and dissemination; and 6) project coordination and administration.
