BRAZILIAN ENTITIES TO START EMERGENCY PLAN TO RECOVER AGRICULTURE IN RIO GRANDE DO SUL.

Entities are working together to restore agriculture in Rio Grande do Sul following climate disasters. The plan involves research, innovation, and technology, with a focus on the affected areas. Immediate measures include mapping suppliers, increasing seedling production, and promoting organic backyard farming. Long-term plans include public policies and restoring degraded soils. Key to the effort are partnerships with government agencies and research institutions. An extraordinary committee led by Embrapa has been formed to address the crisis. The floods affected over 300,000 properties and 1,559 agricultural establishments, as well as causing damage to storage infrastructure and highways. Studies will also assess losses due to landslides and damage to other productive structures.
