The government of Minas Gerais has teamed with Harsco Environmental to donate at least 10,000 tons of fertilizers each year to family farming in 270 municipalities across the state. This initiative is expected to benefit around 2,000 farmers annually. Professor Mateus, the vice governor of Minas Gerais, emphasized the importance of supporting family farming, which will help ensure the availability of adequate and healthy food at fair prices. The initiative seeks to enhance soil quality and agricultural yield through Emater-MG technical support and IMA soil analysis. The private company’s investment in Minas Gerais over the next two years is BRL 220 million.
