About

Over three years, Solidaridad will work with key actors in the municipality of Campo Aceval to establish a more sustainable and profitable beef production model adapted to the Central Chaco region. The program focuses on adopting good agricultural practices, access to water, restoring degraded areas, and protecting and managing forested regions.

This grant will help build local capacity through stakeholder engagement and technical support while also delivering tangible benefits on the ground for farmers and indigenous peoples, which will enhance social, economic, and environmental resilience across the region.

Solidaridad will work with local farmers to develop 15 demonstration farms and train over 200 farmers in silvopastoral and sustainable management practices. The program will support sustainable livelihoods in two indigenous communities and aims to establish 10,000 ha under conservation, 1,500 ha under restoration, and 5,000 ha under sustainable management, with a potential to scale up to more than 300,000 hectares within the district of Campo Aceval.
