📋 Tender Overview
Project ID: P172497
Region: Latin america and caribbean
Total Project Cost: Us$ 24.58 million
Strategic Approach. The proposed US$24.57 million grant will support the Ministry of Environment (MMA) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply (MAPA), to jointly promote an Integrated Landscape Management (ILM) approach to scale-up the adoption of low-carbon emission agricultural and environmental conservation and restoration practices on areas with highly intensified agriculture and pasture lands associated with erosion that have negative impacts on environmental assets with national andglobal relevance, such as major freshwater-producing basins and important endemic species. Those anthropized/consolidated productive areas have historically applied, mainly for beef cattle production and in a lesser extent for agriculture, conventional practices with low rates of technological adoption, resulting in environmental degradation processes and productivity losses. To tackle those systemic challenges, the project will mobilize key stakeholders (farmers and their representative organizations, state and municipal governments, local financial and technical assistance agencies, NGOs, buyers and investors) and build on existing policies (i.e.: Forest Code) and programs (i.e.: ABC Program) at the landscape level that are currently being implemented in an uncoordinated and fragmented fashion to establish a multi-disciplinary coalition of actors (consortiums) to catalyze investments and collectively enable an integrated and transformative business environment.
