Amazon landowners suffer from basic financial needs unmet, many relying on government programs insufficient to make a difference. Small and mid-size family farms, indigenous groups, and even larger farmers are unable to properly conduct and scale their agricultural projects due to the lack of financial resources to buy necessary machinery and supplies. This reality calls for unsafe land preparation methods involving fires that often go out of control and destroy large areas of the rainforest.

A solution that would supplement landowners’ income making it impossible for them to produce and provide for their families and communities safely has not been provided so far. We know that from first-hand experience in the Amazon Rainforest as founders with families still living in the Rainforest.
