São Paulo rural producers receive free technical guidance for environmental regularization, sustainable management, restoration of protected areas, and income generation in the countryside with the support of the Rural Environmental Regularization Coordination, which expands environmental programs and encourages agricultural production combined with the preservation of native vegetation.
São Paulo rural producers receive technical guidance from the Government of São Paulo for environmental regularization, use of preserved areas, and sustainable management of native vegetation. Actions include legal support and incentives for income generation in the countryside.
The initiative is led by the Rural Environmental Regularization Coordination. The work brings together services related to native vegetation management, Agroforestry Systems, collection of forest products, commercial planting of native species, and environmental regularization.
Environmental regularization and income
Secretary Geraldo Melo stated that rural producers can transform environmental regularization into income generation, property valuation, and legal certainty. The government seeks to expand the use of opportunities provided for in environmental legislation.

Brazilian agriculture has million-dollar machines, record harvests, and digital farms, but 83% of producers report difficulty in hiring qualified professionals to operate and maintain the new generation of the field.

Indonesia buys chicken, meat, and grains from Brazil to supply 280 million inhabitants, but the president of the fourth most populous country in the world declared self-sufficiency in rice, eliminated imports that reached 4.52 million tons, and now targets sugar, soy, and wheat in a food shift that could change what Brazilian agribusiness sells to the Asian giant.
Geraldo Melo declared that environmental regularization is often associated with the loss of productive areas. He told rural producers that it is possible to preserve, produce, and generate income simultaneously.
Producers with Legal Reserve areas undergoing restoration within the Environmental Regularization Program can receive guidance on sustainable management of native vegetation. The procedure allows reconciling environmental preservation with economic use of rural properties.
Productive use of preserved areas
Family farmers can continue using Permanent Preservation Areas with Agroforestry Systems. The model combines native trees with sustainable agricultural production, allowing for the continuity of rural activities.
The commercial collection of seeds, fruits, and other forest products from native vegetation can be carried out with prior communication to the responsible agencies. The CRAR team guides rural producers on the procedures required by environmental legislation.
Commercial planting and technical guidance
Another possibility offered to rural producers is the registration of native species planting areas for future exploitation. After registration, the harvesting and commercialization of timber can occur without specific cutting authorization.
In addition to environmental regularization, the Rural Environmental Regularization Coordination provides guidance on the restoration of protected areas. It also clarifies doubts about the permitted use of exotic species and environmental legislation applied to rural properties in São Paulo.
Interested producers can contact the CRAR team via the email address manejodenativas@sp.gov.br. The service includes clarifications on environmental regularization, native vegetation management, and restoration of protected areas.
São Paulo leads environmental regularization
The State of São Paulo has surpassed 200,000 validated Rural Environmental Registries and leads the implementation of the Brazilian Forest Code. More than 54,000 registries have identified environmental liabilities, covering an area of over 2.8 million hectares.
The state accounts for over 111,000 hectares in environmental restoration processes, including Permanent Preservation Areas and Legal Reserves. The Secretariat of Agriculture has achieved over 1,050 committed PRADAs signed by rural producers.
The PRADAs cover over 562,000 hectares in the state. Approximately 20,000 hectares are designated for environmental restoration, while another 9,900 hectares are linked to Legal Reserve compensation for São Paulo rural producers.
Geraldo Melo stated that the numbers show the advancement of the environmental agenda as a structuring public policy for São Paulo’s agribusiness. The secretary declared that rural producers should be treated as partners in environmental preservation, with guidance and legal certainty.
