Projetos Sociais
The Social and Environmental Action Group (GAS) of Fazenda Pioneira began in 2015, with more than 20 participants. Among the projects are a traveling cinema for the city of Querência, the donation of toys to children and support for the Pastoral da Criança [social program for children´s development] in the municipality. The Farm planted a vegetable garden at Escola Estadual Coutinho União and renovated the playground at the municipal school in the same district. In 2023, the AgroEduca project is being implemented at Escola Estadual Coutinho União. The initiative seeks to present the labor market in agribusiness, in spheres such as sustainability and job opportunities, through practical workshops in schools and technical visits to farms and classes taught by coordinators to high school students.
Also in 2023, in partnership with Junior Achievement (JA), the Nosso Planeta, Nossa Casa [Our Plant, Our Home] Project takes place, which aims to raise awareness among young people on the importance of sustainable development and conscious consumption. Students learn about the importance of preserving the environment and their commitment to socio-environmental responsibility. In addition, several campaigns are carried out throughout the year, such as blood donations, etc.
Research
The Fazenda Pioneira Research area occupies more than 160 hectares. In these areas, studies are being conducted on the behavior and response of crops such as cotton, soy and corn, as well as cover crops, nutrition, pest, disease and weed control, as well as the continuous assessment of varieties and biotechnologies available on the market. The main objective of these tests is to serve as a basis for decision-making on the best options and techniques to be used on the farm or in the region, aiming to increase the productive capacity of SLC Agrícola’s farms.
