Brasilia - Family farmers and settlers will fund the restoration of forest areas on their properties, settlements and areas expropriated by the Union As was approved today (9), the Committee on the Environment, Consumer Protection and Surveillance and Control ( CMA) of the Senate, in a terminating character (no need to go through the full House), will benefit mainly producers with fewer resources, and indigenous as Maroons. The text is processed for more than two years in Congress and now depends on the approval of the Plateau.
Besides ensuring forest recovery, the money may also be used by producers who want to implement agroforestry systems, those that combine agricultural activities with the maintenance of forest areas in the same area. The proposal is that farmers are able to rectify the environmental situation of the property, as provided in the new Forest Code, taking advantage of the possibility of funding to invest in their own production and also increase the income of the property.
The rapporteur of the matter, Senator Rodrigo Rollemebrg (PSB-DF), explained that the project complements a possibility created by the new forestry legislation. "One of the articles of the new law provides that the government can create incentive programs for forest restoration. Define the project criteria and sources of funding to enable these actions, "he said.
According Rollemberg as negotiations involving representatives of government, the likelihood is that there is no resistance to sanction the new law. "The government participated in the negotiations. Last week, we were representatives of the Ministry of Environment before approving the report, "he added.
Approved by the matter today, reclamation activities may be funded with money from the national funds of Climate Change, from the Amazon, the Environment, bilateral or multilateral, and even the Union budget
