According to the Bank’s website, the objective of this project is to increase climate resilience and market access of family farmers in the State of Santa Catarina.
The project aims at increasing resilience of family farmers by lifting the bottlenecks that prevent their sustainable intensification and development. The project will support family farmers in targeted areas to (i) improve the agrifood system sustainability, through the adoption of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices, sustainable management of natural resources and environmental regularization, (ii) build minimum asset ownership for agrifood production, through productive assets transfers, access to finance and innovations, technical and managerial assistance, and (iii) delivery of last-mile agriculture public goods and services by supporting farms connection to rural roads, on-farm electrification and digital connectivity, access to information. The project will also provide support to the State of Santa Catarina to integrate this approach into its agricultural policies and programs.
Environmental risk is moderate. The moderate risk rating accounts primarily for the moderate impacts from the road rehabilitation works, which may include: the generation and disposal of construction wastes; water pollution from construction runoff; noise, dust emissions and land degradation from quarries, construction workplace and traffic hazards for the workers and communities; and workplace construction OHS risks. Also, moderate risks can be expected from investments on agri-food marketing chain (food processing) such as wastewater generation and disposal (subcomponent 1.1). On the other side lower and diffuse impacts are also expected from smallholder’s (family) agriculture activities supported by the project (subcomponent 1.2) and community-based tourism (subcomponent 1.3). The prior experience and demonstrated capacity to manage E&S risks built from Project’s phase 1 experience has also been considered as part of the risk rating determination.
The social risk rating also is Moderate. Although it cannot be ruled out that the recovery works of critical points of secondary roads may require the acquisition of small areas of bare land, the Project is not expected to need land acquisition with significant adverse impacts related to physical or economic resettlement. Adverse impacts related to the influx of workers and issues related to sexual harassment or abuse and violence against women are also not expected.
