The\u00a0Flor do Sagrado Tepui de Roraima Light-Community<\/a>, affiliated with the\u00a0Fraternity \u2013 International Humanitarian Federation (FIHF)<\/a>, taking advantage of the rainy season, in June of this year began a project for implementing an Agroforestry System in a half hectare area located in the semi-rural region of Boa Vista, with the main objective of expressing one of the attributes of the Light-Community, which is Love for the Kingdoms, mainly the Plant Kingdom.<\/p> \n \n

The Agroforestry System or AFS, is a form of production inspired by the dynamics of natural ecosystems, where different species of trees are planted together with agricultural crops. It is an ancient system of land use that has been practiced for thousands of years by indigenous peoples and farmers.<\/p> \n \n

According to Friar Faustino, who is the focal point for the implementation of the project, \u201cin this system, rows and between-rows of plants are alternated, seeking in this interaction to create a regeneration of the soil and the generating of an environment for the plantings to be balanced and be self-regulating, like in a forest.\u201d<\/p> \n \n

Support Network<\/b><\/h3> \n \n

A true joining of efforts is making the implementation of the AFS possible: the seeds were sent by the Figueira Light-Community, of Carmo da Cachoeira\/MG; the purchase of the supplies came about through the support of the local government; the natural fertilizers and the ash were donated by companies; the seedlings were made available by Embrapa. \u201cIn this way, a network of institutional relationships comes together,\u201d assesses Friar Thomas, monk of the Grace Mercy Order and manager of the\u00a0Roraima Light-Community<\/a>.<\/p> \n\r\n

\u201cWith few resources we\u2019re managing to materialize the planned agroforestry design in its entirety. At first, it\u2019s proposed that the\u00a0Light-Community\u00a0<\/a>work gradually toward it\u2019s self-sufficiency. At the same time, integrate the agroforest into the Service Network with the future donation of the production surplus to vulnerable communities, besides the proposal to make this space a place for the transfer of knowledge, so that people and groups outside of the Light-Community can get to know both the practice and methodology of agroforestry as a principle of love and care of nature,\u201d highlights the monk.<\/p> \n \n

An example of the transfer of knowledge is the exchange promoted by the\u00a0Indigenous Cultural and Training Centre (CCFI)<\/a>, coordinated by the Humanitarian\u00a0Fraternity (FIHF)<\/a>, which made it possible for\u00a0Venezuelanindigenous immigrants of the Pemon-Taurepang<\/a>\u00a0to spend three months in the\u00a0Figueira Light-Community<\/a>\u00a0to learn about agroforestry and take those practices into their communities, and thus contribute to them achieving socioeconomic development.<\/p> \n \n

\u201cThese same indigenous people have already offered to participate with larger groups in collective tasks in the agroforest of the\u00a0Light-Community<\/a>\u201d, Friar Thomas tells us.<\/p> \n \n

Collective Tasks (Mutir\u00f5es) \u2013 it\u2019s strength is in the joining of efforts<\/b><\/h3> \n \n

On weekends, the collective tasks gather together humanitarian aid volunteers, missionaries, monks and members of the Light-Network in agroforestry support tasks.<\/p> \n \n

\u201cIn this stage where the project is, the proposal is to make a low-cost implementation, mainly with the aim of regenerating the soil and planting trees in the rows. Also being done is the building of an initial irrigation system, for when the dry season begins in October\u201d, explains Friar Faustino.<\/p> \n\r\n

For future stages, the idea is to consolidate the agroforestry methodology, begin with a sustainable production for the Light-Community, integrate this planting work with the Service Network, and obtain implements that would help in management, such as a tractor, for example.<\/p> \n \n

Beatriz Os\u00f3rio, humanitarian aid volunteer of the Roraima Mission and member of the Light-Network, expresses her gratitude and joy in adding her efforts to the group in the implementation of the agroforest: \u201cIt has been a very rich experience in several senses, mainly in being there from the beginning, seeing there was nothing there on a degraded soil, and seeing everything transforming into a richness and diversity of species that are growing and supporting each other. The collective work of mutir\u00f5es, the joining of efforts has also taught me a lot,\u201d Beatriz points out.<\/p> \n \n
