Ordinance Establishes the National Sustainable Irrigation Program for Family Agriculture, Focused on Efficient Technologies, Renewable Energy, and Actions to Increase Productivity and Environmental Preservation

An ordinance published this Wednesday (11/19) established the National Sustainable Irrigation Program for Family Agriculture, known as Pronisaf. The objective is to promote the efficient use of water resources and improve the living conditions of family farmers.

The measure was signed by the ministries of Agrarian Development, Integration and Regional Development, Mines and Energy, and Development and Social Assistance, Family, and Fight Against Hunger.

Proposals of Pronisaf

The program aims to encourage low environmental impact and high efficiency irrigation technologies, associated with the use of renewable energy and agroecological management methods.

Guidelines and Priorities

According to the federal government, the program intends to integrate soil and water conservation practices with the diversification of water collection sources. One of the guidelines is to provide tools for access to credit and financing for the acquisition of technologies aimed at sustainable irrigation, in addition to promoting the use of renewable energy, such as solar, to power irrigation systems.

Pronisaf will prioritize family farmers with inefficient or non-existent irrigation systems, who produce on agroecological bases or are in agroecological transition, who are in areas with water scarcity, or who are organized in associations.

Implementation and Expected Impacts

Implementation will occur through agreements and partnership instruments signed by the involved ministries, states, municipalities, and civil society entities.

The expectation is that the program will contribute to increasing the productivity of family agriculture, generating income in rural areas, and reducing regional inequalities, as stated by the government.

Implementation and Expected Impacts

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Heir bought 23,000 degraded acres in the Scottish Highlands, fenced the area, planted nearly 1 million native trees, and transformed empty mountains into a forest officially recognized after meeting 15 evaluation criteria over 20 years.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.
