COOPERATION IS KEY TO ORGANIC AGRICULTURE PROJECT


COOPERATION IS KEY TO ORGANIC AGRICULTURE PROJECT

"Confronting Climate Change through Cooperative Enterprise" is this year's International Cooperative Day slogan, acknowledging cooperatives'
contribution to reducing some of the causes of climate change and building creative alternatives to address their negative impact. Cooperatives can help farmers deal with the increasing challenges of production and provide more stability to their activity, at the same time respecting environmental resources.

Ecoorgânica, Cooperativa dos Produtores Familiares Orgânicos, (Ecoorganic, Cooperative of Family Organic Producers), located in the semi-arid zone of Vitoria de Santo Antao, state of Pernambuco, Brazil, is an association of producers that assumes a positive attitude towards climate conditions, as well as the challenges arising from the opening of the agricultural and livestock sector. It does so through certified organic production, serving new and profitable market niches.
