deforestation.The man of the Northeast mostly, along with others from other regions of Brazil and the world, who arrived there, found great facility to have cattle, since in order to obtain ownership of the land they just had only to turn 50% of their land to pasture.An artificial intelligence system evaluates the fruits and vegetables with a far more sophisticated sensors than our eyes, robotic arms collect the fruit and place it in a circular basket, aboard a collector drone.Today there are 60 million head of cattle in the Amazon, a ratio of three oxen for every inhabitant of the region.How to change the NAPE philosophy into YANOMAMI THEPE?We, the NAPE, look at the forest and see just weeds not a farm, if we want to plant something there, we have to deforest it first, and them plant later, but a local group of Japanese immigrants, inspired by local natives create the so-called agroforestry systems.Hajime Yamada arrived in Tome-Acu on September 22, 1929, he learned from the indigenous the technology of agroforestry system, we always look at the forest as weeds, not as a farm (photo: documentary Eternal Amazon)A group of Japanese immigrants arrived to the municipality of Tome-Acu-PA, (Para), at the end of the 1920s with the proposal of planting of black pepper, In the 70s with falling prices and epidemics in pimentais (pepper farms) made them rethink their business.Based on ancient Indigenous knowledge, they began to cultivate black pepper kingdom in the same space of cocoa and with cupuacu, papaya, acai, coconut, passion fruit, Brazilian-nut, natural rubber and parica. The plague of pimentais was countered by locals predators, brought by other plants in balance with nature.Since then, the system has been improved by trial and error in choosing the best species combinations. Today, Tome-Acu is a reference in this type of planting and the cooperative accumulated several awards related to entrepreneurship and sustainability.In addition, the CAMTA promotes and guides the adoption of agroforestry systems for family farmers in neighboring municipalities and conducts the commercialization of this production, a project that serves about a thousand families in the region.Latex extraction robots operate autonomously, supplied with sunlight. The 'estradas de seringa' (the slashes in the bark of the rubber tree) are accurate, as have sophisticated sensors that make precise calculations to take better advantage of extraction.The basic idea of this agroforestry system is to achieve the integrated planting of different plant species, of different sizes together in the same area, forming several 'floors' - the process just gets its name from agriculture floors.The agroforestry system, long-known by indigenous peoples, offers a number of advantages such as:- As it generates large amount of organic matter in soil from various crops, there is less need for fertilizers and pesticides;- This variety of nutrients generates healthier food;- The abundant vegetation cover also retains the moisture of the ground, protects the crops from the sun and provides a more pleasant environment to work in the field;- The planting of several crops at the same time allows continued production and generates income during the whole year.An important
