Résumé en anglais

PART 3. ENHANCING RESILIENCE, ADAPTATION AND SUSTAINABILITY - Building Resilience Through a Deeper Understanding of Culture and Nature /// Agroforestry is the result of a dialectical relationship between humans and the environment, capable of increasing agrobiodiversity. However, the lack of technical assistance is considered to be one of the major obstacles to its implementation. In the Brazilian Amazon region, Agroforestry Indigenous Agents, attached to Acre State Pro Indigenous Commission (CPI-Acre), have been disseminating these practices through participatory processes that combine traditional knowledge with new techniques in order to ensure food security, improve environmental conservation and guarantee a good quality of life. They promote behavioral change towards more sustainable land management practices through knowledge-sharing.
