Sinopse do Episódio "Babaçu and the Coconut Breakers: Empowerment, Tradition, and Sustainability"

In this episode, we explore the babaçu palm, a native Brazilian species, and the lives of the quebradeiras de coco babaçu—women engaged in the sustainable harvesting of its coconuts, primarily in Maranhão and Tocantins. We discuss the history of these women's struggle for their rights, the economic and cultural significance of babaçu in the region, and the diverse products derived from the palm, such as oil, handicrafts, and food. The episode also delves into the challenges and achievements of the quebradeiras, including their fight for "free babaçu," a movement that ensures access to the palms and promotes environmental conservation. Join us to discover how these women blend tradition with activism to sustain their livelihoods and protect their environment.
