We are Igor and Jainielson, and we study at the Dom Fragoso Agricultural Family School in the city of Independência, Ceará, Brazil
Raising goats in the semi-arid region is a sustainable alternative because these animals are resistant to heat and drought, which are typical of the region's climate.
Harvesting fresh fruits and vegetables from my own backyard, grown in an agroecological way, is an act of food sovereignty. Having the power to produce your own food guarantees greater health, savings and food security.
In my backyard, I like to grow chives, an essential seasoning in the kitchen. I also grow peppers, which I both eat and sell, as well as tomatoes, which are essential for salads.
We are students at FFS DOM FRAGOSO, located in the municipality of Independência, in the Santa Cruz community, 14 km from the school. We are presenting about the work of sheep farming at the school.
