Infographic: Forest-based Value Chains: A New Bioeconomy for the Amazon Forest
By Verena Manolis, Cheyenne Coxon, and Genevieve Bennett View PublicationForest Trends partners with indigenous communities in Brazil’s Tupi Mosaic to develop economic enterprises that promote forest conservation. We’re building sustainable value chains for açaí, artisan products, Brazil nuts, and cacao, and demonstrating the business model for native seeds and seedlings. The “Amazon Bioeconomy” we are building mimics traditional Amazon management systems, creating a diversity of supply chains based on the incredible natural wealth of the region.
