Discover the Growing with the Locality program
Since 2022, the André and Lucia Maggi Foundation has been conducting the "Growing with the Locality" program, a program that covers four key fronts: Family Farming, Entrepreneurship, Professional Qualification, and Employability, Strengthening Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) Social and Collective Movements. "Growing with the Locality" is not limited to these fronts; it also has support areas that provide data, coordinate partners, activate the ecosystem, integrate resources, promote innovation, and expand the dissemination of intervention results and impacts.
Redefining productivity in the value chain:
Operational improvements in local markets in an integrated way that tackles social problems, guided by changes in the value chain.
Promotion of the development of local clusters:
Improvements in the local environment, which directly affects market costs and productivity, are aimed at external changes in the territories of operation.
The first axis covers the Professional Qualification and Family Farming subprograms, and the second, Entrepreneurship and CSO Strengthening.
Target Audience
The program's target audience is people and groups in situations of socioeconomic vulnerability, including traditional communities, indigenous people, family farmers, women, young people, black people, and LGBTQIA+. This approach is based on an inclusive and comprehensive vision, considering violations or restrictions on rights related to various aspects such as race, gender, and age.

GET TO KNOW THE RELATED PROJECTS
Farmers of the future
The project aims to strengthen the retention of rural youth in agriculture through participatory business plans focused on production, marketing, and income generation. Additionally, there will be ongoing discussions about public policies related to sustainable rural development, seeking to reduce challenges faced by the target audience in rural areas, such as the issue of rural succession.
Cultivating the future
The "Cultivating the Future" project aims to strengthen and include family farming enterprises, which currently employ around 10 million people in Brazil, playing a crucial role in the economy and generating approximately R$ 107 billion. Currently, the FALM project serves the Itamarati Farm of AMAGGI, located between the municipalities of Tangará da Serra and Campo Novo do Parecis. This unit is the largest in the company and maintains a cafeteria for about 1,189 employees daily, serving 2,588 meals with a variety of foods.
Subprogram
Entrepreneurship
The Foundation contributes to the diversification and strengthening of municipalities' economic matrix, creating a more fertile environment for territorial development. It supports entrepreneurship and the professionalization of economic activities in the locations served.
Promotion of productive inclusion and generation of work and income.
Local Supplier Development
We encourage the development and integration of local suppliers and service providers in the value chain in other private markets, including the Agro sector. The main objective is to professionalize local suppliers of products and services to the necessary institutional maturity.
Business Creation and Development
We support the creation and development of businesses, expanding opportunities to generate work and income in regions with low economic dynamism and for groups in situations of socioeconomic vulnerability.
More developed and qualified local organizations and suppliers.
Expected Results

Subprogram
Professional qualification and employability
For the Foundation, qualification, and employability are complementary themes, as access to quality education is fundamental to breaking cycles of poverty and inequality. With this objective, we work to promote the development of cognitive, socio-emotional, and technical skills, prepare people to access employment opportunities in the labor market, promote diversity, and include people in situations of socioeconomic vulnerability in the processes of access to decent work. We also work on preparing educators to train future professionals, as well as providing opportunities to bring this audience closer to the experience of working in the field.
Expanding the supply, access, and retention of local labor in the job market.
Cognitive, Socio-emotional, and Technical Skills
We encourage opportunities to develop cognitive, technical, and socio-emotional skills, helping to train future professionals for entry and maintenance in the job market.
Qualification Opportunities
Through partnerships with higher education institutions, technical schools, universities, and S system organizations, we prepare people to have decent employment opportunities. We offer scholarships and monitor progress during courses, completion, and entry into the job market.
Diversity of Inclusion in the Market
Through articulations with the local employability network, we seek to raise awareness regarding the theme of promoting diversity and inclusion of some social groups in the process of access to the job market—such as black people, young people from peripheral areas, the LGBTQIA+ population, people with disabilities (PWDs), and women in situations of social vulnerability.
Developed skills, qualified professionals, and local employers made aware of hiring labor
Expected Results
Educators trained to develop students' competencies
Young people better prepared to enter and remain in the job market
Expanded opportunities for people to receive qualifications in the territories
Subprogram
CSOs, MOVEMENTS AND SOCIAL COLLECTIVES
We identify and map CSOs with opportunities to create ties and network relationships, consolidate themselves in territories, and diversify their sources of financing, in addition to being recognized as protagonists and important social actors in the communities where they operate. In this sense, the Foundation promotes the learning of new knowledge and skills in CSOs and encourages the improvement of their institutional development.
CSOs with strengthened capabilities and better performance in the territories.
Incentive and Financial Support for CSOs
CSOs receive incentives and financial support from the Foundation to strengthen themselves institutionally and to carry out their activities. To this end, throughout its strengthening journey, the Foundation transfers resources to enable improvements that reflect the service provided to people in situations of socioeconomic vulnerability.
Institutional Capacity Development
The development of institutional capabilities is essential so that third-sector organizations can fully implement strategic agendas to overcome social vulnerabilities. The Foundation calls CSOs in the municipalities where it operates; the organizations participate in a journey with institutional maturity diagnoses, development plans, training, and mentoring that culminates in a sustainability plan.
Support for Local Social Projects
Engagement activities for AMAGGI employees are planned to support the execution of local projects, which will receive financial incentives from the Foundation in order to strengthen the company's bond with the surrounding communities and strengthen employees' pride in belonging.
CSOs with strengthened capabilities and better performance in the territories
