During the week of 7 to 12 September, a delegation from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Corporation for the Sustainable Development of the Southern Amazon (Corpoamazonía) carried out a field mission to the Paraíso Amazónico Forest and Biodiversity Development Hub (NDFyB) in the municipality of Solano, Caquetá Department.

In the hills of Serra Malagueta, on Santiago Island in Cabo Verde, keeping soil on the slopes is part of keeping farming possible. Long dry periods make it difficult to grow crops and establish young trees. When rain does fall, it can wash away exposed soil. For families who depend on small farms and livestock, caring for the land is closely tied to earning a living.
