One of the new digital technology developments to be launched at the 52nd Amapá Agricultural Fair is the Amazônia Vox platform (amazoniavox.com), which will be presented at the Embrapa stand, from 6 pm to 7 pm on Thursday (5).
The platform has been online since July and already has more than 600 registered sources of knowledge from the 9 states in the region, 380 Amazonian communication freelancers and will soon have content based on Solutions Journalism, presenting local initiatives that provide responses to the challenges of development in the Amazon.
Amazônia Vox is an initiative of the Bem da Amazônia Institute, headquartered in Belém (PA) and with teams of representatives throughout the region. The institution also promotes communication training and supports projects aimed at the sustainable development of the region.
During the presentation at Expofeira, the coordinators will be available to answer questions and interact with those interested in learning about how it works, registering voluntarily, free of charge and collaboratively as a source of knowledge, freelance communications; and providing guidance on how to submit events and articles for publication and dissemination.
The platform's general coordinator and the Institute's CEO, Daniel Nardin, states that at this time when the Amazon is the focus of attention around the world, especially with the proximity of COP 30 in Belém in 2025, it is essential to strengthen alliances and work on initiatives with professionals from the region.
“We are grateful for the space and opportunity that Embrapa is offering us to demonstrate that we already have a good number of sources and professionals from Amapá and that there can be many more, in addition to the benefits we are seeking through the platform. Amazônia Vox only makes sense if it has this base in all the states of the Amazon,” highlights Nardin.
For Embrapa, the Amazônia Voz platform is an opportunity for a qualified partnership to more efficiently and strategically disseminate the technologies, products and services generated by the company's researchers. "Given this initiative, we support its use not only by communicators and sources in Amapá, but also by all Embrapa units in the Amazon. We have good prospects for this partnership that begins with the launch of the Amazônia Vox platform at our stand at the 52nd Agricultural Expo Fair", said Public Relations Aline Furtado, Communications Supervisor at Embrapa Amapá.
