Description
Two years after Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil was hit with the worst floods in the state’s history, Yara Brazil continues to support farmers in their recovery efforts, while applying lessons learned to assess and mitigate climate risks.
To help the recovery efforts, Yara partnered with the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) in 2025 and again in 2026 to support Recupera Rural RS.
This is a collaborative initiative led by Embrapa that brings together several institutions in a joint effort to promote the socio-productive recovery of Rio Grande do Sul.
“The initiative aims to restore degraded areas, recover soil fertility and strengthen the resilience of agricultural systems. Yara is contributing to the sustainable recovery of the state,” says Rosane Martinazzo, deputy head of Research and Development at Embrapa Temperate Climate.
Yara Brazil has contributed with financial support, crop nutrition knowledge, technology and solutions to support farmers in restoring soils.
“Rio Grande do Sul is an important state for Yara and where we have our roots in Brazil, so we wanted to lend our support,” says Marcelo, who leads the Recupera Rural RS initiative for Yara.
