Since the election of Bolsonaro in 2019, the funds of many public Educational Institutions have been cut down in Brazil, including mine, a Federal one (linked directly to the central government), and the situation isn't that different with Lula in charge. This has really affected and limited our process of learning since we need proper tools to work on laboratory and stuff. So, inspired a bit by anarchism, social ecology, counter-economics (agorism) and, of course, solarpunk, we (our agroecology students union) have decided to create means to earn our funds through our skills and knowledge and stop relying so much on the government. It has been tough, but we already made something! The food that we produced and sold already gave us around R$800 in 3 months of work, something like $167~ (USD). Our next objectives in the long term by now is to buy a solar panel and automate some parts of our field, but we have plenty of work to do until then :).
