Reforestation trough agroforestry.

We won’t be able to fight climate change if deforestation of the Brazilian rainforest continues. CO2 sink, global rain dispenser or biodiversity Hot- Spot: The Rainforest is of existential importance for global climate. 

In Brazil, there are huge territories that have been transformed from live- pulsating rainforests into abandoned savannah. Such a piece of land we want to buy and replant it with an agroforest. In an agroforest, several kinds of plants and trees form a diverse community. In other words: we’re going to plant a productive forest. Trough our project we want to prove that reforestation and agriculture doesn’t have to be seen as a contrast. Agroforestry makes possible a sustainable form of land-use and resolves the contradiction of environmental protection and fruitful farmland. In Brazil, there already exists a big agroforestry community, but influence of agro-business is stopping it from developing big scale flagship projects.

Agriculture - responsible for 10-12% of global greenhouse gas emissions - plays a significant role in the climate crisis. 

Agroforestry presents a promising solution. By integrating trees and shrubs into agricultural landscapes, agroforestry not only sequesters carbon from the atmosphere but also enhances the resilience of farming systems against extreme weather. It is a sustainable practice that improves soil health, conserves water, and promotes biodiversity, offering a lifeline for farmers on the frontlines of climate change.
Our objective is to drive systemic change towards regenerative agriculture by fostering practices that enhance carbon capture, freshwater security, food security, and biodiversity. We recognize that these environmental goals cannot be separated from social justice. Thus, this project also aims to reduce rural poverty, address rural depopulation, and promote equitable land distribution.
