The future of the Amazon will be built by the people who already live and work there.
Throughout the Codajás–Anori region, thousands of smallholder farming families cultivate crops, harvest native forest products and maintain deep connections to the land that support their livelihoods.
At Amazterra, we believe that sustainable development must be inclusive.
Rather than building an isolated project, our goal is to create a network that connects local producers, farming communities and regional infrastructure into a stronger and more resilient bioeconomy.
This means working directly with smallholder farmers.
It means sharing knowledge, building relationships and creating opportunities for producers to participate in value chains that generate greater long-term benefits.
The Codajás–Anori corridor is one of the Amazon's most important açaí-producing regions. Many farming families combine açaí production with other agricultural activities, creating diverse production systems that have supported communities for generations.
By integrating these producers into the Amazterra network, we hope to strengthen local supply chains, improve market access and create additional opportunities for value creation closer to where the products are grown.
Partnerships like these are essential.
The Amazon does not need development that excludes local people.
It needs development that includes them.
Every farmer, every family and every community represents valuable knowledge about the region's landscapes, crops and traditions.
The strongest bioeconomy is one that grows together with the people who call the Amazon home.
That is the vision we are working toward—one partnership at a time.
