《联合国气候变化框架公约》第三十次缔约方大会（COP30）正在巴西帕拉州首府贝伦市举行。帕拉州 位于亚马孙雨林腹地，是巴西近年来积极探索发展与保护并行的发展路径、开展一系列可持续农业实践 的重点地区。近日，本报记者走进该州的农场、合作社与相关企业，了解当地农民、技术人员与政府部 门如何协同发力，助力亚马孙地区生态保护与可持续发展。 农林复合系统带动生态转型 在距离贝伦市约180公里的托梅—阿苏市，大片农林复合系统示范区绿意盎然。 托梅—阿苏农业合作社技术员佩德罗·席尔瓦向记者介绍，这种模式让油棕、可可、木本果树、经济林 木等作物相互补充，既有利于保持土壤肥力、减少病虫害，又能使退化的土地逐步恢复。"我们栽种的 不仅是经济作物，更是一片可自我更新的生态林。农户不再为了种植单一作物而砍伐雨林，而是让土地 回归大自然节律。"佩德罗说，目前，合作社正大力推广该种植模式，帮助农户以多样化种植替代单一 作物依赖，带动区域农业生态化转型。 在巴西，这种混合农业模式被称为"雨林农业系统"。今年2月，托梅—阿苏的农林复合系统被列入帕拉 州非物质文化遗产名录。随着植被覆盖率持续回升，农业系统的稳定性不断增强。"农林复合系统大幅 ...

新华社巴西贝伦11月2日电 行走拉美手记丨探访巴西热带雨林中的混合农业模式 新华社记者赵焱 巴西亚马孙雨林地区全年天气湿热，白天艳阳高照，傍晚时不时下场大雨，但这为油棕生长提供了 理想条件。距离巴西北部帕拉州首府贝伦约180公里的托梅-阿苏得益于这样的条件，当地大量种植油 棕。 油棕看上去与一般的棕榈无异，只是在农场中为了便于采摘，通常会控制树高。油棕的果实隐藏在 树冠处坚硬且边缘有刺的叶柄中间，待到一蓬蓬果实现出橙红色时就可以收割了。从这些果实中提取的 棕榈油用途非常广泛。 托梅-阿苏混合农业合作社首席执行官埃内斯托·铃木告诉记者，油棕果实的果肉和果核部分都能榨 油。冰淇淋、饼干、巧克力等食品，洗涤剂、肥皂、蜡烛等日用品，以及面霜和口红等化妆品，在制作 过程中通常都会使用棕榈油。此外，棕榈油还可用来生产更环保的生物柴油。 巴西农业研究公司发布的数据显示，一公顷油棕每年可产油约5吨，远高于大豆、蓖麻等作物。 不过，历史上不少农场为了追求经济利益，大量砍伐雨林后改种油棕，这种单一作物种植模式大大 破坏了雨林的生物多样性。"要想可持续发展，就要将油棕林也种植得像雨林一样，多种植物共存，因 此我们采取多种植物混合种 ...
