BECOME PART OF PIPC

PIPC is our initiative here at Cerrado das Águas to work side-by-side with you .

Investment Program for Conscious Producers

LET'S TRANSFORM THE CERRADO MINEIRO LANDSCAPE TOGETHER?

By enrolling in the Conscious Producer Investment Program (PIPC), you become part of a movement that is building, in practice, a Regenerative Landscape in the Cerrado Mineiro where production and conservation go hand in hand.

The PIPC offers technical support and specialized services to producers located within the same hydrographic basin, promoting the environmental development of rural properties through three integrated fronts: ecological restoration, climate-smart agricultural practices, and efficient water resource management.

 

By joining the PIPC, you establish a long-term partnership to strengthen the resilience of properties, protect water, soil, and biodiversity, and prepare our region for the challenges of climate change.

FARMER, DO YOU WANT TO PROTECT YOUR CROPS FROM THE WEATHER AND STILL INCREASE THE VALUE OF YOUR LAND?

PIPC is our initiative to work side-by-side with you to build productive and sustainable landscapes.

MEET SOME OF OUR PIPC PRODUCERS

CERRADO: THE CRADLE OF WATERS

Our area of operation is the Cerrado biome. Known as the Cradle of Waters, this biome is responsible for supplying three large underground aquifers: Bambuí, Urucuia, and Guarani, which feed large continental rivers and reservoirs in the states of São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Tocantins, Piauí, and Bahia, as well as the Federal District. The Cerrado biome is a global hotspot, meaning it is a highly threatened region that harbors great biodiversity and is therefore a priority area for conservation.

 

Within the Cerrado biome, our area of operation is the Cerrado Mineiro region, comprised of 55 municipalities and 4,500 producers who use highly mechanized agriculture. Within this region lies the municipality of Patrocínio, where we developed our Pitolo project in the Feio stream basin.


The expansion strategy is planned to take place in six other municipalities, which together are responsible for 70% of coffee production in the biome. By 2023, the PIPC will expand to: Serra do Salitre, Monte Carmelo, Rio Paranaíba, Carmo do Paranaíba, Araguari, and Coromandel. The goal is to create smart agriculture corridors and leverage biodiversity gains in the region as a whole.
