Sustainability and Agroforestry

The Challenges of the Amazon

The Colombian Amazon is one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, but it’s disappearing fast. Illegal logging, cattle farming, and coca plantations have destroyed thousands of hectares of forest.

These activities don’t just cut down trees—they damage ecosystems, push species closer to extinction, and release massive amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. Amazon is losing its ability to protect the planet from climate change.

But the crisis is not just environmental. Many farmers in the region live in poverty. With few ways to generate income, some are forced to plant coca to survive. Many communities are forced into illegal farming and deforestation, while criminal groups profit from it.

The consequences of inaction are severe. Without sustainable solutions, deforestation will continue to displace indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities. Species native to the Amazon will go extinct, and the forest’s ability to store carbon will collapse, worsening climate change.

 

 

Açaí palms are playing a key role in restoring the Amazon. They help bring back lost forests, protect biodiversity, and create a sustainable source of income for amazon communities. Instead of losing more land to deforestation, these trees are regenerating it. In the next section, learn how this transformation is happening and what it means for the future of the Amazon.

 


Açaí: a people and planet friendly solution

 

Our açaí is more than just a superfood—it plays an important role in protecting the Amazon and supporting local communities. It grows in agroforestry systems, which offer a viable solution for both the rainforest and the people who depend on it.

What is agroforestry?

 

Agroforestry is a way of farming that combines native trees and crops on the same land. In the Colombian Amazon, agroforestry focuses on native açaí palms, along with crops like cassava and plantain and some timber trees. These plants grow together naturally, creating a balanced and healthy ecosystem.

With agroforestry, farmers don’t have to choose between protecting the environment and making a living—they can do both. This responsible approach proves that economic growth and environmental responsibility can work hand in hand.

How açaí is creating a positive impact

 

By working with nature instead of against it, agroforestry creates a balance between productivity and conservation. It restores soil and protects biodiversity but also provides farmers with a stable income.

For the people
  • Creates new income opportunities.

  • Reduce the dependence on Coca Plantation.

  • Eliminate monoculture.

  • Open new opportunities in the organic and sustainable markets

For the planet
  • Restore degraded land.

  • Creating wildlife habitats restores biodiversity by providing safe spaces for native species to thrive and repopulate.

  • Capture CO2 to help mitigate climate change.

  • Prevents erosion and protects water sources.
