BRAZIL

The Atlantic Rainforest in São Paulo, Brazil, faces severe biodiversity loss and climate risks, with small-scale farming communities in buffer zones particularly vulnerable to urbanization, land speculation, and extreme climate events. Our study focuses on communities near protected areas within the Atlantic Rainforest, collaborating with groups like the Landless Workers Movement (MST) and Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP) to explore agroecological practices and local market networks aimed at enhancing resilience against these multifaceted challenges.
