Â Maria-Brazil Home Page

This is supposed to be about Marisa Monte's latest, dedicated, as she puts to the "atmosphere of samba." It's a delicate, sweet, and impeccable homage to Brazil's national sound.
Please note that this e-mail will always be disabled while we are in Brazil, due to the spectacular amount of spam we receive every day.
Join us on a tour of the magnificent Parque Nacional da Serra da Capivara in the state of PiauÃ, where we walked for several days and stood in awe of 12,000-year-old cave paintings and other vestiges of human and animal habitation in prehistoric Brazil.

Â SA?o Paulo travel guide - Sao Paulo, Brazil

Residents of the city, Paulistanos, talk smugly of their work ethic, supposedly superior to that which dominates the rest of Brazil, and speak contemptuously of the idleness of cariocas (in reply, cariocas joke sourly that Paulistanos are simply incapable of enjoying anything, sex in particular).
The city's food, too, is often excellent, thanks to immigrants from so many parts of the world.
Even now, conservation is seen as not being profitable, and SA?o Paulo is more concerned with rising population, rising production and rising consumption - factors that today are paralleled by rising levels of homelessness, pollution and violence.

Â Conservation Ecology: The Relations Among Threatened Species, Their Protection, and Taboos

The taboo on the green sea turtle, Chelonia mydas, (no. 20, Table 1) constitutes an example of local avoidance, because the specific-species taboo is locally restricted to the people of Buzios Island in Brazil.
Food taboos and= folk medicine among fishermen from the Tocantins River (Brazil).
It is tempting to regard specific food taboos as mechanisms in a resource= management strategy, since they regulate the exploitation of species to = a greater or lesser extent (McDonald 1977).

Â Encyclopedia: History of Brazil

Present Brazilian culture owes much to those peoples, including the development of crops like the cassava (still a major staple food in the rural regions) and the complex knowledge needed for survival in the tropical jungle.
Brazil was discovered by Europeans on January 26, 1500, by Vicente YÃƒÂ¡ÃƒÂ±ez PinzÃƒÂ³n, a Spaniard who had been a companion of Columbus.
Vargas was a member of the gaucho-landed oligarchy and had risen through the system of patronage and clientelism, but he had a fresh vision of how Brazilian politics could be shaped to support national development.

Â Brazil Deforestation: Latifundios and Landless

Only 12% of Brazil's land is owned by small producers (100 hectares or less) and yet they produce 80% of the nation's food.
Brazil held its first direct elections for President in 1989 which indicates the low degree of participation citizens historically were accustomed to having in the country.
The failure of Brazil's judicial system to bring large land owners and gunmen to justice for murder, slave-like peonage, and violent land expulsions of peasants from land has driven landless families to the northern most reaches of the country, the Amazon region, in search of safety and subsistence.

Â Resources and Capabilities

For example, Pensão do Nordeste, a food delivery business in Cantagalo, is owned by three unrelated neighbors from three different regions of Brazil who joined hands because of financial needs and a shared desire to launch a business.
While Brazil does not have an apartheid legacy per se, its education system has similarly faltered, especially in providing for the poorest sectors of the country's population, most of whom are people of color, as are the majority of the residents of Cantagalo.
Without trust and without networks, which so often come hand in hand, the entrepreneur finds himself/herself a solo survivalist, which is the most difficult position from which an entrepreneur can hope to grow and prosper.

Â The Micro-Enterprise of the Inner-City

The major categories of products that can be consistently found in both Cantagalo and Alexandra are packaged food, fresh produce, cooked food, beverages, toiletries, household goods, cigarettes, and a small group of other goods and services.
Whereas the vast majority of the micro-enterprises in Cantagalo are not registered with the local city government, a small share of micro-enterprises in Alexandra are.
Despite the existence of this commercial street, the actual micro-enterprises of Alexandra, as well as Cantagalo, remain characterized by their immediate proximity to the homes of local residents.

Â Finding strength in numbers

In Brazil, FAO's Special Programme for Food Security (SPFS) is the vehicle through which FAO contributes to the Brazilian Zero Hunger Programme, entitled Fome Zero.
And increasingly more people are keen to become involved, through their local governments, in working towards the goal of achieving a world without hunger.
The SPFS acts as a framework for carrying out initiatives involving various stakeholders, local governments, farmers, non-governmental organizations and others in broad programmes for rural development and food security.

Â Ashoka Fellow Profile - Ninom Rouze Moreira

Her program of nutritional self-reliance has three elements: (1) understanding the comparative nutritional value of different foods and fully utilizing foodstuffs; (2) identifying new food sources in their own vicinities; and (3) studying the ways in which food cultivation, preparation and preservation affect nutrition and health.
Hunger is a common reality in Brazil, where it is estimated that 32 million people suffer from malnutrition.
This approach enables her to reach larger numbers of people more quickly and gives further incentives for her multipliers by offering them the possibility of teaching these groups.

Studies of metabolic rate and fat oxidation in shantytown children from São Paulo, Brazil.
The Pima Indians living in the United States are morbidly obese and suffer from high rates of diabetes and hypertension (Ravussin and Swinburn, 1993).
It has been suggested that the Pima Indians possess a "thrifty gene" that predisposes them to weight gain when environmental conditions such as sufficient food supply, high-fat diets or decreased physical activity are favourable (Ravussin and Swinburn, 1993).

Â Brazil - The Colonial Era, 1500-1815

It could be said that today's Brazil owes its vast territory to the native Indians who served as skilled trackers, warriors, porters, food suppliers, and paddlers for the Portuguese expeditions, and to the Indians whose potential as slaves lured the Portuguese inland.
On the modern map of Brazil, in the north the line cuts across the eastern end of the Ilha de MarajÃ³, and in the south it passes through Laguna on the coast of Santa Catarina.
Although the two governments on the Iberian Peninsula and in the Americas were kept separate, trade and travel controls became lax.

Â papiamento

Papiamento or Papiamentu is the primary language spoken on the Caribbean islands of Aruba, CuraÃ§ao and Bonaire.
But, Papiamento actually derived from the Pidginized Portuguese spoken among Sephardic Jews and their slaves after they fled Brazil, and from Spanish by Spaniards who came later in the 16th and 17th century.
Many Papiamento speakers are also able to speak Dutch as official language, English and Spanish.

Â Mexican Lime

With terpenes and sesquiterpenes removed, it is extensively used in flavoring soft drinks, confectionery, ice cream, sherbet, and other food products.
In the Bahamas, fishermen and others who spend days in their sailboats, always have with them their bottles of homemade "old sour"–lime juice and salt.
In Papiamento in the Netherlands Antilles it is lamoentsji or lamunchi, in Brazil, limao galego, or lintao miudo.
