Tridge summary

Researcher Ana Euler from Embrapa in Amapá, Brazil, has been selected for the Embrapa Visiting Researcher Training Program to spend a year in France. The project focuses on the Geographic Indication (GI) and Traditional Agricultural System (SAT) as tools to sustain the production and valorization of local knowledge in the Amazon, with a particular emphasis on açaí production in the Bailique Territory. During her time in France, Euler will engage in studies, seminars, and exchanges with leading research institutions like the Natural History Museum in Paris and the Department of Innovation/Cirad in Montpellier. The main objective is to enhance the protection of local knowledge, conservation of agrobiodiversity, and valuation of non-timber forest products in Amapá, with findings to be integrated into Amapá's Economic and Ecological Zoning policy and potentially a Bailique candidacy for the Ingenious Systems of World Agricultural Heritage (GHIAS) circuit.

For a year, the forestry engineer will be dedicated to exchange activities in France, the country where the partner institutions of the work plan are located. “Starting this program during the pandemic was a big challenge, but I'm sure it will be worth it. Paloc and Cirad are institutions of excellence in research linked to territorial development and globalization, with projects in all tropical regions of the world. It has been a moment of exchanges and a lot of learning, above all adapting to a new reality and understanding the value attributed to the Amazon, its peoples and products”, highlighted Ana Euler, who is already ...
