Our work in Brazil

In Brazil, Elo project aims to link farmers together to share knowledge and exchange information with the hope of increasing marketability of their crops.

Elo works as part of Projeto Dom Helder Camara (PDHC), a local government-based enterprise, which supports agriculture, social development and local infrastructure. Such links are vital to enable successes to be shared and for the community to grow.
