With R$ 150 Million from the Amazon Fund, the National Program for Productive Forests Strengthens Ecological Restoration, Land Regularization, and Income Generation in Amazon Settlements
The initiative of the National Program for Productive Forests marks a new stage in the sustainable development policy of the Amazon, according to an article published.
The Ministry of Agrarian Development and Family Agriculture (MDA), the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MMA), and the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) announced an investment of R$ 150 million from the Amazon Fund to restore degraded areas in 80 rural settlements.
The measure will recover 4,600 hectares and benefit about 6 thousand farming families, focusing on forest species that generate income and drive the regional green economy.

Iran became the largest buyer of Brazilian corn with 9.1 million tons, but the cargo leaves the field heading towards a global tension zone: sanctions, military risk in the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, and dependence on fertilizers turn the giant client of the national agribusiness into an alert for the next harvest.

Amazon Fund Investment Promotes Ecological Restoration and Sustainable Income
The Restaura Amazônia program’s public notice selected 17 proposals from civil society organizations aimed at environmental recovery and productive strengthening in agrarian reform territories.
According to the MDA Minister, Paulo Teixeira, the initiative was built from dialogue with farmers, traditional communities, and forest peoples, consolidating a reforestation model with more profitable productive species than soy or livestock.
The proposal establishes the National Program for Productive Forests as a key instrument for economic, social, and environmental transformation in the Amazon, reinforcing Brazil’s role as a global leader in reforestation at COP30.
Amazon Land Regularization Guarantees Legal Security and Productive Inclusion
In addition to the investment in restoration, the Amazon Fund will allocate R$ 146 million to the Caminhos Verdes program, carried out by the National Institute of Colonization and Agrarian Reform (Incra) in partnership with the MDA.
These resources will be applied to the modernization of systems and databases, georeferencing, and land regularization, allowing for the titling of 13 thousand families.
This action strengthens territorial governance and promotes stability for those who live off the land, making the National Program for Productive Forests a platform for integrating sustainability and rural citizenship.
National Program for Productive Forests: Resources for Amazon Restoration Reinforce Institutional Cooperation and COP30 Goals
The Minister of the Environment, Marina Silva, emphasized that productive restoration inaugurates a new cycle of prosperity, with the inclusion of women, youth, indigenous peoples, quilombolas, and family farmers.
The acting president of BNDES, Tereza Campello, highlighted that the bank and the MMA have never delivered so much with the Amazon Fund, calling the action “historic.”
The initiatives were presented during the Intercouncil Forum at the University of Brasília, as part of the COP30 Action Agenda, which will be hosted in Belém.
With this, the National Program for Productive Forests consolidates itself as a model of public policy that combines environmental restoration, social inclusion, and sustainable growth throughout the Legal Amazon.
