Abstract

The village of Dourados has a population of about 17 thousand indigenous people from three ethnic groups: Kaiowá, Nhandéva and Terena. The predominant farm is a monoculture of soy and maize. Therefore, there is small-scale production (garden gardens), varieties of corn, zucchini, cassava, vegetables, sweet potatoes, etc. This production is restricted in some families due to lack of resources, technical assistance, materials and financing for the cultivation. For this reason, there are families that have major terraces, rented for a third party. And many times I ended up selling this piece of land and caemnas dependencies, two basic baskets from Funai, Government of the State and NGOs. The implantation of Seed House is certain of a novelty for the indigenous community of Dourados / MS. In this year 2020, there are 10 families that will raise their minds to save this space.
