All the newsA journey to Ribeirinhos country, BETWEEN THE RIVER AMAZON AND THE AMAZONIAN FOREST
Postponed twice, IFGR’s mission to Brazil at last took place in April 2023.
For six days, Clémence Aubert, general secretary, and Sophie Gardette, director, accompanied by Julien Denormandie, former Minister of Agriculture and Food of the French government, went to Brasilia, then to Santarem, on the banks of the Amazon, and finally to Belem.
Their objective: understand the Brazilian context (focusing on rivers and agriculture), identify the actors working in the field, better analyse the conflicts of utilising the rivers, dialogue with those responsible for public policy, and forge partnerships.
The journey was intense, rich in emotions and meetings with organisations, institutions and associations that fight every day to preserve their lands and rivers.
