About 17 tons of food, fuel and tools were sent to supply the Cantinas das Reservas Extractivistas (Resex) da Terra do Meio, in Pará, in order to ensure the production and income generation of 500 riverside families in the context of the Covid -19 pandemic. The action took place between April 21 and May 7.
The action hopes to ensure that the beiradeiros (river bank dwellers), as the riverside people who live on the river banks in Terra do Meio are well-known, stay in their communities. Altamira, a reference municipality for this population, already accounts for 210 cases of Covid-19 and the only hospital that handles cases of medium and high complexity is almost full.
Today there are 27 canteens, which are part of the Cantinas daTerra do Meio Network, covering a territory of more than eight million hectares. This social articulation includes the participation of 13 indigenous and riverside associations, and each canteen manages its own working capital that enables the production and commercialization in a transparent and autonomous way.
The Network also has eight mini plants for processing non-timber forest products, which, by means of technology and traditional knowledge, add more value to the products.
