In early July, Cumbaru Parcerias, a business that is part of AMAZ's portfolio, made a technical visit to the Pasto Vivo project, led by Luxor Agro and Meraki Impact. Located in the municipality of Pontes e Lacerda, Mato Grosso, the Pasto Vivo project has been standing out as one of the references in the implementation of regenerative silvopastoral systems nationwide, and Cumbaru was there to get to know the experience of the project up close and strengthen relations with this partner strategic.
At São Benedito Farm, where the Pasto Vivo project is implemented, several production systems are tested, with variations in tree species, spacing between rows in the tree planting rows and spacing between rows. The objective is to identify the arrangements that present the best performance, considering the interaction between trees, pasture and cattle, so that they can later be replicated at scale.
Another interesting feature of the system being implemented by the project is the holistic management of livestock, following the concepts of Savory Institute. Pasture management and animal stocking are carried out in an unconventional way, but show good zootechnical results in line with good biodiversity and carbon indicators, according to the Institute.
“These were days of much learning and exchange of experiences. We were very happy to strengthen this partnership with the Pasto Vivo Project, because in addition to operating in the same state, Mato Grosso, we work with similar production systems, with similar objectives, such as, for example, the production of calves free of deforestation and the production of Brazil nuts. from baru. We certainly have a lot to learn from each other in the coming years.” analyzes Pedro Nogueira, Co-founder and CEO of Cumbaru.
