Socioeconomic Reparation

The program has a series of initiatives aimed at repairing the socioeconomic effects of the collapse. The indication of projects for Brumadinho and municipalities in the Parauapebas River Basin by the parties involved was made based on a popular consultation with affected residents.

Donation of open-air market kits

Affected municipalities received the Open-Air Market Kits Donation project whose goal is to support the adaptation of the infrastructure of open-air markets and train farmers eligible for the project in the technical and managerial management of the production and marketing of agricultural products.

Land regularization

Carrying out surveys, identification and georeferencing of properties subject to land regularization.

The initiative aims to structure and train the State Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (Seapa) with equipment to enable the preparation of georeferencing services, such as on-site analyses and inspection, in addition to carrying out topographic surveys with georeferencing in order to assist in the demand for land regularization of vacant lands in participating municipalities.

Agriculture Promotion Program

To support the resumption of local agriculture, 192 farmers from Brumadinho participated in studies on local productive adaptations. The objective was to develop processes to strengthen agriculture and livestock farming and implement production traceability, with a view to legal compliance and access to diversified markets.

Wolbachia Biofactory

One of the projects included in the Reparation Agreement for the Vale dam collapse in Brumadinho is the Wolbachia Biofactory. The completion of the works was announced on April 29, 2024 by the Government of Minas Gerais. The unit for controlling arboviruses, such as zika, dengue and chikungunya, was built in Belo Horizonte and will initially assist municipalities in the Parauapebas River Basin affected by the Vale dam collapse in Brumadinho and nearby locations.

Socio-environmental Reparation

It is our duty to take action in favor of socio-environmental reparation, and we take this very seriously. With dedication, work and transparency, we remain committed to transforming this commitment into concrete results. Therefore, we created a dedicated page to present the initiatives, detail the project fronts, share technical explanations and show the results achieved.
