The goal of the project is to strengthen the organisational and individual capacities of 60,000 poor rural households, with priority to young people and women, in the State of Ceará, and increase their income through improved and increased production and enhanced access to markets and to public policies. Land and natural resource governance related activities include the participatory formulation and implementation of commercially viable business plans for agricultural and non-agricultural rural enterprises – including activities aimed at land regeneration and the adoption of good agro-ecological practices.
