Producers from the coffee-producing states of Minas Gerais and São Paulo are participating in the 25th Femagri fair, held in Guaxupé from March 18 to 20, focusing on enhancing their farming techniques to promote sustainability in coffee production. The event, organized by Cooxupé, showcases various strategies aimed at aligning coffee farming practices with environmental sustainability and legal regulations.

At the Fazendinha, a model farm opened for visitation, coffee-farming families can explore strategic solutions to boost sustainable practices. Programs like Renova Pasto encourage the use of pasture areas for additional income diversification, pointing towards a more holistic approach to farming. The model farm also emphasizes the importance of utilizing biological pest control and proper storage methods for agricultural inputs, underlining the dual goals of productivity and environmental responsibility.

This initiative reflects a broader trend in the agricultural sector where sustainability is becoming increasingly paramount, aligning with global demands for environmentally friendly practices. By improving sustainability in coffee production, these producers not only enhance their market competitiveness but also contribute significantly to addressing climate change challenges in the agricultural sector, ultimately ensuring the longevity of the coffee industry in Brazil.
