In the "Inclusão social with the Cultivar project of the Cocamar cooperative in Maringá" YouTube video segment, the speaker emphasizes the social inclusion aspect of the project, which began in 2006 in Maringá and Rolândia. The initiative provides employment for students from Zapis schools, who receive half the minimum wage per month for half-day work, producing seedlings for Cooperativa Cocamar's cooperatives at no cost. The collaboration between Cultivar and Zapis demonstrates a commitment to social inclusion, sustainable development, and community engagement. The speaker then visits a farmer, Eduardo Veloso, in Santo Anastasio, São Paulo, who planted 40,000 Cultivar seedlings and revitalized his drying water source, leading to irrigation authorization in 2020 and attracting various wildlife species back to the area. João Pereira, the farm manager at Fazenda Primavera, is featured, sharing his techniques for planting and caring for saplings in the challenging region's heat and sandy soil. The Cultivar project, which has produced 77,000 saplings in 2023, aims to include producers and the community by donating saplings at events. The speaker encourages more producers to take advantage of this opportunity and receive free saplings from Cocamar.

The project, initiated in 2006 in Maringá and Rolândia, aims to produce seedlings of various tree species for Cooperativa Cocamar's cooperatives without cost. This initiative is part of a broader social inclusion effort and provides employment for students from Zapis schools. The students receive half the minimum wage per month for their half-day work. The collaboration between the Cultivar project and Zapis demonstrates a special commitment to social inclusion, sustainable development, and community engagement. Five years after the initial report, the speaker visits a farmer in Santo Anastasio, São Paulo, who planted 40,000 Cultivar seedlings on his property and revitalized the drying water source. The Cultivar project, which began in Maringá and Rolândia, has produced 40,000 seedlings through the project. The farmer, Eduardo Veloso, explains that the planting of these seedlings led to an increase in water volume on his farm, which allowed him to obtain irrigation authorization in 2020. The reforestation efforts have also attracted various wildlife species, including birds, onças, capivaras, and quatis, back to the area. Veloso expresses his satisfaction with the decision to plant Cultivar seedlings and now plants both trees and water, recognizing the importance of water in the region.
