In 2023, Amazterra acquired approximately 70 hectares of degraded land near Codajás in the Brazilian Amazon.
At first glance, the area may not look extraordinary. A dirt road cuts through the landscape. Parts of the original forest remain intact, while other sections bear the marks of decades of unsustainable land use.
For many, degraded land represents a problem.
For us, it represents an opportunity.
The Amazterra project was founded on a simple belief: economic development and environmental restoration do not have to be opposing forces.
Rather than expanding into untouched rainforest, our goal is to create value on land that has already been altered, restoring productivity through regenerative agriculture, renewable energy and circular bioeconomy principles.
This image captures the very beginning of that journey.
There were no buildings. No processing equipment. No infrastructure. No electricity. Only a vision and a commitment to build something that could create lasting benefits for local communities while contributing to the restoration of the Amazon landscape.
Since then, the project has advanced step by step. Infrastructure planning was completed, equipment procurement began, and the first machinery started its long journey into the Amazon region.
The road ahead remains challenging.
Operating in remote parts of the Amazon requires overcoming logistical, technical and environmental obstacles that are difficult to appreciate from a distance. Yet these challenges are precisely why innovative solutions are needed.
Our long-term vision extends beyond agricultural production. We aim to demonstrate how regenerative farming, carbon removal technologies, renewable energy and local value creation can work together as part of a new model for sustainable development in the Amazon.
Every project has a starting point.
This landscape is ours.
We look forward to sharing the next chapters of the Amazterra journey.
